Novice SS, Squat more than I Deadlift

[Nitrox]

Hey Coach, I'm one month into the novice SS program, started at
BW 173
Squat 135
Press 95
Bench 115
Deadlift 135
Power Clean 95

12 workouts later:
BW 183
Squat 235
Press 120
Bench 140
Deadlift 210
Power Clean 120

As you can see my squat is more than my deadlift (and only this week will start to converge slowly, since I just dropped to 5lb jumps on my squat), and this makes me sad. I don't want to jack up the novice program, but I want to make sure I get the most out of it. In retrospect I should have established my deadlift well ahead of my squat, as it just started to feel heavy at 195.
Should I drop cleans and deadlift every workout for a few, make jumps larger than 15lb, leave it alone?

P.S. This forum is awesome

You started the deadlift at the incorrect weight. You did not do the program as It Is Written.

Maybe you are squatting high.

I know this now, but I want to correct the mistake I made. What is the best way to accomplish this?

...make bigger deadlift jumps? goddamn. It's low enough you could probably jump 15-20lbs / session.

your press is 120 but your bench is only 140? is this a function of starting too low on the bench or are you push pressing or something?

I attempted to follow SS's directions on which weights to start at, and that's where my form broke down (also why I started DL too low). The DL just started feeling heavy, but bench has not...but I'm only increasing bench by 5lbs since the book stressed too slow is better than too fast a whole bunch

So no, not push pressing at all

Well, there's slow and there's wasting time. Typical press/bench ratio is more like 60-70%, you should be able to take some 10lb jumps on bench at the very least.

No need to rush. The bench press will catch-up in time.
