      Deadlift and squat is quite difficult for that reason. There is a perfect deadlift for the most average human. But the difficult part is being able to adapt to your own body. a lot of the best powerlifters and strongmen in the world have really really bad squat and deadlift if you compare it to what a squat or deadlift "should be". But it's still perfect for them (look up lya bavoil squat which is world record). All in all even for what mitch said to reapers take it with a grain of salt, Try and try again until a position feels 100% natural for your body while following the basic principal of deadlifting

    For the deadlift I think Chris jones taught it best to me back in the day. Bend over and grab the bar kind of squatting like gym reaper is initially, and then just keep lifting your hips from there until you feel your hamstrings start to get tight, and that’s where you want to pull from. It’s like the same concept as getting tight and compact in the bench but instead of it being your back and shoulders it’s about your back and hamstrings.

      He’s a static lifter mate. He would gas out very quickly

    I really hope you see this, at 15:46 when your talking about the second rep being easier because your not worrying about the initial brace, would you ever try something like putting 505 on high blocks, lifting it off the block and having people remove the blocks and then go for a rep, lowering it to the ground and lifting it, almost like a “second rep”. Like you said that second rep is easier so I wonder if you would be able to get 505 by setting up this way.

      That wouldn't work since he isn't strong enough to dl 505 without a suit. Nobody is. The suit basically lifts the weight for you at the bottom.

      @ that’s my point, when deadlifting the second rep is so much easier, so I wonder if recreating the “second rep” without having to do the first would help him pull it

    My first rep in my deadlift is always a grind. The next like 5 reps are butter.

      Do an over weighted ( 5lb over your working set) 3 rep warmup after your normal warmup. Thank me later
