When I say stronger in general I mean be stronger in the 3 main lifts. Maybe I wasn’t too clear about that. Should I use partial deadlifts to get my full range deadlift stronger? Also, what do you mean by partial deadlifts? Like, Romanian deadlifts where you only go to your shins? Or deadlifts from a deficit? I’m not sure I understand the idea of ‘partial’ deadlifts.[/quote]
Ah yeah, a stronger powerlifting total is a different goal entirely, haha.
I can’t say what you should do, but I find partials to be very helpful. By partials, I mean like a block/mat pull, pulling the deadlift from a partial range of motion by elevating the plates. In addition to this, it would be crucial to ensure your deadlift technique is dialed in the get the most out of your pull.
I made a video on how I deadlift that you may find helpful
