I don't understand how squat depth matters with DL. If you are deadlifting, you aren't going past parallel and squatting the weight up. You are more in a 1/2 squat form anyway. It's about starting position and keeping tight. Pushing the floor away and shooting the glutes forward.

His question was about why his dead # is proportionally smaller compared to most people's dead vs squat.
What I'm saying is that his ratio could be skewed if he's half squatting and his squat number is higher than other people squatting to depth would be. If his dead is 275x3, his half squat is 300x3 and his full squat is 225x3, his ratio isn't really different, his squat is just artificially inflated based on depth.
Half squat is also Tug Speedman's son's name. It offers a different effect bc you can use stretch reflex. Pin squats from your DL start are different bc they eliminate stretch reflex. They can be really productive.
My main point wasn't about the training effect of squats, though. It was the degree to which a half squat will change your dead/squat ratio to be misleading when viewed vs the ratio of a full squatter
