yeah, touch the ground, releasing any tension. so do you guys face this problem? people coming up to you telling what's wrong and you know it's not

Thats either a straight leg deadlift or a romanian

For deadlift:

If the weights touch the ground briefly = normal deadlift
If the weights do not touch the ground = Romanian deadlift
If u deadlift without bending the knees = stiffed leg deadlift, mainly for hamstring.

No one is wrong here. Just make sure form is not.

if you're doing for bodybuilding purpose
then your trainer is correct

excerpt from a tnation article:

Guys, he was talking about the rest between REPS, not the way to lift the weight. Just lift the damn weight.

I reset after every rep.

to those familiar with Prof X from the tnation forums. the videos of him in a training lab with Christian Thibaudeau for the indigo 3g project. Another huge mofo, and even more impressive considering hes a natural..

i believe he was referring to straight leg at that time

agreed, but the trainer keep insisting there's no such thing as briefly touching the floor.
i told him that i'm not saying that he's wrong and asked him politely to check the internet for more info regarding pausing/restarting, but he replied saying that the internet are full of bullshits (i do agree partially but there's a lot of credible source around eg. startingstrength)

thanks for the info

I.usually touch the floor briefly for normal... stiff.leg wun touch... bcoz I cant bend that much

He's probably thinking that if you drop the weight down you'd lose tension on your working muscles or he thinks it's dangerous to continuously lift dead weights or he's ignorant

yeah, that's what he said. that if i drop the weight it would lose the point of lifting
i don't know if he's being ignorant or what but he's telling me he's been lifting for years and he has a cert that can be used all around the world and have never seen ppl restarting between reps

Well, the bottom line is, he's a trainer, not your boss. If he doesn't like the variation of the exercise you're doing (provided your form is good and all), he really can't make you do anything.

tumpang tanya here...
anyone here who done hst cycle b4 willing to give some feedback.. how was it?

Oh, and since everyone was posting food a while back, here's dinner today:

Sooner or later someone is gonna start a food thread

wait, BB row? you mean you're dropping the weights on the floor for BB rows for every rep?

are you briefly touching the floor for DL or restarting at every rep, ie, doing singles continuously? probably a video would be nice so we are at the same page here.

First time I'm seeing a deload on barbell rows. On the DL it's pretty normal though.

I remember it call pendlay row ..
more towards strength
