Mark VanAlstyne is a powerlifter with recorded competition history going back many years, and his profile is listed on the results database OpenPowerlifting.

VanAlstne's best recorded lifts include a deadlift of 281.2 kg (≈ 619 lb), with a total (squat + bench + deadlift) of 839.1 kg.

He used a three‑week rotation (similar to what lifters often call a “wave” or “cycle” system), alternating emphasis between different stimulus types not just heavy singles every week

This workout was republished Feb/2011 from POWERLIFTINGUSA.

VanAlstyne admits he wasn’t a “born deadlifter.” His strategies target common deadlift sticking points (hip lockout, glutes, posterior chain), which are often neglected in typical “lift heavy or go home” routines.
