![]() With my lower-rep sets (under 5), I'll use paused reps and reset my form on each rep to ensure that my form stays tight and I'm not relying on momentum to break the bar off the floor. ![]() So when you're doing paused reps, there's more "first reps," so to speak, and you'll see form deteriorate with paused reps as fatigue sets in. Instead, you'll often see that the first rep in a set of deadlifts is the worst, when people are trying to overcome inertia and break the bar off the floor. With paused reps, you can theoretically reset between reps to keep that from happening.īut that's not what usually happens. I also used to think paused reps were safer because with touch-and-go reps there's the potential for form to break down as the set goes on, which usually manifests in people failing to get their hips down and "stiff legging" reps later in the set, something that can get dangerous with heavy loads. ![]() I used to do only paused reps because I thought touch-and-go was "cheating." After all, it's a dead lift, implying you should start each rep from a dead stop, right?Ĭheating though implies you're breaking rules, and last time I checked, there's no "deadlift for reps" contest, so there really are no rules. When pulling multiple reps in the deadlift, should you pause and reset between reps or do them continuously? ![]()
