using a 1RM calculator that is 441lbs that is between advanced and elite for my weight class, trying to get to 480 1RM to be "elite"
Going to give you some tough love....

First your form in this video is much better than the first. Second buy some chuck Taylor's to deadlift in and get out of your tennis shoes.

Third...(here it comes)....stop using a fictitious 1RM calculator and man up and pull the weight WITHOUT straps. If you truly want to work to being able to call yourself an elite deadlifter you have to ditch the straps because guess what? They don't allow straps in contests where you actually lift to achieve an elite status.
