 Question is from Jazz Fitness. What are your opinions on touch and go versus dead stop for exercises such as dead lifts? Yeah, dead lifts. Well, I had this conversation with Courtney actually recently because she's getting into our programming and starting to go through dead lifts again. And I've been very cautious with her with dead lifts specifically because of back issues that she's experienced just from moving around patients and throwing her back out. And this is a very gradual thing that we're trying to build strength again and the proper bracing with it. So I started doing it with touch and go. And that was, I had to stop her immediately and I'm like, okay, no. Every single rep that you're gonna take, we have to have that proper brace first. And I want you to completely stop momentum and create that intention within every rep that you're gonna do. So I'm not a fan of touch and go either, but we have that in one of our programs. And I don't remember which one it is up top of my head. Do you know which one it is up top of your head? Anabolic. Yeah, anabolic towards the end. Oh, anabolic. Yeah, phase three. Well, of course it's in the one that we weren't a part of. So, yeah. Cause I'm not a fan of touch and go. But touch and go, okay. I'm not a fan of touch and go. You'll see me do touch and goes, okay? So I'm not a fan of it for the general pop because most people I wouldn't consider at a high enough level to be good at touch and go deadlifts because most people's form is off into Justin's point about taking their time between each rep. But does that mean that again, kind of back to the last question we just answered, is touch and go deadlifts a bad exercise or a dangerous exercise? Well, no, not if you can perform it safely. If you can keep your core tight and you can keep good form and you have a really good looking deadlift without touching goes, then touch and go is probably just fine. I just realized that someone listening might not even know the difference between touch and go deadlifts and deadstop. So, real quick, deadstop, you bring the barbell all the way to the floor, you let it sit on the floor for about one to three seconds. A long second. Yeah, reset and then do the deadlift again. Touch and go, you touch the floor and come up. So you're just doing the reps. Now here's the challenge with touch and go deadlifts. Okay, it's not that the deadlifts don't stop. It's that you hit the ground. So if I did like a squat where I squat until the barbell hit safeties or if I did any other exercise where I'm bouncing off something. It's gonna bounce left to right. That's the problem. The challenge is the bounce is how you're touching the floor and coming up. Your QL is gonna get us top to you. If you're doing touch and go deadlifts and you're bouncing it off the ground, you're asking for trouble. Because if one side touches the floor, a split second before the other and you have a lot of load on there, that can cause a problem. Touch and go deadlift needs to be perfect. It's not bang, bang, bang, even though you'll see your favorite Instagram celebrities do that, you go down, touch the floor and come up. That's why it's called touch and go. The reason why a lot of people hurt themselves is because of the bounce part. And when you get that bounce part, you get for a split second, you lose stability. But it's so common. I mean, if I'm gonna see somebody performing a deadlift in a gym, typically it's touch and go. And mainly because they look at it as a reps thing. I'm trying to get through the workout and get the reps in. And they're not taking that seriousness that especially is something like a deadlift that has a little bit higher risk, but has massive reward to it. But you really have to slow down and make sure the intention and all those mechanical things are correct. Yeah, and the reason why it's in MAPS Anabolic in phase three is first off, if you follow the program, phase three, you're between six to nine weeks into the program. It's not a program for complete beginners, but it is a general starter type program. It's also phase three. Phase three, the rest periods are short, meaning that you're not resting as long and the weight's not gonna be as heavy. You're not gonna do, don't do touch and goes with your heavy, heaviest deadlift weight. You wanna go in there light and if you're doing it to get reps and get a pump and that kind of stuff, that's when it becomes more appropriate. But if you're gonna do touch and go, again, don't bang off the floor because you'll lose stability for a split second and then that tends to be when people hurt themselves.
