Here are a few max effort variations that work well for the deadlift:
Mini-band resisted deadlifts- Deadlifts with
bands - Snatch grip deadlifts
- Sumo or conventional deadlifts (the opposite of what you would
use in competition) - Rack pulls
- Deadlifts standing on plates or boards
- If you’re feeling good, belt up and go for a heavy single.
- If you’re not feeling good, go ahead and belt up but work more
in the 90–95% range. Two to three singles should be fine here.
In the third and fourth weeks, you’ll switch it up and use a
different movement. I generally cycle 3–4 different max effort movements
over the course of a training cycle. I then start over from the
beginning. The obvious goal here is to hit a new PR each time you go
back to a specific exercise.
