Spreads between lifts
Hello mr. Rippetoe,
So my question is in reguards to something I've heard you talk about on your podcasts, and primarily I hear it in reference to the squat and deadlift, and thats the spread between the wieghts of the two lifts. Is there a ratio between them that those doing the program should be mindful of? Or are the instances I hear you and your co-hosts talk about more of a case by case sort of thing? In example my numbers are sq 260 and dl 345 so a 85lb difference (nothing spectacular but its where I'm at currently at a bw of 315). Had to attempt 345 over two workouts also, but feel like I can keep pushing myself higher 3x a week. I'm sure I'm either big dealing or overthinking this but just wanted your input.
Thanks,
Mike Z.

Gotcha thanks Mark, like I said figured I was big dealing or over thinking it.
