Update from my last post. The commitment I made to be patient with warming up and PRACTICE technique. It's been a week to get my head together; and I've been obsessing and going over how my technique should look versus my current form. I know what to do but as the saying goes, "it's easier said than done."
In this case, I probably warmed up too much because by the time I was on my last reps of singles, I was burnt out. Did my wall squats. Light RDLs. Stretches.
Started with 135 on the bar. Did triples and kept working on form until it was second nature, at least for today as a start. Once I felt good, I added weight. And kept going.
I felt good. Tired, but good. Knowing I needed the confidence back, I worked up to 80% for singles.
Obviously this is one day. And the supplemental movements I'm doing and sharing with you are only helping with things I need to work on. Doing wall squats will not help you add 50lbs to your deadlift. It is not the only thing you need to do to fix your form. But it helps with the overall picture, for me. Deadlifting will get you better at deadlifts. It's just a matter of what is necessary in your particular training cycle.
Deads off blocks. Deficits. Conventional. Deadlifting once a month. Chair deads. There are so many variations. And even more when it comes to supplemental work.
Last weeks deads:

Positioning improved. I was more patient. So it's just a matter maintaining tightness and form whether I have 135 or 400 on the bar.
