deadlift question

iMan323 · 08-01-2004, 11:25 PM

How are you supposed to bring the barbell down? I've been using a sort of controlled fall where I basically relax my legs and reverse the motion but, I keep my back straight. Is there anything wrong with this approach? How do you do it?

I just set it back down, very controlled and fairly slow.

controlled drop. I see no need for a slow negative on a deadlift.

iMan323, great question!

I just assumed that like every other exericse, that I needed to do the negative portion of the deadlifts.

Are there any other exerices that I shouldn't do the negative portion of?
