First thing, I am not at a gym where I can drop the barbell on my power cleans. I like doing cleans but feel like the limiting factor is being able to lower the weight after each rep without beating up my shoulders and wrists. In other words, I feel like I am stalling on cleans because the weight is too heavy for me to get back to the floor in a controlled manner.
Second thing: I feel like my lower back is getting a little beat up from doing dead lifts twice a week, and maybe it is time to decrease frequency.
So, I am thinking of trying this plan:
Monday: Squat, Press, Dead lift
Wednesday: Squat, Bench, Glute-Ham Raise
Friday: Squat, Press, Pull ups
The next week I switch the Press and Bench but keep the rest the same. Rinse and repeat.
Thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
