Well just to tell you…Jim Wendler deadlift for reps touch and go style, Bill Star deadlift for 5 reps and even the great Ronnie Coleman(youtube video) deadlift a amazing 800lbs for 2 reps touch and go style. MAny strongman competition on tv have the competitors doing some kind of deadlift and touch and go is allowed, this is why many peoples training for strongman will deadlift for reps or time. Also deadlifting for reps will work your grip like crazy…So well if i dont compete in powerlifting but wanna get strong and big…deadlift is a amazing lift to include in any routine and for reps!!
For the original post…again amazing lift!! Beast!
1.) most people do not train for strongman comp
2.) ronnie coleman is a bodybuilder not a strength competitor
3.) you want an amazing grip it’s called a captains of crush gripper set
4.)this is the strengthforum not the bodybuilding forum
5.) as for jim wendler a strength guru in his own right does not hold a candle to Ed Coan a legendary powerlifter who advocates low rep deads
whatever…All of us doing high rep deads …we are just a bunch of idiot!!

Hey, if high reps on the deadlift works for you, then more power to you , I just feel people could benefit by spending more of their time in getting progress,(more bang for their buck), then just pulling away for reps on end.

I maybe past my prime but I’ve pulled as may as 17 reps with 495# at a bodyweight of 290#. I had never really gone under five reps for deadlifts up to that time I had just had a crappy day on the bench and decided to punish myself, circa 1998. A few years and a long layoff later I worked up to 495# for a set a 15 reps touch and go, no stopping at a bodyweight of 235#. This took about 3 months to get to, I started with repping at 315# and jumped 90# pounds when I hit predetermined rep goals. I think that high rep stuff might have some strength value at least in my experience. I would say that if you want to pull heavier weight you need to be consistent with the right weights, sets, reps, etc. But I don’t think that high reps will kill your chances of heavy pulls.
I don’t think the issue of high rep deadlifts has to be black and white. I think it is ok to do them from time to time, but they probably aren’t the best for developing max strength. The reason that I like them, to be honest, is that for me they are a mental test.
I like to do things every once in awhile to push myself and see how much I can do and puhs through fatigue and pain. So while they may not help directly with strength, there is an indirect benefit of teaching you to to push hard and ignore pain, which is helpful for all lifts.
I personally would not do well doing this sort of stuff a lot because it wrecks me and it would screw up the rest of my training. I did those deadlifts on my final lower body workout before a week off, so while I probably didn’t get as many reps as I could have if I was fresh, I have a week to recover. It is now 3 days later and I am still really sore in my back, traps, and hamstrings. Gotta love it!
