I want to do another pulling movement instead of PCs so as to help recovery from deadlifts and get extra pulling volume. I'm probably going to do power snatches but, in case I can't get the form down, is there any other pulling movements that are acceptable for SS? I tried doing light 1x8 of haltings the other day as I was too lazy to try power snatches. It was a bad idea as my lower back was pretty fatigued come my next deadlifting session. Would light rack pulls be acceptable since it will spare my lower back, allow for recovery from deadlifts and help get extra pulling volume? Are partials a bad idea for a novice? What about RDLs, SLDLs etc?
I should add that I will try to do PCs at a later stage when I can get coaching from an SSC.
Thanks.
