725 FOR REPS?! Touch and Go Deadlifts vs Dead Stop Reps - When to Bounce and When to Reset

[@koffski93]

My deadlift really took off when I started to control the eccentric portion, all the while doing touch and go, but not bouncing. Also did it with a pause right above the floor. This was a great way to improve my starting position.

[@tomiesz]

I do similar but without pauses. I think for general strength RDLs or touch and go but controlled eccentric is really good

[@getstrongby4038]

That's what RDLs And stiff legs are for imo

[@koffski93]

@@getstrongby4038 for me that wouldn't help my positioning, the controlled negative always puts me in the most advantageous starting position. Rdl is great tho

[@BaldOmniMan]

I like touch and go’s for time under tension. I prefer RDLS for that purpose but they work great as long as you don’t recklessly abuse them.

[@Ojthemighty]

Oh. Seems ive been doing this without knowing it. I like to rebrace my core at the top after every rep i find it really helps keep me strong without pausing too much as supposed to rebracing on the floor

[@romanemp1985]

I’m a Thai fighter. Despite all the negativity I see on touch n go, I really on them to help me develop explosiveness for snappy, explosive kicks. I don’t bounce the weight though, I control how it touches the ground then drive straight back up. People be mad starring at me when they see me doing touch n go while everyone mostly only train with rest in between their sets.

[@simondean5227]

Thanks for the tip, I've only ever done dead stop deadlifts but I have my first comp this September and the deadlift is touch and go

Good luck on your entry. Loving Peak Strength! Thank you for all your content, it's helped me so much!

Hey Coach, how about an offseason Strongman tutorial? How you structure yours, focuses, etc.

I actually wanna try, and run smolov with touch, and go deadlifts. Then do german volume training on my off days so my squat doesnt fall behind.

great work Alexander, justfinished reading your strength book and I can't wait to start my volume intensity progression! Hope u ll smash my plateaus thx in adv👍👆

[@WorldsWorstLegGenes]

I can deadlift 355 lbs for 15 reps, dead stop every rep, sitting more upright, using a little momentum. ... But I have never been able to deadlift 440lbs. That's strange because my rep numbers and rep speed are improving but the number itself doesn't budge

[@colbyharris7229]

Because you are training for 15 reps... you should be training for 1 rep. You need to do some 5’s 3’s and 1s

How would you get your rotator cuff stronger if it was a weakness for benching

[@AlexanderBromley]

External rotations with a dumbbell. Sit on a bench with your leg up and put your elbow on your knee. Sets of 10-15

[@mikeyvesperlick6982]

Be honest man is your bench stronger than you pulldown or bent-over row

[@antoniomelton-molina1442]

I personally don’t like doing 1rm either, but how do you find the numbers to take percentages of (when doing percentage based programs)? Do you just estimate your 1rm and hope you were correct?

[@jamesbedwell8793]

I tend to use predicted 1RMs based on rep work, it works alright for me. If it feels off I can self adjust by 5-10lbs

[@andreabarone4964]

I want to try smolov but I’ve heard that since the volume in smolov is insane you will loose some of the gains from it because every other program has less, is there a program that could help you keeping progress after smolov?

[@R3FL3XSN1P3R]

Smolov is a peaking cycle. Whenever you peak, the idea is your strongest on one day (competition) and then it will decrease after. You haven't "lost any gains" you just can't hit the same weight everyday. It's comparable to if I do 200 kg one day, then the next day I'm tired from it and can only do 190, I haven't got weaker, I'm just less able to perform on that day

[@andreabarone4964]

@@R3FL3XSN1P3R yeah but I’m talking about people who hit 200 once and then after another peaking cycle they were only able to hit 160

[@MrKirkCaptain]

@@andreabarone4964 wut 200 then down to 160? That's 20% strength loss! Probably something wrong with their programming, recovery, diet or a combination if not all. With that much loss i might even think microinjuries

[@andreabarone4964]

@@MrKirkCaptain what is some advice you would give?

[@MrKirkCaptain]

​@@andreabarone4964 strength training is a marathon, not a sprint. Slow progress over years of consistent hard work beats quick progress that could lead to over fatigue and injury. I could write a whole book on training principles but just check out Calgary barbell, allan thrall, and alex bromley, to name a few good strength youtubers

[@overlord6815]

Have you main videos on the concept of "pulling what you push or else your shoulders will turn to powder"? Curious to hear your thoughts

[@aurelius9026]

that's just a fancy way of saying build the antagonistic muscles other wise you will create strength and postural imbalances that could result in uneven wear on the joints and connective tissue. basically if I understand correctly you don't need to barbell row what you bench press but having similar volume for both will help
