how it is possible that my deadlift is a lot heavier than my squat?
my deadlift is 210-220 lbs and my squat is 150

Take a look at this thread:
Most guys seem to be squatting anywhere from 70ish to 90ish% of their deadlift. You’re right around 70%, so I’d say you’re spot-on normal. Plus you’re still a beginner, so don’t sweat it.
For a more specific “why”, as I said, it’s totally normal to dead more than you squat, but it can depend a little bit on your structure (height, weight, general fat level, etc.). But to super-oversimplify it, the deadlift is almost-always a much shorter range of motion than a squat. That alone will be a significant factor in using more weight.[/quote]
Thanks, Chris - I knew there was a topic on this somewhere on this site…
