Almost impossible to cheat on this lift. If the bar is moving from ground to shoulders you are doing it good enough. Add weight until you can not rack it. It is a whole body lift. Up the weight and...

In addition to deads and really heavy shrugs, try Oly lifts and high pulls.

I work legs most days and often dead and squat (some variation of each) on the same day.

To reiterate everyone else, yes. Also overhead press. Don't ignore back and legs, must build all around strength.

Assisted pull ups - some gyms have a machine or get someone to hold your feet

Negatives - get a box if needed, start in the top position and hold for as long as you can, repeat. Add weight if...

Everyday?

Maybe not max deads but some variation or related lift like snatch, clean, sldl, bent rows, etc.

No use for them. Full range every time. Also why anything less than ATG squat is worthless.

Also consider: hypers, sldl, good mornings, hip thrusts

This. In fact, I always train with wrist wraps. While not needed most of the time, it is nice to have a little insurance to prevent a wrist sprain and loss of a few days lifting.

As others said, increase the weight gradually. Once you get use to it you will be able to hold far more than you can lift. At this point, train with straps and save hook grip for occasional max...

Neck harness dead lifts. I also like to connect it to the pulleys in the gym and work all directions.

Do you dead lift?

Dips and OHP do not require a spotter...can easily do negatives without spotter...just saying...

Seems like a small price to pay...

People can and do squat every day.

Someone somewhere sometime in the distant past said don't do something that most people didn't want to do (squat everyday). Peopled liked hearing they were...

Problem is lack of heavy deads, heavy bent barbell rows, cleans, snatch, good mornings...

Do these before arm specific lifts and go heavy. Cheat if you have to but go heavy. Then work arms. The...

On non-back squat days do front squats for heavy singles building up to max, back off and do heavy doubles increasing weight 5 or 10 lbs each set. This will really work the core and not drain your...

Another mention for weighted dips. These are one of the best triceps excersises.

I use hook grip for only lifts. I have hook gripped over 400lbs no issue. Because the hook grip is so efficient and will hold more than I can lift, I've gone back to using snatch straps for most...
