"The best thing for a better deadlift will be to deadlift. More than any other lift, force production is paramount and it's a skill that needs to be practiced."
Well said, and absolutely agree that doing that very lift, will be most beneficial. At least from my experiences I believe one has to pay their dues on that lift. Take your time, learn it well and slowly overtime, work it again and again and again.
I am more built for deadlifting, so I have had good results with heavy deadlfiting first and foremost, but I can also say, 2" deficit deadlfts, RDL's, squatting, middish shin rack pulls, have been keys and quite beneficial in upping my conventional pull.
TB deads are okay, maybe a bit more user friendly for some low back sketchy-ness, but the carryover was off a bit on my conventional max pull to my TB max. I have not used it in some time now.
