how long will it take to get my power clean from 185 to 225?

[sekaonayr]

srs. i just cleaned 185 this morning for the first time. it was also my first time cleaning in 4 months (old max = 145 lol) how long do you think it'll take till i clean 225 if im cleaning once a week. (heavy) sets of 1-2 reps.

theres sooo many variables. anyone who gives you a definate answer to this question doesnt have a clue

[BATTIS]

try a different set/rep sheme, like for me i am on a 5x5 workout routine. Percentage's in order are 80%, 85%, 90%, 85% 80% of my 1 rep max. This has worked great for me as my power clean went from 185 to 220 during the season and i could jerk it as well. Also really try to focus on great form too when doing power cleans. Hope this helped.

start low and go up 110-15lbs per attempt.

Now remember that you are 15yrs old and strength can come quickly. So adjust the #'s so that they are not too easy on the days you attempt 1-3 reps.

Why do you do power cleans?

[Iriart]

Depends how hard you work.

[derekrogers1]

Depends how hard you work.

agreed

There's no exact answer to this question but it does truly depend on how hard you work. If you take your time and don't really care, it could take months. However, if you work hard, you could reach these goals within a month or so.
