The balance of your deadlift to your back squat is key.

Your back squat should be about 80% of your deadlift.

Why does this matter?

Because we have a client right now who continues to experience back pain and is nervous to move because of this imbalance. Your posterior chain are the muscles on the backside of your body including the glutes, hamstrings, calves, erectors, lats, and rear shoulder muscles. If your quads are stronger than your posterior chain then in movements that should recruit these primary movers default to the quads bad things happen!
