Don’t know how exactly I’m going to plan de Power Cleans… I’ll check out again the 5/3/1 books and in some forums.
I think i’ll plan it as a 5/3/1, doing it 3/2/1 and percentatges a little bit higher: 90,95,100 on the last set, based on training max, and each cycle I’ll put on 2,5 kg.
My 1 RM is 80kg. If this is too much demanding I’ll lower the percentatges, but the rep scheme will remain the same.

Upper lifts seem to start stalling. When I go for higher reps with light weights it’s very difficult to do one more rep than last workout and it happens hardly never. However, when I go for lower reps with heavy weights the estimated 1 RM always go up (I’ll must be more efficient at heavy weights though).
Are you deloading and/or giving your body time to recover?

I’m in 6 week cycles, I do a deload on week 7. I try to rest when I can, I eat a lot and sleep more than 8 hours (when I started on January I weighted 70kg, now 74kg).
