5x5 variation

[oso0960]

I've been doing 5x5 for a while, and I'm still going to do it for a while longer because i like the template. Although I want to change the exercises because they're going stale. How does this look:

Front Squat 5x5
Incline Press 5x5
Cleans 8x3

Front Squat 4x5
Push Press 6x3
High Pulls 4x5

Front Squat 4x5, 1x3, 1x8
Incline Press 4x5, 1x3, 1x8
Cleans 8x3

I was aiming to change every exercise from what I was used to. What should I do with the cleans? ramp them up every set or sets across? maybe 6x3 cleans and a couple of sets of pullups?

Straight sets are VERY taxing. If you are making linear progress week to week then stick w/ the 'ramp up' method.

My first run of straight sets burried me.
