General thoughts on swapping deadlifts for power cleans in progressions?
Was watching an interview with Robert Oberst and he basically said doing deadlifts if you’re not competing is not worth it. He recommended power cleans instead. I’ve never had issues with injuries from DL but it had me curious so figured I’d poll the group for some thoughts.

I honestly have never done power cleans, so I have no opinion on the matter unfortunately. I feel like they are two totally different movements though. Power cleans are for more explosive power whereas Deadlifts are just for strength.
I do compete occasionally, so deadlifts have to stay in the rotation. I have had a back injury, but it was from ego lifting on OHP, never from deadlifts.

DL is my favorite lift. I also think being able to pick up heavy items from the ground is beneficial from a quality of life perspective, especially as we age.
I suspect I'll be fine as long as I maintain good form and don't ego lift.

Maybe deadlifting as heavy as you can isn't worth it. I've been deadlifting for 15 years and never hurt my back.
I've also never deadlifted heavy enough to think I was going to piss myself or make my nose bleed. That is dumb

what is the goal? if its veritcal power....sure power clean is fine as are trap bar jump variations
if its overall strength and force production than Deadlift or trap bar deads is better.
if its overall fitness combined with strength in the off the floor lift...farmers walks are going to be better
for the everyday person trap bar deads are going to be easier to perform while staying in line. but there is nothing inherently dangerous about deads so long as form remains perfect.
not sure what context robert oberst is speaking of though.
but to his point...are they needed for hypertrophy...no, along with any exercise. are they an absolute for strength...again no like all exercises. are they needed for rate of force development or development of the hip hinge....again no like all exercises.

Today's lifts:
Squat: 315 x 3 x 5
Standing OHP: 135 x 5 x 5
Power cleans: 85 x 5 x 3
Was able to lift 36 pounds with my right hand with my 2-inch grip block. My best before today was 28.5. I was able to lift 31 pounds today with my left hand.
I just got my #1 CoC gripper earlier this week. I closed it once for half a second.
I had trouble closing the Trainer gripper when I first got it but can do so easily now, so hopefully I'll also improve with the #1.

I've tried to do power cleans but don't really like them. I've started and stopped a few times. I'm in a starting phase now. We'll see how long I stick with it.
I don't compete and am not planning on doing so but deadlifts are my favorite lift so I'm not planning on giving those up. I also tend to think they'll help your overall health and strength more than power cleans. Being stronger would make you less prone to injury. No particular lift is absolutely necessary to build strength and deadlifts would fall into that category. However, deadlifts, along with the squat, bench, and standing OHP will help you build overall strength faster than most other lifts.
I guess it all depends on your own goals and how much you like each lift.

Yeah, I don’t really plan on stopping them because I feel like they’re great for overall strength.
However, I am going to look to start incorporating power cleans for conditioning days.
