They are done in a power rack. You set the pins at just below knee level, so this becomes your starting point. After you lift to the top you slowly set the bar back down on the pins and from a complete stop, you lift again.

This version eliminates some leg and hip recruitment and forces the back to do more work. AWESOME for mass!

That's how i been doin em

Except our tight arse gym has car stands

I start on those and the bottom part of my rep is just below the knees. Is that cool or is it advantageous to stop at the bottom of the lift?
Did 220kg (484lbs) for two reps today

Are they really jack stands? LoL...

Really, really!! The biggest prob with em is when you've finished your set you gotta dump the bastard on the ground and then lift the barbell back on the stands. When your at failure it's a bit hard to put 200kg on 2 x 2" squares !!

When I say to stop at the bottom I am eliminating any momentum from a "bounce" off the pins. The bounce takes much away from the lift.

The comp i went to on Saturday had a deadlift exhibition. This sheela (female) weighing 56kg 123 lbs Lifted 120kg 264lbs like it was nothing (i was impressed!!)
Then this stocky little bloke came out and did 250kg, i told him i did 220kg (he was impressed!!)

How did they preform the Dead in the exhibition Peetrips?

Was if right off the floor or did they start from the pins, lower to the floor and back up?

They just did a single lift straight off the floor. They did a second one about 1 minute later. The little lady was impressive she didn't look like she even put any effort in
