How can you bring up your dead lift?

Answer 1

Basically, by training the deadlift. The deadlift is not really an exercise best suited to high reps, though it can be done for reps occasionally. In order to increase the maximum - train with lighter weights - approximately 50-60% of best and aim for very fast, explosive lifts. Sets of more than 3-5 reps are probably not worthwhile. Mix up, low reps - light weights done fast - with heavier weights done for only singles and doubles and attemtping to increase the maximum poundage. By doing both types of training, the muscles used get used to going fast - as heavy weights inevitably mean slow reps, it is necessary to also train fast to ensure the production of maximum power output. In addition, partial lifts - with the height of the bar, higher than normal, may also improve pulling power because greater weights can be used, the closer to standing the athlete is - some deadlifters find this very effective even though the first few inches of a deadlift are not trained - others less so. If there is carry over, this can quickly improve power to lockout due to the extra weight used.
