question for chaos regarding deads

[dj181]

Yes, that's it...  Starting from static over and over is much harder for me.  Any good techniques for gaining strength at the bottom of the movement?

nope, standing on a 4-6 inch platform is the best method for that, as it increases the range of motion, but be damn sure and keep your form tight if you there platform deads

[WOOO]

that's one method, you can also use dumbbell deadlifts from just over the toes (you have to get your whole body lower and it focuses on the hip-hinge part of the motion)... you can also deadlift in a rack with the safety bars set above the barbell at the knee level... this will isolate the bottom part of the movement

Platform/deficit deads never really helped me, though I never did them consistently for any period of time. Setting the pins in the cage and lifting up to them helped explosiveness but noisy as hell. I think cleans actually also helped quite a bit.

Good luck!

i agree about the noise... but found value in the movement

cleans should be part of any training routine IMO regardless of goals...

It's called genetics, huge Viking joints/bone structure.
