Power Cleans reps x sets ?
Mark,
In the book starting strength 2nd edition you show an example workout template showing that all the working sets to be done at 5 reps x 3 sets
except for the deadlift which is 5 reps x 1 set.
I also notice you have an example of Onus who does power cleans in the book at 3 reps x 5 sets.
I think you talk about that the power clean is more of a technical exercise and that if your fatigued form could be an issue.
Because I notice when im doing power cleans I get pretty tired / I run out of gas around the 3rd rep. Should I switch to 3 reps x 5 sets? I have been following the 5 x 3 routine thus far but I noticed my form was looking sloppy during my 2nd and 3rd sets on my last 2 reps on each set since I increased the weight.
Thanks,
Ronald

That's a typo in the earlier printings of the book. Reps on power cleans are always 3 in my program, and this has been corrected in the most recent printing.
