My deadlift has been awful from day one. The first time I deadlifted I did 365 (150 lbs) easily. Many years later my max is about 495 (210). One week to the next it varies greatly, one week 495 isnt too bad, the next week 405 feels like hell.
My training for deadlift has been very sporadic, ...or very regular (every week)...
My training has usually been a couple of sets from 1-12 reps. I have also done rack deadlifts (which I think are a waste) My weakness is not the lockout but the start. I have done stiff legg dealifts with heavy wts...and it has NOT transferred over much at all.
Any ideas?
I think Im gonna experiment with lower reps only, as in 1-5 reps, and deadlifting every other week, and keeping all the reps explosive,...in the past I have done way too much deadlifting to failure to or close to it...
