Two articles by Eric Cressey and Mike Robertson dealing with squats and other exercises and how they differ for different people. I remember a post a while back and thinking that this was a relevant article, but at the time I could not locate these articles... well, now I can't locate that post but surely someone will find this interesting still.

Conclusion from part 1 of the articles:
Okay, so most of us have bad levers in one of the lifting disciplines. If you're a squatter/bencher, you'll have more trouble deadlifting. Conversely, if you're a deadlifter, squatting and benching will be tougher for you. So let's examine how we can train these lifts in a scientific fashion to put consistent pounds on your total.
