I think he is asking if you are doing full squats. arse to grass...lower than parallel. 

If you aren't squatting deep you aren't developing the drive you need for DLs.

1/2 squats allow a lot more weight. I can 1/2 squat more than I can deadlift, but my full squat is 100+ LB behind my dead.

I love videoing because your body will lie to you about depth, etc. It could be simply that your squat is high and that allows more weight. There's no way to be really sure without video.

If it's not depth, it could be technique (as stated). This is another reason I love video, it will show technical flaws.

Then it could be mental. The only solution here is to go harder.

Final answer is really just proportions and build. If you have the strength, technique and mental aspect locked in, you may be the rare guy who is super well built for squats vs deads.
