My gym at home is very hardcore. We have several PL'ers and Strongmen.
While deadlifting, I noticed that they are pretty much evenly split between deadlift technique. Some touch and go, while others drop the weight, and simply pick it back up from a stand still.
Is this based solely on personal preferance?? I'm somewhat new to powerlifting. I just assumed that the "pause technique" (I don't even know what it's actually called) would be better overall because it allows you to get the initial pull (which for me is the hardest at meets).
What do you guys do and why?
