Hey guys.
I'm running the Texas Method right now, and it calls for 5 sets of 3 power cleans on the "Intensity Day".
Now these kinds of lifts generally focus on bar speed, so I'm wondering how I should go about measuring my progress on this lift. Should I just be moving as much weight as I can for the required sets/reps, and trying to increase each week? Or rather should I be doing some kind of timed sets with a submaximal weight? I'm not really sure how that works.
I'm also curious about whether explosive deadlifts are perhaps a better option, since increasing my deadlift is a primary goal of mine.
