Why is my deadlift stronger than my squat?

There are several reasons why your deadlift may be stronger than your squat. One common reason is that the deadlift primarily targets the posterior chain muscles, such as the hamstrings and glutes, which are typically stronger in many individuals compared to the muscles used in the squat, such as the quadriceps and core muscles. Additionally, individual biomechanics, technique, and training history can also play a role in the strength discrepancy between the two lifts.
