Squat Lagging Behind Deadlift

Other Discussions Training Discussion
1

My training max squat (355 lb.) is only 69% of my training max deadlift (515 lb.), and I’d like to make a concerted effort to improve my squat 1RM. Greg Nuckols wrote an article about this a while back:

I know the first answer from the BBM canon would be: squat more. And I’ve done that for quite a while. So I’d be really interested to hear from other lifters who have taken a squat that lagged behind the deadlift and improved that in some way. How’d you do it?

Cheers.

What does your current programming look like squat-wise?

If you’re not squatting three times per week now, you should start with that.
