    Default Alternative for power clean

    Hello my SS program looks like this :

    A:
    Squat - 3 sets 5 reps
    deadlift - 1 set 5 reps
    bench press - 3 sets 5 reps

    B:
    Squat - 3 sets 5 reps
    deadlift - 1 set 5 reps
    overhead press - 3 sets 5 reps

    and my weights is : squat 60kg deadlift 75kg bench press 40kg
    overhead press 30kg

    and I tried last week to replace the deadlift in Workout B# with pull ups in gravitron machine but I started to stuck in the overhead press and even to loss gains(dropped from 6.25kg every side to 5kg every side)
    and I thought that this drop in overhead press happened because the pull ups in gravitron machine that I added.
    Also , I can't do powerclean(I tried to learn from youtube and even the official DVD of Starting strength but no success and I need something to put in Workout B# instead of the deadlift but not power clean or pull ups so my routine should look like
    this :
    A:
    Squat - 3 sets 5 reps
    deadlift - 1 set 5 reps
    bench press - 3 sets 5 reps
    B:
    Squat - 3 sets 5 reps
    Something which is not deadlift, powerclean or pull ups that I tried but doesn't work well
    overhead press - 3 sets 5 reps

    Waiting for your comments

    They already did. About 400 times. Look it up.

    Why can’t you do the power clean? Where are you struggling with this exercise? Is it age or injury that’s stopping you? I learned but it took me months; I still learned. Get a form check on this forum and see if you can make it work.
