I've been slowly improving my back squat & deadlifts. I dunno if this makes me a weirdo but right now they are both the same (about 1.2 x my body weight).

BADASS!

How similar your squats and deadlifts are seems to be One Of Those Things that varies wildly between individuals -- I suspect it's very dependent on body proportions.

(This theory allows me to blame my terrible squats on my femur-to-shin ratio, anyway. I have to have some excuse. *g*)
