Power lifts

[Kelseyrae1]

I was just wanting to see what other women power clean and deadlift. Can anyone tell me how much they lift during repetitions on these exercises? Thanks!

Have a read of http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=123402921

Or read some of the journals.

I've wanted to power clean for years but I couldn't b/c of my pregnancies (I've seen a few CF girls do it but I wasn't comfortable with cleaning a bar over that!).

I started today actually! Just working on technique when I add them into Starting Strength in about 3 weeks. No idea what my PC numbers are, I was practicing with the oly bar + technique plates, so 25kg/55lbs x .....? Maybe 15-20? I don't remember, didn't write it down. Plus some hang cleans.

Oh, in regards to reps, 15-20 reps of a power clean is NOT what you want to do, LOL, I was just practicing and 25kg is very light for me!!!!

I would do them in the 3-5 rep max range, for me, I plan to only do triples.
