For me, there are two deadlift weights: weight I can lift all day, and weight I can hit for singles to triples. In that situation, yeah, slow negatives make a sick sense, if you don't mind having muscle spasms in your lower back for a day or two.<br /><br />One of the problems with a commercial gym (which is where I was going for a while), is that you might be the only person there doing deadlift, squats, military press, etc., so you don't have anyone to bounce ideas off of an learn from.<br /><br />J.JaJustin Jameshttp://www.thesophist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-21445685075334752202010-01-26T13:22:50.502-05:002010-01-26T13:22:50.502-05:00slow burn negatives on dl's? why bother?slow burn negatives on dl's? why bother?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-6336269477011234042010-01-26T12:57:16.926-05:002010-01-26T12:57:16.926-05:00Yeah, I prefer to save my energy for completing th...Yeah, I prefer to save my energy for completing the next attempt- fuck that slow burn negative bullshit.Jamie Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182869171233847161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-28756866507622712392010-01-26T12:36:34.859-05:002010-01-26T12:36:34.859-05:00Every gym I've been to (not many) already has ...Every gym I've been to (not many) already has rubber mats on the ground, but I admit, I am not in love with tossing the weight on the ground anyways. When I did DLs before CnP, I'd go down slow and milk the negative part of the lift for a great burn, now I do a "controlled, rapid descent" just because I'm going heavy and it would kill me to put it down slowly. I might look at the rubber mats for when I do snatches though, I really don't want to drop a barbell 7 feet onto the floor, and right now, controlling it on the way down is not so wonderful. It's OK with dumbbells, but not the barbell. :)<br /><br />J.JaJustin Jameshttp://www.thesophist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-32189742901314815552010-01-26T12:02:04.666-05:002010-01-26T12:02:04.666-05:00Those fatgripz are in fact so inexpensive (at leas...Those fatgripz are in fact so inexpensive (at least when I bought them...what 40 bucks including shipping?) that it's actually easier and cheaper to use them than to jury-rig a bar as described.
