I always thought there were two types: Hanging and power cleans. Hanging cleans was the type that doesn't touch the floor, and is cleaned up to your shoulders without dropping down to a full front squat. Power cleans being on the floor, cleaned up while catching it in a full front squat...

And to be honest, I did a few sets with the 185 without dropping down, and my upper back and traps really got worked HARD! So I AM going to adopt these. Since I personally would rather doing the power cleans (dropping down to a front squat), I would input them on my ME SQUAT day as my ME lift, and I would also drop any ME deadlift variation since the power cleans are basically BOTH.

For now, I am going to do these on BOTH my ME and DE BENCH days.. The Hanging Cleans anyways in order to get my form down and get more familiar with the lift. I'm good to go with everything EXCEPT for bending my wrists back balancing the bar on my delts. Just something I have to work on. At the very least, I think I MAY start off with something managable such as high pulls, which will focus on the first half of the lift anyway...

Also, I'm going to start doing some seated DB cleans to work my shoulders and upper back during my bench days as well. I figure after 30 plus weeks that I need some more variation off the well beaten path!
