I have the same problem, seems if I can get it just a millimeter off the ground I will lock it out, its just getting that first millimeter thats hard lolBoss101 said:
I added speed deads which definitely helped and I'm also going to be adding deadlifts off a 2" platform which I also think will help the beginning of my pull....might be something to try.

Stop deadlifting and do something else. Focus on GM's, pullthroughs, lat work, core work, and back squats. Then pull again in a month or so and see what happens.

Good advice.
When you plateau, it's most likely time for a change.
I love rack pulls for increasing deads. I do them at upper shin level, not knee level though. I do them more often then I do full deads, and have been making crazy progression on them. Also like to do deadlifts with the bar behind the legs (hack lifts, beast lifts, whatever you want to call them). I do partials on these as well. Hope that helps

I am going to go a different route than everybody else. You say you can't get past three reps. If you're doing a three rep max and failing that is some heavy weight. And if you're failing adding even just 5 lbs is too much. You need to get some little plates. You need to cycle your training as I outlined in my guide, you could simply be burned out and need rest before you tackle a new max.
Not always a bad thing...I guess I love the controversy you stir up..."pass the popcorn!"
