    Squats, Power Cleans, and Hang Cleans

    So I started to do my squats and cleans.

    My question is how I should be doing these? I mean like sets?

    I want to increase my max on each.

    Right now I am squatting a mere 205 and cleaning only 125.

    I want to gain enough to be squatting 315 about 3-5 times, and cleaning 185 5 times.

    That is my goal. Max goals-350 squat, and 205 clean.

    I really want to just do that.

    Should I be following the 5x5 lift?
    As I understand it, it goes 1 set with weight 5 times
    Increase 5lbs and do 5, and so on.

    So in my case it would look like this:
    Cleans start 95 x5, 100x5, 105x5, 110x5, and 115x5, I alternate 2 set power cleans, 2 set hang cleans, and 1 set military cleans.
    Squat 120x5, 125x5, 130x5, 135x5, 140x5

    But then the next day so m, then w,
    I would do, Squat 4x8, and Cleans 4x8.

    I started to do this routine, wondering if it will work. I know to gain that much weight on my maxes will take time, I'm not looking for some sure fire way to gain 100lbs of max in 4 days, I just want to know what is the best way to increase my maxes?
