OP, I just deadlifted 500x3 two weeks ago, which was a PR. At my last meet I deadlifted 570 with more in the tank. I think that’s just the nature of the deadlift, especially with dead stop reps.[/quote]
This is honestly why I like touch and go so much. I’ll try to combine the two, and rest pause my touch and go sets, such that I’ll end up pulling dead off the floor 3 times while totaling 7-14 reps. You only seem to have so much gas for breaking a dead weight, with so much more potential for strength later in the movement.[/quote]
This philosophy is starting to grow more and more on me

x2. Also agreed on the demonstrator vs builder argument. I perform high volume squat workouts and low volume deadlift workouts. It makes sense in terms of recovery, neural fatigue, and long term progress. If I have to skip a workout in a given week, it’s always the deadlift.

Ya, me too.

You mentioned building the deadlift without deadlifting, can you expand on that? I’m sure you have in the past, if you point me to a thread that’s much appreciated as well.

I deadlift once every 2 months. The rest of the time, I perform mat pulls using range of motion progression. I detailed how I set it up here
The most valuable supplemental work I have found for the dead include safety squat bar squats with chains, reverse hypers and heavy ab work. The safety squat bar is really just a deadlift in squat form, and will build everything needed for a strong dead. The reverse hyper is an awesome piece of equipment and does a great job hammering the lower back.
Also, kettlebell swings are a great way to reinforce the hip hinge movement.

interesting, mind sharing what you do to increase your deadlift? accessory lifts and such and how many times you pull heavy?[/quote]
Sorry for skipping this post. I don’t always get the T-Nation updates in order.
The stuff I posted to USMC pretty much covers it. I stole a lot from 5/3/1, and to build squat, bench, deadlift and press, with each movement getting it’s own day, so I have a “deadlift day” once a week.
