Power Cleans

[Jonathan]

Coach

During one of the roundtable interviews, you mentioned have success training military types by squatting on M & F and DL on W. I've been following this type of program for the last 3 months with some good success but I've ommitted power cleans.

Should I add them in? When do you recommend?

Extra details below...

Not sure it matters, but my conditioning is 3-4 times a week. Usually 2 short (10-12 min) sessions and 1 run (2-3 miles) a week. Normally the conditioning is follows my lifting, but occasionally its on an off day. My diet is pretty strict (no sugar, only clean carb sources) since waist measurment is a key component or our AFPT, but I don't think it's getting in the way of progress.

In John Shaefer's Greyskull Linear Progression program, he recommends Squats on Mon and Fri with deadlifts Wednesday, and says that powercleans can be used as a warmup for deadlifts, generally as singles. I haven't tried it personally though.
