So you're dead is 20kg more than your squat. Your initial post suggested the opposite (15kg less). 160sq/180dl is still a bit close but not hugely abnormal. When I pulled a comp 180 my dl 5RM was 160kg, my squat 5rm was 130 and raw squat 1RM was 147.5kg. But I'm not much of a natural squatter. FWIW there's no why it's your knee. Squats are harder on your meniscus than deadlifts due to ROM.
I should have said my best ever PR before I broke a whole bunch of bones...
My DL is 120kg for 5 reps at the moment. Anyway, I know how to get it back higher, just got to slightly alter my training. I wasn't looking for help.
As for my post it was a suggestion for Oni to look into Deficit DL and Snatch DL.
Oni, no, I'm not asian. Far from it, but I have loads of broken bones in my body which were impossible to set properly etc... as you can imagine it effects training a fair bit.
