Plan Strong Comp Day Question

[Luwuwu]

Here’s my question: should the 2-3 attempts on the test day, after the ramp up, be counted in the total volume?
Thank you very much!

Why wouldn’t you count them?

Well, when Fabio taught us PS and he was writing a deadlift plan as an example, the attempt(s) was not counted. Then I read the manual which clearly states that they should be counted.
I suppose that maybe it was because the volume was too low? There were 5 top zone lifts in total, and Fabio assigned 1 old 1rm to the test day and 1 in week two. The other 3 were below 95%.

Yes, they should be counted as part of the NL in the >90%1RM intensity zone

This sounds a little strange to me, as I always count them...

I hope this helps.

Got it! Perhaps I remembered it wrong.
Thank you very much!
