Choose a load on the power cleans that can be completed in the first set in 35-45 seconds. If the power cleans start taking more than 75 seconds, reduce load. If your first or second set takes more than 6:15, customize your run or reps to stay right around 6 minutes per set. Post your times for each of the four sets, then add up all the times to post your total working time.
