Power Clean Progression

[tweakxc03]

Prior to beginning SS, I was doing 135 for hang clean-and-press at 5x5, failing on the press for sets 4 and 5 after about 3 reps. My clean form isn't great, but it's not horrific either I don't think. 135 wasn't bad at all for the clean portion of the lift.

On the second SS workout, I dropped the weight down to 95 pounds for the work set to get used to cleaning from the floor and work on my form. This weight felt absurdly light and felt more awkward with the timing.

I'm considering bumping the weight up to 125 tomorrow, which I expect will still feel pretty light.

For these first early workouts, does it make sense to go up in larger increments, perhaps 10 pounds per workout, until the weight gets heavier? Or will I risk getting stuck? I don't want to be too aggressive, but I wonder if I am starting out TOO conservatively in this lift compared with the others.


Weights for other exercizes in last 2 workouts:
Squats: 185
Bench: 160
Deadlift: 205
Press: 75 --> also felt pretty light.
