Strength increases looking good, the weight your moving around is much heavier then before.

thanks IBB, but yeah, our weight training coach is going nuts trying to get us ready for the comp in a month. Power Cleans should be fun tommorrow, my last set will probably be insane. lol.
 
We are switching up the routine for the next three weeks, we are doing bench twice a weeks now and after 3 weeks we will be doing power cleans twice a week. After each cycle we are going to remax the lift we were doing twice a weeks so he can keep the teams updated. So I get to squat max again on Wed.

275x3
315x3
365x1
385x2 (410 squat on the rep max calc)
 
 
Coach was giving us the up signal to make sure we were going low enough, and he made me do both reps almost full ROM, well below parallel. Hopefully I will be able to put up more than that in a few weeks at the meet only having to go to parallel.

How much do you deadlift?

No idea, I have only done it a few times, and that was last semester. The heaviest I ever went was 365x2 or 3. I don't know my actual max though.

Nice, I wish I would have done cleans and deadlifts when I started working out. Just started doing them a month ago there going up fast but still below my bench press weight lol.

You and I both.

Cleans go up really fast when you first start. I remember when I first started doing them and I only maxed 155. At the end of that year I was putting up around 205 I think.
 
It sucks when you finally hit a wall with them though. I cannot tell you how long I was stuck at 270. lol.
 
Keep at em though, they are a great exercise.

This is pretty normal from what I have seen. There are very few people at my school who can clean more than they bench press. I know there is me and a linebacker that is in my weight training class who can clean more than we bench, but everyone else is either just under or nowhere close to being able to put up as much on cleans as they can on bench.
