When you reset after every rep, you completely lose any aid from muscle elasticity* and the stretch reflex**.Īdvantages & Disadvantage of the Dead-Stop Maintain Tension Disadvantage: The most fatiguing style of the deadlift.Advantage: Trains speed off the floor better, because the weight completely settles on the floor after every rep.Advantage: Trains set-up technique better, because you have to reset your starting position and generate tension in your body before every rep.Advantage(s) and Disadvantage(s) of the Different StylesĪdvantages & Disadvantage of the Dead-Stop Reset Tension When deciding on what style to use, you have to examine what aspects of the deadlift you are specifically challenging by using one style or another. In the long-term perspective of strength programming, I believe that both styles of the deadlift should be utilized. And here’s the thing - if you are one of the people who train hard and smart, you won’t get weaker.When people claim that there is a best style of deadlifting, my question is, “best for what?” In this article I assert that there is no “best” style of deadlifting, but rather there are styles of deadlifting that are better suited for developing specific kinds of strength. Many strong people do it both ways so my advice is to experiment and use the way that helps you increase your DL. I will never criticize a man that can deadlift, touch and go, 800 for multiple reps.
People like to qualify deadlifts and squats but at the end of the day, strong people lift big weights. If your form gets shitty using one kind, don’t do it. I think I get asked this a million times per week - for most strong lifters, it doesn’t matter.
I noticed that you Jim also doing touch and go, that’s why I am asking about.
Is that good method for build strength and muscle? Or maybe it’s worse than dead stop. For some time I am doing only dead stop but I think about back to touch and go. For example my last record was about 3 x 370 lbs with dead stop and 3 x 400 lbs with touch and stop. Jim (and everyone else) tell me what about touch and go deadlift? Is there any other difference than hold in tension? I noticed that for me first rep is hardest and with touch go I can do more reps than dead stop.
