What are these other ways? I'm thinking my gym most likely won't have them, and I have next to no money to spend these days. [/quote]Haha, sorry to leave you hanging. I didn't realize that I didn't add any other methods. Two good ways are speed pulls with around 60% of your max. Just do like 10 singles as fast as possible. Or isometric holds at the bottom position. Load up somewhere around 85% of max (thats a loose figure, there is going to be some trial) in a rack and lower it to right where you sticking point is and hold for around 6-8 seconds.
Another thing to consider is to deadlift heavy less. Its a big strain on the CNS, more so than heavy squats or bench press, so if you do more speed pulls to keep for and be explosive and then use things like good mornings, RDLs, and other hamstring exercises to gain strenght in the hammies you might see huge improvement.
Danny [/quote]Great stuff. Thanks man. I'm actually doing Limping now, which has no heavy lifting, but plenty of single-leg ham/glute work. I may very well do that speed pull idea when I'm finished, before I start into the single-rep training in November!
