Hello BBM team,
I started the new low fatigue template and stumbled upon halting deadlifts. Never seen them, so I have a question on their execution.
Some sources say that each rep consists of a half pull plus a full rom pull, others just a half pull. Also, should i pull the same as in a regular deadlift? Or i should try to emphasize a specific movement pattern.
Thanks for the support.

In a halting deadlift, the entirety of a single rep is from the floor to just above the knee. There is no full rep component. To perform one, do a normal deadlift to just above the knees, pause for 1-count, then return to the floor.
Some people seem to like them and get good results. I don’t program them often, but they may be a viable option for you!

Jordan,
Thank you for the clarification. It is quite an added value to be able to ask questions on top of the template material.
Back to DL, in fact, I also dont like partial rom variants and the other thing i realized after week 1 is that there are two such variants in 2 consecutive days (halting on day 3 and mid shin on day 4).
Maybe will swap for another variant

Eh, it’s not that I don’t like partial ROM exercises for the DL per se’. I often use mid-shin block pulls, for example. I just don’t think halting DL work well for a lot of people, but I’m open to them working for you!
