When performing Olympic Lifts in your program, is the bar supposed to be dropped after each rep? Ex: Clean Pulls for 5 reps at xx%, after each rep at the top is the bar dropped then another rep performed or is the bar lowered (swung) back down to the hip area to quickly do another rep? I do have bumper plates.

That is up to you. When my percentages go up I start to drop the weight so I am not putting the added pressure on my wrists, thighs or back as I lower the weight.

The #1 velocity enhancement program in the world. This program has helped hundreds reach their velocity goals. If you want to know what it is like to throw 90+mph then you must purchase this revolutionary approach to velocity TODAY!

Well yea, this is totally up to you. But for me the environment that I'm working out in doesn't support dropping of the bar. But there are benefits in dropping the bar, like not having to have any more pressure when lowering the weight, more sets maybe, but yea, the decision is totally up to you XD.

i lift in a place where im allowed to do that and i will tell you it does help take off stress on the body.. however i only drop when its a quarter of my max or higher everything else i just drop to my thigh and floor.. doesnt hurt to bad when its light and working on speed or technique.
