Deadlift for reps meet; explode or pace?

[btech]

Donnie Thompson is putting on a deadlift for reps meet at his gym on July 19th.

Deadlift your bodyweight for max reps. After rep # 25, you can either take a shot of whiskey or eat a Krispy Kreme dougnut. I don't believe that the reps are timed.

Question: If you can do 50+ reps, is it better to explode every rep from the beginning, or is it better to be relatively controlled in the beginning so that you do not quickly exhaust yourself?

Consider this scenario and how you might answer it, as I believe it to be similar....
You are going to run as far as you can with your bodyweight added to your back. If you know you can run at least a mile, is it better to take off in a sprint or to start off at a slow, controlled pace?

Thank you for the input Macho Man, good point; I will blast from the first rep.

As I understand it you have to do 25 reps, then eat doughnut or shot of whiskey, THEN you have 1 min to do as many reps as possible.

If the first 25 aren't timed, I would do them semi leisurely. I would still be explosive, but I wouldn't just bang out all 25 reps at once. Probably in sets of 5. After I got 25, and took the min break, I would bust them out pretty fast in that min time frame.
