Support exercises for deadlift

[BraedenB]

Hey everyone,

Been working on my squat/deadlift lately, I find I can really only get stronger on 2 out of the 3 main lifts at a time I don't know why but anyways I find my deadlift is weakest at the bottom, once I get it off the ground it's usually a good lift. What would you all recommend to aid in the bottom of my deadlift?
Note: I perform my deadlifts sumo style as they are most comfortable that way for me
Currently been doing lots of triples and 5s on my deadlift. My max triple was 500 pounds for 3 but I changed my stance up and have been having a hard time pushing passed the 475 ish area for 3. Any help would be appreciated.

Ah I love that guy, I've tried doing a lot of what he says but I'm just always open to more suggestions. He helped me fix my shoulder pain with his stretching and warming up routines

I like deficit still leg deadlifts really trying to squeeze my gluteus and hammies. Then straight arm cable pull downs to develop back strength since your arms will be straight like they are during the deadlift.

I'm a conventional puller but front squats have helped my deadlift more than anything. I was stuck at 500 forever started hitting front squats on a regular basis and deadlift started to move again....about 85 pounds in 6 months. A little test and Deca didn't hurt either lol.

It sounds to me like you need to work on lower back strength. Start hitting more lower back exercises, stiff legged deadlifts, bent over rows, etc.

If you can pull sumo better, that tells me that your leg strength is there, but the back needs to come up a bit. That's my best suggestion
