I'd like to see a study of people who do slowed negatives on deadlifts vs just barely controlling it on the way down.

- grvdrm 4y agoAbsolutely - I understand there are some practical reasons for doing it that way but I’m always surprised to see people wasting that lowering portion simply by dropping the weight. Serious control on the way down helps too! Another way I think about it: the weight shouldn’t bounce on the floor. If it does, slow it down.
- MichaelDickens 4y agoI'd also like to see that. Might be hard though--if you're studying untrained individuals in a 6 week program, they're going to see such massive gains in their deadlift that I don't think programming will make much difference. I would rather see a study on experienced lifters over 6 months, but that's probably not going to happen.
