there is no magic ratio. everybody's body is different. how many times do you think as a navy seal you will be laying on your back pressing something off your chest?

You'd be surprised. But two main scenarios:
-Hand-to-hand combat (including scuffling on the ground)
-Climbing all kinds of shit

The emphasis here is less on ratio but what would help me with squats.

Well my ratios are:

1 : 1.12 : 1.51 (B : S : D)

No where near "ideal" as you put it but for some reason I seem to make gains more consistently with my upper body... which is odd but it's the way it is for me.

If I were you I would just train hard and take any gains you can make. If you're worried about being too big then eat at your mainteance level and train with low volume/high intensity. This will mostly focus your gains into strength gains and less size gains.
