Nice work man! You have come a long way with your deadlifts and worked really hard at it. Keep up the good work.

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but why not control the weight on the way down? A good deadlift, to me, should be a smooth ascent AND a smooth descent. Keeping form very tight and under strict control throughout.

less weight for complete back work i'll agree
but
hes clearly training for the explosive power movement here
perhaps a meet coming up????
which would not be beneficial for him as this could
potentially cause injury

in my meets (wayyyyy back in the day)
i never even bent over to put the weight back down
i was always good for a 600 pull at 181

Thanks a lot Bruno..I'm sure you remember how horrible my old DLs were lol. I really acredit how much stronger I got on them from that.

Well, if you'll show me how to control 425 on the way down I'd love to see it. We train DLs on Thur at 5 PM sharp...

But seriously, I'm training for strength...so not to worried about lowering it. Plus I'd rather get 1 or 2 more reps than lower 8 slow.
I'm lowering it better than I use to..with some control, but if I have to lower the weight(on the bar) that's not helping, and if I'm lowering it slower, better chance of injury, which also won't be worth it.

Tenny you're right...meet in a few months.
That's what I'm aiming for 600 @ 181.
