I do need to do the setup each time. I can't just put the weight down in the right spot and pick it right up again like some folks do.
If i'm saying anything way off base here, hopefully people will correct me.
You can still "reset" while staying hands on bar and feet placed where you started. I believe that's almost standard practice.
That's different than touch and go where you stay tight and pull again immediately, but you'll still be repping a lot faster than doing a 100% complete let go and stand up reset
I can only comment on how i do that.
i raise my hips to take another big breath, drop hips back down into position getting tight, pull the bar with my lats back again etc...
There may be people who get another breath etc without raising their hips. I simply haven't stored that detail in my mind.
The idea is the same though, just taking a very short moment to get a breath and reset, getting tight again while staying basically in position between reps.
I just wanted to bring this up because i couldn't tell for sure what you were saying you couldn't do.
I have not yet been able to rep in the touch and go style myself.
I hear it can be highly beneficial, but afaik, it's a little bit more of an advanced technique.
