About that deadlift, I think that most folks who do the program themselves (without coaching) start off too light on the deadlift relative to the squat, and that continues through their NLP. I know that I did the first (and second, and third) time that I did it. Last year was the first time I got it right and peaked at a 41kg differential before the squat started slowly catching up to the deadlift. You have a couple of options to get that deadlift further from your squat, but you're already comfortable with how you're doing it, so keep at it!
