How to increase my deadlift max

Increasing your deadlift max is an achievable goal, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced lifter. Here are some strategies to help you get there:

Technique Matters: Dial in your deadlift technique. Choose between conventional and sumo stances based on your strength and comfort. Focus on weak portions of your range of motion and start with good hip and shoulder positions

Training Programming: A sensible training program is crucial. Consider factors like frequency, volume, intensity, and accessory exercises. Avoid pushing yourself to absolute fatigue; find the right balance

Progressive Overload: Gradually increase the weight you lift. Add small amounts regularly to challenge your muscles and improve strength

Variations: Try different deadlift variations with varying grips and stances. This helps target different muscle groups and reinforces good form

Consistency: Train frequently and consistently. Repetition with proper form builds strength and reinforces neural adaptations

Remember, everyone progresses differently. Some may gain 100 pounds on their deadlift in as little as 4 to 8 months, while others may take over a year.
