    | power cleans vs deads i'm not sure if this is the right section but i have done deadlifts for the last few years but in the last month or two i have been doing power cleans, all be it with pi55 poor weights but i am just wondering everyones opinions on power cleans as a replacement for deadlifts i'm a big believer in doing exercises you enjoy, i am enjoying the PC's more then deads but do want to get the better option i'm currently cutting |

| Re: power cleans vs deads Oly lifts are more power-builders on the whole. Deadlifts are more for strength/size although it does not hurt to change up your routine now and again. HTH Jock

| Re: power cleans vs deads cheers for the reeplies, i am trying to alternate the two each week (on back day) but i made a beginners error and let it go on 6 weeks just doing power cleans so when i realised this i tried deads and lost about 20kg off the weight which was nice |

| Re: power cleans vs deads Quote:
i'm also doing the little dip at the top prior to lowering the weight again the weights on the deads dropped loads, so im considering dropping the reps from 4x10 to a 5x5 maybe to get the poundages up again | |

| Re: power cleans vs deads theres is no vs in this , as the both of them should be done (in moderation to what you want to achieve) but they are both good for strength and also trying to bulk  Now rep me lol

| Re: power cleans vs deads Why not just do a typical "everything from the floor" workout? Start with an easy powerclean weight, add 5-20kg each set, depending on your strength, and move from powercleans, to full cleans, to high pulls, to powershrugs to deadlifts as the load gets heavier. Job done. cheers, G |

 | Re: power cleans vs deads I went to cleans and my dead lift went up. I think this was because I was trying to get as much bar speed as possible. I would do them both. I do clean and jerks for shoulders. I do stiff leg deads for hams. I do deads for back. I do swap them around some.
