It depends. Right now, I'm just doing TBDLs as secondary work and I'm feeling out stuff after being sick. Typically for secondary stuff, I would do about 5 sets of triples, increasing weight to a point where a triple is hard to do.
A couple months ago when I ran a cycle of TBDLs as primary, I did as I would with DLs (85% x 2 x 2 week 1, 87.5% x 2 x 2 week 2, etc...). My goal TBDL weight is based on my estimated DL max. When I'm doing TBDLs on a regular basis, my estimated 1RM is probably close to my DL 1RM divided by 84%. That percent varies based on how good a person is at TDBLs. Most of the people I know would not have as big a difference between DLs and TBDLs as I do because my TBDL form is very good, and it takes a while to learn.
edit: I remember coming up with something a little different for that last primary TBDL program. I think I posted the plan last early to mid December here.
