I do not find that you have to deweight if you are going for reps. The key is to know when you stop when your form is going. Generally, if you are lifting for reps, you are going to stop about 1-2 reps of your MAX since the last 1-2 reps, your form will be compromised. Would you deweight after you squat, bench press, row, and shoulder press?? You could. but you don't. What makes this different. IMO, I think it is personal preference and totally dependant on your fitness goals.
oh yea, and stiff legged deadlifts are the only type of deadlifts i do.
