I am still a little unclear on the 50-80% stock allocation. Especially if this would be fixed at the beginning of retiremtn based on current conditions or if it would be adjusted as circumstances change.

ataloss I am still a little unclear on the 50-80% stock allocation.
This is for the existing studies, especially the Retire Early Safe Withdrawal Rate Study. A fixed allocation was selected at the start. It was maintained through annual re-balancing. It was never changed.
The percentage that is reported as optimal has varied. IIRC, its range has been bounded by 50% and 80%.
Have fun.

ah, I see. I was confused with the 50% 80% switching posts, thinking that this range was recommended.
