foxy		Deadlifts: Touch and go	12-04-2012 @ 01:23
The shite one Member 2740, 200 posts	Does anyone here spend much time doing touch and go deadlifts (not bounce and pull). It seems (from the videos) like most people in here seem to fully reset the bar after each rep. Does anyone mix up the two styles? And if so, whats your thoughts on this? Answers on a postcard.

really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260 550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	i thought the point of deadlifts was lifting a dead weight. if it's getting any sort of bounce, it won't be allowed in competition so i don't see the point of touch and go.

Its only like doing partial deads though but form a much lower height is it not?

When you say you get better results from this what do you mean? Has this method increased your max pull off the floor?

Weightlifters only do Sn and Cjerk in competition, yet they train a lot of ither lifts too... Like Martin says, you train to get stronger. You then apply that strength in competition. If you have a reason to train TNG deads, crack on.
