Deadlifts Deweighted vs. Bounced

[Protobuilder]

I'm going to bounce, I;ve made my decision. 380x6 today.

380, subtract the bounce, 40 . . . 340x6.

I have read everything here.... However I believe with a bounce you can use more weight and thus will grow more muscle

I have a 500lb bouncy ball I will sell you. Bounce it a few times per day and watch your muscles grow like never before!

I don''t use a belt or staps you ****, and I did 375x6 deweighted each time, jelous people up in here wow.

But at 19 I couldn't deadlift my ass off the couch and away from my bong, so props given - thats a respectable DL....for now....

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.

Didn't see this coming.

Instead of subtracting poundage like others have been doing, I'm going to leave it at 380 and congratulate you on your rack pull PR, since that's what you're turning the movement into by taking the bottom portion out of it.

I suppose but more weight = more muscle growth right?

Not if you're not doing any of the work. Think about the gym douches who "bench" 315 with three "spotters" or quarter-squat 405 but never grow. Effective (meaning you doing the work) ROM is important, and you're losing out on a decent amount of it by bouncing through the bottom portion of the lift.

If you want to develop strength (and the muscles that are used) at the top of the deadlift, do rack pulls and/or power shrugs. If you want to develop power off the floor and take very heavy weights through a full range of motion, which stimulates a shitload of growth, do deadlifts (meaning, as said before, the bar starting "dead" on each rep).
