This is why often times when someone tries to calculate an estimated 1 rep max off a deadlift set (for instance, 405x10 would technically predict a 540lb 1RM), they get frustrated when it doesn't end up being accurate. This is a big one: Because all of the reps following the first rep you do on a touch-and-go set will have an eccentric portion, the deadlifts will be slightly different than if you were doing each rep separately.Take advantage of the time-under-tension aspect of these to work the hamstrings and back as you lower the weight. Make sure to stay tight and controlled with these, and don't just drop the weight to the floor with each rep. Because now you're adding a eccentric (lowering) part to the movement, and are doing more reps in a row it's a lot easier to get away with sloppy reps and still bounce the weight off the floor to complete the lift, while getting out of position.You get more constant time under tension, and personally I find I am less beat up deadlifting frequently when I do it this way.
I like using these when doing frequent moderate percentage deadlifting volume (like in a program like 5/3/1), because (as long as you do them controlled) touch-and-go deadlifts allow you to lock into a tight position and complete your entire set without having to stop and get tight again. Here are a couple of my opinions on how I utilize both: Touch-and-Go I honestly have clients do both depending on the situation. I had a handful of people yesterday comment on my deadlift video asking about my opinion of what I think is better, touch-and-go or dead stop (resetting between each rep) reps for deadlift.
