Should I go to the floor and basically do every rep like it is my first or am I should I pick a lighter weight and rep it out with constant tension on my back without touching the floor? Or are they both safe?
Thats what I do. I see guys use to much weight and slam it into the ground with every rep, thats a recipe to strain/tear something. Also that severe loading and unloading of your lower back cannot be good.rep it out with constant tension on my back without touching the floor
AGREE 100%!!!!!!!!!Deads - each rep is deweighted fully on the floor. No touch and go. This is called the 'dead'lift because the weight is 'dead' on the ground. You can touch and go warm ups but that's it.

Also agree 100%.AGREE 100%!!!!!!!!!
how did you do all that?slipped a disc, partially torn my erector spinae muscles (both sides) and torn my hamstring.
Over 4 years of heavy lifting, at various points in time of my training.how did you do all that?
I did 275 15-20 x's Wednesday and lowered the weight real slow , long story short, abdominal wall pain.had to go to doctors , went over a machine where they took pictures..no hernia...everything looked cool as he out it...gave me hydrocodone, on them now. Got to let it heal without doing anything strenuous. from now on its lowered fastly! Im glad you mentioned this repsss! cardio for me in till the next few days and calves...nothing that would put pressure on this strain.Also agree 100%.
I found I injured myself much more if I slowly controlled the weight back to the floor.
Bill Starr knew what he was talking about...the 5x5 works miracles.
as I read this awesome advice. i ddid them today and certain things am not concious of. I think i did it right. Next time though Ill evaluate. The Dead is one of those exercises you need to be set up right. and learn what works best for you. Ive been deadlifting a couple years now and Im still finding out new things that helped me lift heavier and with more ease.I think a lot of people just don't realize how to correctly lower the weight when deadlifting, and thats what leads to injuries. You should lower the bar just like your starting a squat, Back arched, chest up, pushing your hips back and not down. Your shoulders should be behind the bar and above your hips throughout the whole decent.
I do the same at times gathering my breath. I do the same with squats if I get to light headed it causes me to see funny. and I have to take a breathe and get my oxygen :dl:I dead lift from the floor every rep. i actually 2 second pause between each pull, that way ther is that quick opputunity to make sure you are formed proper for the next rep(no scared cat sh!t.). imho, the correct form is such. when doing heavier weight, that is certainly the best way i think, and a dead lift is inherently supposed to be a heavy lift.
I do touch and go as well. as i get really heavy, touch and go becomes less plausible, for me.2 of the world's best deadlifters Konstantinov and Turtiainen both work with touch and go deads. Thats as big an endorsement as you'll get. However, neither 'bounce' the weight. Touch and go, not bounce and go.
Yeah rest pause is crushing. i bench that way at times as well.While lifting heavy I find Rest/pause is the best way to kill myself in a good way. Squats or Deads especially.:ninja:
