Looking to start some deadlift powerlifting for 2 reasons.
1) bad lower back and would like to gradually strengthen it.
2) interested in another hobby, maybe compete in a competition one day. Just for fun really.
I found this on another site, is it any good?

Meh. Do you have a meet planned? Biggest thing would be to get your form down, then increase weight.
AND DON'T USE STRAPS!!!

Don't have a meet planned. Just looking to try something new. Thanks for the advice I'll work on my form. And no I would never use straps.

How often do you deadlift now?
-
Very rarely.

I guess some people like to overcomplicate things to hide a lack of progress
here's my secret that got me from about 400 to 705 in 2 years
Deadlift once a week for 1-2 set of 1-6 reps. Take steroids.
If I could do it again I'd probably not bother deadlifting at all as my lower back is a trainwreck but good luck.

Squats and good mornings will greatly increase your deadlift.

I personally am found of deadlifting twice a week, the first day being beltless for a ton of singles, with short rest periods. Think something like 15 singles, a minute rest between at 70-75% etc. The second day I pull for reps using a slight variation, usually a deflict dead, pause dead or against bands. Could use either a linear progress scheme or my personal favorite block periodization. That along with working on your core strength, grip strength and hamstrings will give you much more long term success than any cookie cutter 10 week program.

that is a peaking program...
vary rarely deadlifting... start with a dead lift program not a peaking program. you can peak something you vary rarely do.
1. learn correct form
2. train, dont test your max
3. buy a deadlift program or a powerlifting progrm (preferably) today and start it, probably the best advice on earth

If possible Train with people who can already lift the weights u would like to b lifting and u will learn. Training with people who r stronger than your self and who have been serious about it for long periods of time is the best way to get started. U said just for fun though? Most powerlifter I know r dead serious if u train for a comp it can b fun but also demanding your time and effort and full dedication to beat somebody who eats sleeps and dreams about picking up heavy shit. Good luck brother
