Bad Technique
Bad technique happens with singles just as with Touch and Gos.
Beginner's and intermediates perform deadlifts with improper technique even with singles. That "just go get more reps in."
No matter how you twist it, bad technique will and does occur with singles as well as reps.

Heavy Singles
Heavy singles simulate powerlifting meet contitions. So, they should be practices at some point.
That holds true with the squat and bench press.
[quote=arian11;925235]If I want to train my lockout, then I'll just do rack pulls or strengthen muscles that work the most in the lockout like my glutes. I don't see the need to ruin my technique when that is most important to me.
The Irony
The irony of performing Rack Deadlifts the movement is no the same regular deadlifts. That means you technique is not the same. Thus, your are reinforcing poor technique.
Auxilary Movements
What you want is an auxiliary exercise that train the weak point without reinforcing poor technique.
