Deadlifts Deweighted vs. Bounced

[youngguns]

What are the benefits of both?

What do you mean Bounced? Doing it touch n go without actually de-weighting it?

If you bounce them you will be like Ronnie. + 1 point.

They might kick you out of your gym for trying to break the floor, -1 point.

I think touch and go reps are better for muscle development. For powerlifting only the first one counts, but when I do nothing but singles I over train quickly.
I usually do 5 or failure - meaning I'll touch and go for 5 reps or untill the weight is to heavy for me to get all 5 reps. All keep adding weight untill I can only get 1 or 2 reps before total failure occurs.
Example from March 4th 2007:
145x5
235x5
325x5
415x3
505x1
Begin to use belt/suit/briefs/chalk/baby powder:
535x2
600x1.

Bouncing the weight allows you to rep with more weight obviously. They should be done deweighted, it is called a "DEAD"lift for a reason, the weight is lifted from a dead stop. Bouncing a bar off your chest when you bench allows for more weight too, but you wouldn't do that. Don't butcher a lift, do it the way it was meant to be done.

Ronnie is impressive as hell, he's a true freak show. I've seen his vids, while impressive, and while I don't advocate fitness geek form that will limit you to weenie weights eternally, Ronnie isn't somebody whose form you want to mimic.

I do them with a slight bounce in order to keep constant tension in my back. For BBing purposes, you generally want to try to keep the muscle constantly working.

Only times I've ever tweaked/injured the lower back is when bouncing the weights and getting a slight windmill effect, one side moving in, the other moving out, just slightly and putting uneven pressure on the ligaments.

I deweight each rep fully. Like T said, I don't bounce my squats or bench so I don't bounce my deads either.

I have read everything here, biggt I agree they are called deadlifts. However I believe with a bounce you can use more weight and thus will grow more muscle, I'm going to bounce, I;ve made my decision. 380x6 today.
