Deadlifts Deweighted vs. Bounced

[Protobuilder]

I'd second the rack pull idea. If you're looking to load up the weight on the back, and take some of the leg work out of it, do heavy ass rack pulls w/ the weight just below your knees.

i'm sure bouncing builds muscles too--bouncing a bench still requires muscle to lock it out--but what's teh point? Just do a damn partial and load up the weight.

I agree with you guys. What you are saying makes perfect sense. IMO the extra weight I can use when I bounce is beneficial. I made this thread to ask for opinions, opinions I got, thank you very much for them. I know how I have grown from bouncing, so I think I will stick to that, thanks again guys. You can keep posting some things if you want, I'm up for the discussion.

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).

I reread that, and I disagree with the first statement, it's not comparable to those.

dude... if you wanna be a pro bber, someday (hopefully not too much into the future) you will have to increase 380 to 500+... i'm not sure if you could successfully bounce 500+.... well if you can, i'm sure your gym is going to boot you out!

Well we have rubber plates and rubber matts.. its not that bad.

The problem I see with bouncing, or even touch and go, is that it's kind of difficult to position yourself for a proper pull. It takes me a couple of seconds to line everything back up properly before the next rep.

Take it easy there young'un, just throwing a joke out here and there to ease some of this latent tension from all the AAS around here.

Always deweight it before each rep/

De-weight... it's the proper form. Watch any world's strongest man competitons and watch them DL. They do it because it's the right way. And they're in a powerlifting competion because you need REAL power to deadlift the right way, not the bouncy and whimpy way.
