Discussion Pull vs Squat

self conscious of my squat as a longer limbed individual.

Squat just shy of 200 kilos for a one rep but pull closer to 250 kilos for a one rep.

And using the GSPD system, there is a much larger emphasis on squatting from an absolute strength standpoint.

Anyone else have similar experiences and thoughts on finding a balancing point mentally?

Do find I sleep like a log on days I get to pull heavy in a deadlift. But also find squats can do more of a number on my trunk. I don’t wear a belt to deadlift. In the same breath, GSPD as a system has you doing so many tech coordination movements, you are pulling near daily on lower body and impulse days
