In a 1 rep max deadlift you want to maintain momentum (which is a function of mass and speed). The deadlift requires you to stand up and then move your hips forward. Even if you're moving slowly, momentum caused by your body will act against the bar.

The more you weigh, the more force you can generate. There's a reason why top strongmen are just plain big, as opposed to cut.

Ah yes, I was reading it terms of poor form, which is why I was confused.

Thanks for clarifying.
