front squats before deads question

[anotherbutters]

The SF 5x5 has you doing front squats before deads on Wednesdays. I've just tried cleaning the weight from the floor to do the squats, but I was wondering, is it wise to do this before deads? Or is it best to unrack the weight? Does it really matter for deads? I know deads before squats is bad.

ON my Wed day I do

Overhead/front squats
Bench
Deads
Chins

and this has not affected my deading ability enough for me to want to change it.

I never felt that I suffered during the Korte doing Squats, Bench, Deadlift, except the once, of course, but it's really the cleans that you're asking about. I can front squat more than I can clean by a long way so I don't have this issue.

I suggest trying it and seeing whether it affects you. For the sake of a few individual cleans, though, I'd just take it from the rack and avoid the whole question.

Yeah, I realised this later, so I'll probably go back to taking it out of the rack. It's funny, I cleaned the bar pretty well because I was thinking about the front squats rather than cleans!
