some good deadlift tips:

dont train deads weekly.
train rack pulls at variable heights
train GMs... Good Mornings
train reverse hypers
practice speed deads.
do NOT do a lot of sets when working up to a PR.


there are tons of other tips .....just ask around.

Good work. If you have 4 weeks left until your meet, I would recommend pulling only moderately heavy next week for triples. So based on a 375 max I would say anywhere from 325-345 for sets of 3. The week after that do some sort of deadlift variation such as good mornings or rack pulls, then take the following week off from deads altogether before your meet.

What are your goal lifts for your meet?
