That's not necessarily true. Just because you set a weight down doesn't mean there is no elastic response in the muscles when you pick it back up. It still takes a few seconds. The difference being that it is EASIER to set it down for people since they don't want to have to support the weight between reps if they pause to let the spring response die. So my feeling is THAT is why you like it. Because you do regular barbell rows other than that.

Heck I can do romanians to the floor and get going like crazy bouncing that thing up and down. Deloading is PAUSING it's not just putting it down. The floor actually HELPS me gain that "momentum". When I do them to a bit below the knees I am not able to go as quickly. If you ever watch strongman comps they require them to pause between each deadlift rep...the very thing they DON'T want to do. And of course by definition the deadlift is a lift from the floor. But that does not erase the "momentum" (not a correct word here but...) they could gain, and want to gain if they were allowed to keep going quickly.

One of my problems when I was doing so called "js" rows is trying to do lots of volume with heavy ass weights off the floor is that I was using "momentum" as much as anything else. This I hardly hit my back at all from a strength perspective although I training "starting strength" or spring strenght a lot. Fat lot of good it did me as far as rowing and any transfer to other things.

Now when I actually do row off the floor I concentrate on going slower. I don't go hog wild just thinking about weight on the bar. I actually let it deweight. But I am able to tolerate more weight than I would if I had to support the weight while pausing. At the same time I want a lot of my rowing to be done with the weight on the muscles the entire time.

Nothing wrong with that but if you think about it when you DON'T like to have to support the weight, that may well be the very thing you should do more of. Deweighting and deloading is not necessarily the same thing.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
