I believe 2-3 years ago, they recommended 80%, then went lighter, and lighter, etc. Although I do my DE differently. I work from 30% to 90%. Not very dynamic, but according to research, it is the intent to produce acceleration that matters. Of course, if I am run down, I do not do this. Most people that squat 700lbs + can not do this 2X per week. Westside gets a lot of crap for this. People saying it is "wrong" because they squat 2X per week. However, they do not squat ME twice a week, and that is why the system works, regardless of what these people say. -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

I would rather err on the side of being too light than too heavy though. If you can ever get a chance to use a tendo unit then you will not need to use percentages. My best power numbers occur between 47-55%. I am sure everyone is different though.

You could find it cheaper I am sure, but then... I'll stick with what feels right and percentages. -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.
