I’m headed into Day 4 of Week 6 programming on the v.1 Strength template. Planned for this Saturday.
It calls for 2count paused DL at 1" off floor. It also calls for SLDL.
My 1@8 for Comp DL is 395. I’ve never done that 2ct paused variation before. What would you guess is a normal “step down percentage” for 1@8 of the 2 ct variation?
Hi! We don’t have a percentage to give you, and the goal is still to use RPE, warm up, and find the weight for the day. It will be less than your comp lift.
Thanks Leah. 1 more question on this variation. The description says 2CT paused DL 1" off the floor. I read that to mean the bottom of the plate comes 1 inch off the floor then you pause for 2 CT before continuing up. However, in Jordan’s demo video he pauses much higher (ie. at mid shin). Can you please let me know if it’s 1 inch or 1 foot off the floor where the pause is to be maintained. Thank you
This is a pause 1 inch off the floor. His demo is actually a general paused DL video as you can pause the DL at any number of places. This one prescribes it 1 inch off the floor.
