Hey everyone, im hoping someone who has done plan strong could help clear up some confusion, I'm currently prepping for SFL, I'm using the programming methods I learned from Plan strong. My goal is to use it to build up my X2 bodyweight deadlift. I notice Deadlift is partnered with Squats in there own category together, I know it says And/or, but reading through the manual the closest I can get to a explanation of what that means is Use one of them as a SV (Specialised variation) and dedicate a % of the NL to it.
If i'm right in understanding this you would have let's say 300 NL, so 20% of that would be 60 NL for squats and leave you 240 NL for the deadlift. That doesn't seem like enough Squats to me, I couldn't give away more of the deadlift as I need them reps to get my deadlift up to scratch, I can't not include the squats as tbh I get problems with my knees when I just do Deadlift Plan strong alone, I need to hit both movement patterns. Im also training for my snatch test, so there's a lot of Hinge at the moment, so I would like to figure out if its ok to have both deadlift and squat in its own programme, or do I need to use the overall NL of for them both and divide them by %. Im currently following template 787A, I have no idea how to split that for both, do I just do a programme of each exercise with this template or split? I know its kinda the same questions but just wanted to check.
I also see a lot about using 6 lifts per session, im guessing 1 PS lift and then 5 other lifts that support your goals in other training methods?
I seem to have all the other SFL requirements met 4 months out, just really need to figure this out as I can't finish the plan until I know.
Many thanks in advance everyone
