Deadlift reps question

[dcjoey]

Hey for everyone with deadlifts in their routine, do you pause between reps with the weight on the floor or just bang 'em out.

Reason I ask is on several sites I've read to rest a second to regain form and then continue with each rep.

I completely reset the weight on the ground so I have no tension on the bar, then often I put my hips up, then down again to sort of "reset" my form, it is an accepted way of doing things, so if you need to do it that way, it is ok.

50/50

I've seen lots of people let the weight rest on the floor with a second and i've seen others just let it tap the floor but they don't fully deload.

Sometimes i rest all the way, sometimes i don't

if you dont rest the weight on the floor,its not a deadlift,you lift it from a dead weight thats where the name comes from.
if you dont stop then its a bulgarian or straight-leg deadlift.

Hmm thanks for the input, I think I'm going to fully deload as Karky mentioned.. would at least help me with my form.

Personally, I let it touch the floor then rep again.

Got my own PR for deadlifts today, 108kg! or 238lbs
Quite happy with myself!

I kind of touch and go.

Bulgarian and straight-leg deads are totally different so we'll have to invent a new word if those aren't deads

that's awesome! Pulling some good weight now!

deadlifts that aren't dead are livelifts.

you dont need to thats why they put bulgarian/straight leg before,because they are a variation of the deadlift,the deadlift is as it says a lift from dead DEADlift

I touch and go, sometime pausing to dry my hands as they tear a lot if they're sweaty

 

[theGOOCH]

I kind of like "livelifts"

 

[Big_Idiot]

Depends how heavy it is also. Touch n go with like 8 reps +

I do what karky does. During the first 8 weeks of my workout, I was doing them wrong by doing it from the air and/or slighty touching the ground (getting the bar from the rack before and after each set). After I realized that it was not a deadlift, I changed my form and got help from the guy that works at the gym at school. I was able to pick up the good form right away (what he told me) and I defiantly felt the right muscles working.

A deadlift is when you lift the bar from the floor (first with your legs, and then your back) and stand all the way up, and then reverse your way back down and relax your muscles for a few seconds (between 1-5 seconds is usual depending on what weight and reps you are using), then go to the next rep.
