those deads are paying off. negatives are absolutely important for the bber, a lot of guys try to make as much noise as possible ( to get people to notice their lifts...) Me, I want a thick back. lower under control

People sometimes don't realize how important form is, it's not just about blowing up the weight in a given exercise, once the form is down, the strength and size gains come a lot faster

Hey guys when you say lower under control you still sort of drop it the last couple on inches, right? I definitely try to minimize dropping since I lift at the free facility where I work and most people there are dilettantes. I am the only deadlifter for sure. There is actually only one barbell for the whole facility and I get dirty looks when I am DLing and someone wants to bench. But I still sort of let the bar drop the last couple of inches. It's ok to make SOME noise right?
Yeah control of the eccentric is where its at. I deadlifted for a year and a half, basically dropping the weight. In the last six months I have seen amazing advances in strength and in my overall back development by instituting a nice slow controlled negative. At first it seems like the weight is much heavier, obviously, but within a few weeks I was back up to weight and feeling much more "in control" and strong.
