If you are stuck with the same PR on Power Cleans, it's probably because you haven't added anything in to get your more adjusted to the weight while increasing your explosive power. Below are the top 3 movements we add to our athlete's program to allow them to get out of the rut and break a new PR.
Exercise 1:
2:1 Ration - High Pull/Clean
For this exercise you will do 2 High Pulls and then right into 1 Power Clean. This will allow the body to get more adjusted to the leg and hip drive needed to go for a new PR. Added Bonus: Increased Conditioning
Exercise 2:
Weighted Box Jumps with a HOLD at the bottom
Grap 2 light to medium weight dumbbells, get into a 1/4 squat and hold for 3 seconds then explode up and onto the box. By the 10th rep, your body will need to overly force your muscles to explode in order to land on the box.
Exercise 3:
10 High Pulls per missed attempt
Anytime an athlete misses a rep at a heavier weight, have them go back and hit that weight for 10 reps of High Pulls. Most times, the athlete missed the rep because they just weren't used to the additional weight on the bar. 10 Reps post missed clean will quickly get them mentally adjusted.
