Workout Notes:

You are not on the clock today, but stay busy. 

It is usually a better idea to slow up and concentrate on form vs. going hard at the clock when you are performing heavy deadlifts and power cleans back to back.  That being said, there are exceptions to every rule.  By the way, "heavy" is a relative term here.  Some of you will want/need to go heavier.  If the recommended weights above are well within your wheel house - don't be shy to step up a little.

You may partition the couplet.  

It is not entirely necessary to work straight through as written as long as you are following directions from above.

You'll need to watch your low backs today.  Concentrate on keeping a perfect inward curve (neutral spine) to your low back while doing deadlifts and power cleans.  Don't lose focus once you get tired.

Grip strength will also become an issue if you don't space out some pull centric lifts with some push centric lifts.  So, keep that in mind also.
