Deadlift (up to knees)

I've always assumed it was deadlift, stop just before your sticking point for a couple of seconds and finish the rep. Is this correct? Some say you pause then just lower the bar without finishing the lockout. Thanks

I belive that is the correct way to perform the deadlift to knee, atleast thats how ive done it since i started training Sheiko.

That is correct. Sometimes confused with:

Deadlift (pause at the knees)

which is a full deadlift.

I think the confusion derives from some of the early translations that were on elitefts which got the two movements mixed up.

Thanks for the replies guys. Another quick question, in the CMS 9 week cycle found on elitefts, the programme has a lot of lateral side raises. What are the purpose of these?
