Squatting vs Deadlifting

Hi Peter. It is well documented how much of a deadlifting fanatic you are, in particular because of their pivotal role in allowing you to compete in the centenarian olympics. But how does squatting fit into this? Do you see squatting as a complement to deadlifting or a substitute? I’m especially interested in how you view squatting as an alternative to deadlifting in the context of safety (i.e. for the average joe could the risk/reward trade off be better for squatting vs deadlifting given potential for injury of the latter?) Thanks!

What are some important cues to look for while lifting weights?
