I am coming back from a minor back injury so I am taking deads pretty light as I get back into them. I will be finishing up my first cycle of 5/3/1 (or rather 3/5/1) today on deads. I did my first cycle from a 3 inch deficit with a training max of 350 pounds and was hitting calculated maxes around 400. For my next cycle, I am planning on pulling from the floor and the following cycle I plan on pulling from 3 inch blocks. My question is, how much of a difference in a max should I plan for when calculating my next cycle for pulling from the floor? If I were pulling from a deficit again, I'd probably move to 360 or so, if not a bit more.
If it is of any consequence, before the injury I had pulled a 1RM of 475 and a rep max of 460x3.

Just perform a 1RM and then calculate. There's no set percentage you'll get out of moving from deficit to floor, but you should definitely be able to pull heavier.
Excuses are just tools of incompetence
Used to build monuments of nothingness
And those who specialize in the uses
Seldom achieve anything

IMHO
< 1" not enough
1-2" sweet zone
3+" can do it but it's not the same deadlift anymore.My Training Journal: http://tinyurl.com/jasons-journal
