Thanks. I've always gotten stuck around 405 and as I said I've finally just committed to getting stronger. 445 was pretty close, got it moving but I felt my back rounding so I let it go, no reason to grind it out. But yeah I feel like 500 is definitely within reach as long as I'm consistent and avoid injury, hopefully within a year.Those are impressive numbers man
Specifically in re deadlift I recommend the following assistance work: single leg Romanian deadlifts (best dl assistance movement I think), good mornings, heavy kettlebell swings. I don't do bent over rows etc but I do row quite a bit for Crossfit/Filly style metcons, and I'm doing a lot of pulling with the Oly stuff as well.
