Deadlifts

[Cobin]

When you deadlift do you let the weight touch the ground each time, thats what I been doing , touching ground=lifting deadweight. How does everyone else do it?

 

[SofaGeorge]

I let it kiss the ground.

If im doing reps (rare usually singles) i reset the weight....to ensure i am using correct form...if you are going (truly) heavy....you want to have good form on your side

 

[Thaibox]

I think it depends what you're deadlifting for. If you're doing it for power, I would reset everytime. This also helps your launch since you're essentially pulling a full-range one rep everytime.

I agree with Thaibox. (Imagine that)

ouch

 

[spatts]

I meant that in a "what's new" way...i tend to like your replies.

 

[Thaibox]

ah, phew..life is good again

 

[spatts]

Do I smell sarcasm?

 

[Thaibox]

No definately not, you're one of the few I hold in high admiration here. Any female able to outlift most big guys, not to mention have more knowledge(as well as remain very cool) deserves respect. Therefore, your recognition is appreciated.

Okay, enough pats for Spatts, my fiancee might read this and get the wrong idea

 

[Lord_Suston]

Let it touch and then restet posture and proceed as quickly as possible to the next rep. The reason is obvious, good form.....

Nice...we gotta use this for something.

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

I let it kiss the ground.

on high rep sets I let it kiss the ground. low rep I reset every time. Want my form to be tight on those heavy sets

Dreading the high rep sets next weekend at nationals

No time to reset or even kiss...I'll probably shoot for a solid bounce
