I was wanting to know if anyone knows of some good articles about proper deadlifts and how to get the big numbers. Something like Dave Tate's article on benching. Also the same type of thing for squats would be great.
Don't forget to work on technique. The deadlift is probably the least technical of the 3 powerlifts, but that doesn't mean you can't add weight on the bar by refining your technique.

Thats more what I was looking for Cow. I wanted to know all the little secrets to a big Deadlift. Making sure my form is tweeked the right ways. Did the same for Squat and Bench and am seeing some inprovements. Funny how a little change can make all the difference. The T-Nation and Westside articles were perfect for this.
