Does increasing the ROM make the deadlift harder to recover from?

[ruckin]

I seem to be getting a lot of conflicting info on this. I feel like some people say that deficit deads (longer range of motion) are easier to recover from, and then some say that block deads (shorter ROM) are easier to recover from than standard deadlifts. Which do you all think it is? I can't seem to come to a conclusive answer... Or does it just so happen to conveniently work out that both are easier to recover from, and the height that a normal pull is done from happens to be where the body naturally has the hardest time with?

Greater / exaggerated range of motion would take longer to recover from imo. Comparing equal weight being used

I would say block pulls and deficit deadlift are usually easier to recover from because even though block pulls are heavier range of motion is shorter and deficit are more range of motion, but usually done lighter.

The same amount of weight used on deficit as standard deadlift would be harder to recover from based on that formula for work performed. Weight times distance or whatever. Seems that way to me anyway.

Yeah but I don't think anyone can pull from a deficit as much as they could from normal height. So you're saying that the standard ROM deadlift just happens to be the middle ground, where weight used and ROM length both peak enough to create the most taxing movement then?

Block pulls, rack pulls and reverse band pulls are more taxing on your CNS because you are simply working with weights your body isn't able to handle within normal circumstances. You may have more sore hamstrings and possibly lumbar from deficit deadlift but at the core of it that's just muscle soreness that isn't actually taxing your body like lifting heavy weight does that's more a muscle fibre break down sore not a central nervous system frying. It's the same reason we don't do 1rm on a regular basis working with our max load is as taxing as possible, now we can get away with more having the shorter ROM but in the end you still need to brace harder and make more nurons fire to activate your body for that pull. It is easier to recover and create morphological adaptation then it is to create neurological adaptation (hypertrophy recovery and growth vs CNS recovery and adaption)

I added the snatch grip high pull from the rack and it wrecked my lower back. The only thing I can think of is I used my lower back to start the movement since my legs were not as much in the equation. I assumed less range of motion would mean I could handle more, that was a mistake.
