Juggernaut, the said...

for cleans, was that 6 sets of 3, or 3 sets of 6?

6 sets of 3 reps (I try to always list as Weight x Sets x Reps)

Cleans are an explosive movement, I don't see any point in doing more than 3 reps with them. They don't benefit from time under tension like the powerlifts, IMO.
