Wait, so you're saying to do them on DE days instead of speed deadlifts? That could work.. In my journal, I was thinking about doing them as another deadlift variation for ME days since I'd want to do them heavy.. Perhaps a triple and a few singles.
Right now I alternate speed days between banded DE deadlifts and SLDL's for hypertrophy. Both have helped me tremendously. The way I look at it, there's more explosion generated from doing singles with 365 lbs PLUS bands vs. doing 225 lb cleans IMHO. It might be possible to substitute powercleans instead of SLDL's for a month here and there. That way I'd be alternating every other week between banded speed deadlifts and powercleans. In THIS case, I'd probably look to do a few sets of 5 for hypertrophy.
In my case, the only way these could benefit me is if I could rotate them into my Max Effort days with some sort of frequency. Since I haven't done them before, I'd probably get flattened if I did them only once a month!
