This quote, though I don't recall the source applies here.
After seeing Mr. Miraglia lift what looks like 405, it's really difficult for me to completely buy that Hall did 505, unless it was Hex...but Hex is counted separately.

In the photo I saw he is using straps that go on his wrists and around the barbell. An impressive lift nonetheless but straps help a lot.
I’d like to see him go into CrossFit rather than focus only on powerlifting. It would probably be more fun too. -
ReAl powerlifting doesn't Allow straps. Only strong man does. The straps Allow you to Also start the lift 2" higher, aka double cheating

The deadlift is a test of all round strength, every part of you but the chest. What runner cares about a bench press? Ask any coach in any sport what they would prefer in an athlete, a good deadlift or a good bench press. -
The challenge is on! Even Hall calls out symmonds to join in!
