I'm not sure how good an idea cluster sets on deadlifts are.  I love cluster sets, as I've noted before, it's just that deadlifts require a massive CNS output, and doing them at 90% of your max is still a shit ton of stress on it.   On HPS just didn't have enough bar speed. On the power cleans on the 225, I caught my right pinky and caught the bar awkwardly on my right shoulder...it was ugly.  My right pinky hurts now, hopefully that doesn't set back the healing. It's sore as heck after this...I think it's bruised. I also woke up Saturday with a huge bruise on my right shoulder...but it doesn't hurt..maybe a blood blister?
