would it be fine to add romanian deadlift for my hammys and remove powerclean? i kidna hate powercleans.

was in Panama City this past week, and the "weight room" they had had no barbells so i tried my best to do exercises that resembled the exercises i would be doin. But i don tthink its worth a log, more of a get a light exercise in so i dont lose much progress.

Cool cool man something is usually better than nothing As for your romanian deadlifts vs powercleans question have you thought of doing high pulls?

High Pull

This guy should be more explosive though:
YouTube - high pulls

It's basically a clean but without the catch, much easier to learn and it will build explosive strength.

ive been told i have near perfect clean technique, but i just dont like the exercise, dont feel like im getting a workout, ill try the high pull tho. I was tryin to find a hammy exercise to compliment the squat.

There have been lots of articles saying that nearly all the explosive power part comes from the actual pull, the catch that comes with the clean will build strength but if you want the explosiveness for sports the high pull is great, I love them!

Stiff legged deadlifts are great for hammies.

Yeah but they sure as hell aren't a replacemnt for cleans lol! However I solely did sldl's for a month or so and gained 40 pounds on my deadlift.....

nothing can really replace cleans besides maybe a high pull or snatch- then again idk. Depends on goals.

Having said that, he asked about hammies and SLDLs definitely hit them hard. Also, there were definitely more factors that went into helping your deadlift 40 lbs including (probably) your form.

No not my form lol that was a while back the thing that helped was this routine:

The rows, good morning, curl grip lat pulls, plus sldl's all shot my deadlift up

Have any ideas for bench? I was looking around for some assistance work for benching while waiting for my dentist appointment lol. I think I am going to drop the weight and focus on form (not following the 5/3/1 template for it) and also maybe some higher rep stuff. I think since I restricted myself to doing 3x3 with a given weight that it helped my strength, but i can't do that many reps... On squats/Military, that's not really a problem since i trained 5+ reps.
