well it depends what your training for.
1. Max Strength or powerlifting (which is mostly speed and technique)
2. Bodybuilding

I don't see a problem with doing deads for reps... if the weight can be done easily... if it is a weight that is extremely heavy for you, you could get injured... because I heard that "form" thing breaks down as you get closer to your 1RM

i used to do my deads explosivly like a power lifter with about 405 in sets of 5 reps.
but now i go ALOT slower, it feels more natural that way to go slow and controlled. but i use about 275 or so but im going really slow.
and dont forget those rack deadlifts, they really hammer you

the reason deadlifts for reps is seen as bad is because in most cases as people do more reps, their form decreases with the number of reps. It is for this reason tate recomends doing 10+sets of 1 rep so your form stays in check. In doing this you can keep "perfect"form and keep your self out of injury.

Yeah... I've done my workout like this before...
185 x 1, 225 x 1, 275 x 1, 315 x 1, 315 x 1, 365 x 1, and then 405 (just recently) x 1, 405 x 1 --
But I've also done -- 185 x 10, 225 x 8, 275 x 6, 315 x 5, 365 x 3 and 405 x 1 -- took alot of concentration though....

yea i agree with you C. It is very taxing to do 1 rep at high weight and use 10-20 rests in between sets. What i like to do is complete a rep, drop the weight...though remain in the starting postion. Then i just take a breath...wait 5 seconds and repeat. Makes for a fun workout
