What do you all think is the best exercise to strengthen a conventional deadlift’s lockout?

I have a couple months until my next meet, and I have a very large disparity between speed off the floor and the last 4 inches or so of my deadlift after passing the knee. I feel like I could probably add 20kg or so by addressing my weakness at the lockout so I’m really interested in seeing what folks think could help and working them into my program.

How much front squatting do you do?
I the past a lot, worked up to a 405 front squat.

In the past few years, very little. Maybe 6 months ago or so I worked up to 315x5 but that’s about it.

Haven’t worked them hard in a good while, since I did CrossFit actually. Sin word I know lol.

I'm uncertain on that, we didn't have or use one.

We always talked about if we were to get one it would be old school lying on the floor type.
It was by accident that I found this. It helped me, but wasn’t sure if this was a common use or not.
