I started doing a Rippetoes program and I am 7 weeks in, my deadlift is on 50kg and my squat is going 110kg. I know my back has been my weak point… but THIS weak?! Just been doing the 1x5 at the end of workout 1.
what’s your 1RM on the good morning?
how deep are your squats?
I don;t understand how someone who can squat 240 even to parallel can only DL 110. Poor grip strength?
And you need to have back strength to hold the bar while squatting so are you sure youre squatting to parallel?

i call half squats. there’s no way a proper 110kg squat will get you a 50kg deadlift

Sounds more like quarter squats to me, or his squat is in pounds, or he’s squatting his deadlift up. I mean how will a back that can pull only 50kg support 110kg in a big ROM?
No, my coach has watched me doing my 5rm and he said it was fine. I go to parallel but no deeper, and yes my deadlifts are afterhaving done 3x5 squats. I will try to record all of my sets and then my deads and then link it so you can get a better idea. Maybe my lower back is just alot less conditioned.
most coaches advocate 90’(angle of the knee does NOT equal top of thighs parrallel to the floor), and to many on T-Nation, that equates to about 1/2 a squat…so it works out really
Ok I have dropped 15kg and am now going down to my ass 3 inches from the floor. I will see how it makes a difference.
If you squat twice your deadlift then you are the douchebag I saw doing box squats of a 30 inch box.

Alternate your squat and deadlift days. If you want to do both the same day, do Back Squats and Romanian Deadlifts one workout, do Front Squats followed by Conventional Deadlifts the other. That way you are actually balancing your quads and hamstrings.
how is that even possible? what are you resting like 30 seconds between sets so your so tired you have to go super light by the time your on deadlifts?
also how old are you and how much do you weigh? cause 110 pounds seems really low. the average girl can deadlift that. hows your form? something has to be wrong cause that difference in your lifts is ridiculous
im 17 at 150 pounds, sorry give me another week I still need to get my hands on a camera and I will show you what I am doing. What should the ratio be anyway?
Damn it, my supervisor doesnt even know what a Pendley Row is, I will make a vid of my form for that too, if you wouldnt mind. I want to make sure my form is correct for everything now, it’s embarrasing because I didnt know that I was only doing 1/2 squats originally… :S
Are you following the 1 gallon of milk per day that Rippetoe recommends while doing his program?
squat and deadlift numbers are usually pretty close with the deadlift being a bit higher
