    Snatch grip deadlift to back squat ratio

    I was wondering what is everybody's snatch grip deadlift to back squat ratio? Are you squatting more or snatch grip pulling more? As these lifts involve many of the same muscles, I believe that its a valid comparison.

    I maxed out today and hit 210kg on the snatch grip deadlift, while at the same time my best back squat (high bar, ATG) is only 170kg. That gives a 124% SNDL:Back squat ratio

    I was watching videos of some professional weightlifters and the ones I've been able to find are:
    * Igor Lukaning: 300 kg snatch grip deadlift to a 330kg back squat so 91%
    * Mart Seim: 300kg snatch grip deadlift to a 350kg back squat so 86%

    Basically somehow these guys have squats far ahead of their pulls while as with me its the other way around.

    How about you?

    I was wondering what could be the cause of this and what could I do to maximize my squat numbers as that has more carryover to weightlifting than a strong pull in my opinion.
    Strength + Speed = Power

    If you never fail, you aren't truly pushing yourself to the limit. If you never push yourself to the limit, how do you know what you're truly capable of?

    My best back squat is only 155kg and my best SGDL is less than that at about 130'ish (never maxed it out).

    Squat more
    Back when I had semi decent lifts my snatch grip dl was 40kg more than my squat too. It makes sense that when you get to the kind of weights guys like mart seim are pulling, your snatch grip dl is more limited by your upper/mid back than legs.
