Should Deadlift being even with Squat be a concern if both are progressing?
Rip,
Given: My Deadlift and Squat for a single top set of 5 are even, sitting right at about 390, and both are continuing to progress.
My question is twofold:
1) Should it be a concern, that my Deadlift is not further ahead of my Squat?
2) What are the usual culprits that are factors contributing to this?
More information: I'm young, 5'10", and very evenly proportioned. I do not have a training partner to take form check videos, but I'm reasonably confident that I do squat below parallel. Without being able to see me do the lifts, I was hoping you could list several common and maybe even uncommon contributors to this, since is it my understanding that the Deadlift should generally be somewhat ahead of the Squat for evenly proportioned people.
In my search for the answer to this question on the Forums, I did not find an answer from a Starting Strength Coach that was very direct and informative. The couple of times I did find a question similar to this, the culprit was determined to be a matter of their body proportions.
Thank you sir,
Micah
