    Default Power Clean on 531 Deload

    I perform them before deadlifts. How should I treat these on deload week?
    I'm inclined to think that they are light, so no need to lower the weight, just the volume. Would this be ok?

    Thanks!

    Moderate volume/moderate weight, work on perfecting technique. You are unlikely to "overtrain" on powercleans unless volume is just excessive.

    A true state of overtraining is doubtful with high rep cleans because the weight is so light, but certainly there could be lots of inflammatory issues.

    I actually like high rep olympic lifts for conditioning for certain sports. I just got done training a BJJ player for the Pan Am Games and we did alot of high rep hang cleans as part of his conditioning.
