    Default Power Clean vs Deadlift variation

    Hi, today I finished the eighth week at Texas Method.
    Squat : 315x5
    Deadlift : 385x5
    Bench : 205x5
    Press : 130x5

    Volume :
    Squat 5x5
    Bench 5x5
    Power Clean 3x5

    Recovery :
    Squat 2x5
    Press 3x5
    Chin Ups 3xMAX

    Intensity:
    Squat 1x5
    Bench 1x5
    Deadlift 1x5

    No Assistance work and no alternating between bench and press.

    Everything goes pretty well but I have been having a lot of power issues with the Power Clean in the last two weeks to the point that I have been resting for more than 30 seconds between Repa, the deadlift has also started to be very challenging. My question is do you recommend me to go through a Deadlift variation or play with a Rep range / do a reset for Power Clean?
    what would you do ?

    Are you doing cleans for sets of 5 reps?
