The deadlift, in my opinion, is the most serious of the three competition lifts: It often has the highest payoff in terms of pounds lifted—there are a few notable exceptions to this rule—and because of that, it's well worth your time to find your strongest set-up.
As my co-coach and lifting pard, Jen Sinkler, says, "No matter what weight is on the bar, pretend you're lifting a million pounds. You'd brace for that shit, right?"

I've never met a single lifter who didn't want a big deadlift, and implementing the two tips in this video will help get you there safely.
One additional tip not stated in the video: Many people have no idea what their deadlift set-up looks like, and it may feel like you're already implementing these tips. It's extremely helpful to film your deadlift from start to finish to see what you've got going on so you can adjust what may need adjusting.
