When training for speed with power cleans you need to keep the rep range around 1-2, 3 at the most. If you do 5 reps, yes your gonna slow down because its taxing on the body. Power clean is a excellent explosive speed movement if used properly. Well the problem is your probally power cleaning like a bodybuilder would.

Hipflexors can be trained in a gym. 4-way hip machines are designed with this in mind. You can also use your body weight by peforming reverse abdominal curls from a dip machine/apparatus or while lying on your back. The incorrect way that most people try perform ab exercises can also train the iliopsoas muscle groups. 2.Power= weight/ time. power is how quickly you can lift something. Strength is how slowly you can lift a weight. One repitition performed as fast as you can trains power and speed, not strength and endurance. 3. Of course you are slower after weight training. It's called fatigue! Fatigue is needed to overload the muscle and nervous system. Progessive overload is implemented by starting with a tolerable stimulus and gradually increasing over a set time. I believe in isometric training, but I also believe in power training and plyometrics. each has its place in a complex training progam. Diffeent phases require different % of stimuluses. 1.
