Touch & go is usually easier. Check <a href="http://stronglifts.com/the-stretch-reflex-to-bounce-or-not-to-bounce/" rel="nofollow">to bounce or not to bounce</a>). It's always good to deload for a while if you find yourself stalling. @Jason You're welcome, thanks for giving me the idea for the article. Have you tried this technique in the meanwhile? How did it felt? @Nadim

He uses the alternate grip to stop the bar rolling with momentum. Great post too. I was deadlifting this morning trying to perfect my technique so a nice coincidence.

On less weight I would be able to touch the floor, keeping my muscles tense throughout and simply move into the next rep immediately. Should I try and focus on keeping that technique thorough as my poundage goes up? As in, rather do a soft deload if I can't handle going from one rep to the next without dropping the barbell?
