Jihad,

This is most likely because you have shorter legs/arms. I'm pretty tall and have long arms, thus better leveraging for deadlifting and a harder time benching/squatting.

I think my squatting will eventually get up there (I see potential, although I have a bad knee and can't squat wide because my hips suck), but my bench is pretty much hopeless because my arms are so long.
