I am a Coleman fan personally, his physique seemed more "unattainable" that Dorian's (not that I could every look anything like either of those guys).

I see board member Hulkster shares my opinion, although I find his mildly-homoerotic fascination with another man's gluteal striations a bit alarming.

One thing I did like that the 112 rumor spawned, was Special Ed had the "Deadlift Challenge."

Numerous guys, all took videos of themselves trying to hit as close to 112 reps as possible. Mr. Magoo (the "original"), Chris Mason, and I remember at least one more attempting the lift. I think Chris Mason got the closest, with 59 or so?

Anyway, that made for some entertaining viewing!

Rather than set the bar down on the floor, take a breath or two and then lift again, a touch and go rep is that you basically let the bar bounce off the floor. Most deadlifts you see in gyms are done as "touch and go."

That's how I do them. I thought keeping tension was important? Why rest for 5 seconds every rep? 112 reps would take ten minutes this way!

Keeping tension is overrated. You have to rest to be able to keep going.

Keeping tension is important. On deadlifts you can do either/or, imo. However, if going from the floor, I prefer to stop and let the bar rest on the floor and take a deep breath and then lift again. This is actually how the exercise got it's name; dead weight lift. The bar isn't moving, and is dead weight...etc.
I think most people use the touch and go as a cheating method. They can bounce the weight and therefore use more weight than they normally would (and others so they get an ego boost too).
