So my deadlift numbers have been going up fast, but my weakest part is getting it off the ground. Once I get it up though I can lock out easily, so my question is, is there a way to increase that part of the lift? Maybe by being on a platform or something?

I do my deads with a sumo stance, but not WAY wide just a few inches past shoulder width.

i think its called a 'halting' deadlift. or do rack pulls. why do you do sumo? are you short?

work more on squats.

yup its all legs from the ground bro. work your squats up and it will be a breeze.

when i did powerlifting in highschool there was only a 100lb diff in my squat to deads. big squat=big deadlifts

[MikeNYY420]

When you come off the ground (on deads) is that more glutes and hamstrings or quads? Or is it both.

[mitbar]

i always felt it more in my quads but its an all out leg motion push up then it transfers to your back to lock out and upright.
