I was wondering what everyones power clean to deadlift ratio was?
For some reason I’ve always thought that deadlift is around 2x powerclean(from ground). I could be wrong, so what are you power clean and deadlift numbers?
I recently powercleaned 240 from the ground. After that I pulled an easy 315x3 just cuz with a lot left in the tank with a power clean grip. Wondering what my max could be, may actually try it next week. I havent deadlifted in a couple years.
I think a good way to tell is by looking at the world records, I can’t actually find one for just the power clean but if its close to C&J its about 600lbs. So 50-60% of DL seems about right just depends how you prioritize them I guess.
It really depends how you train. An Olympic lifter will have a much stronger power clean, and a powerlifter will have a much stronger deadlift. I feel like those top Olympic lifters deadlift relatively little more than their max C+J, and the top deadlifters probably power clean a relatively small amount compared to their deadlift.
If you want to be a powerlifter, focus on bringing up your deadlift…cleans aren’t part of your total.
That being said, I power clean a little more than half my top deadlift.
810 pull and a 340 clean. I think the correlation is about zero though. Power clean form and deadlift form require completely different set-ups and completely different bar speeds.

Currently raw deadlift PR is 225 kg done in competition and power clean PR is 100 kg only, but i do not train it for example in 2010 i just tried cleans in 2 training days only.
