If you want to get better at deadlifting you need to either get stronger with the deadlift or use movements that are closely related to the deadlift. IMO
and again this all my opinion.
Stuff like RDL's, and speed deads make way more sense and are more effective in getting better at the deadlift.
Way better than power cleans.
BUT ZOMG PAT THATS NOT WHAT RIP SAYS. Dont care.
