i wanted to hear thoughts on either dropping the weight (bumper plates) or lowering the weight with your body in a sorta romanian deadlift.
which is better?
with dropping the weight you are saving energy that can be used to do another clean or heavier weights
with the lowering approach you get an extra exercise with the RD but then may not have enough energy to do another rep,
or you may have no problem with cleaning 100kg but lowering it puts your body in a dangerous position if not done correctly.
i suppose it depends on your goal, if you goal for powercleaning is to improve your powerclean numbers then you should drop it, but if your powercleaning for general strength and explosiveness then i think you should lower it.
