If you can't clean it up to your chest you should stick to the machines.

You should be using a completely different grip for overhead press and clean

What? How are you gripping your cleans and overhead presses?

I was mostly joking, but standing ohp isn't a great option for your shoulders.

True. I usually opt for something different, but if you need to go heavy rack

Thumbs down for the deadlift only. Where else are you supposed to DL?

If your gym doesn’t have deadlift zones you need to find a new gym
