Problem with deads is a lot of people do touch and go. Their form is good for the first rep or two, but by the 3rd/4th/5th.. your brain is only focused on "lift the weight up, put it down". Try doing deadlift with resets on every rep. A little harder, but much safer and no cheating (no dropping the weight and using its bounce to get the second rep).
And kevin, stick to one thing and keep doing it and you'll see results. I've talked to you about cross fit, 5x5, and bb-ing routines in the past month
