The first few sets always go fine, then as fatigue kicks in.....you have to be extra careful. At that weight I pause between each rep. There were guys in there deadlifting 275 for reps......but bouncing the weight from the floor.

Momentum is good for some things, but that will just get you hurt the way they were doing it.
That’s some serious volume for DLs....nice! You absolutely need to use proper form and reset for each rep.

I see a lot of ppl, young/old bouncing DL reps. Makes me cringe. Even when I’m doing lower weights for high reps I’m under control and not bouncing using momentum.

I actually did a full workout of all EMOMs, DLs being one of them. 5 reps of 315 for 10 minutes. So total of 50 reps good muscle endurance/conditioning. And no bouncing!
