Power cleans and barbel rows on 5 v 5

[AEKDB]

I love power cleans but, power cleans in place of dead lifts is blasphemy! If you clean a weight it is also sacrilegious not to press it overhead (or at least attempt to).

I do rows and cj's in the same workout.

the Starr 5x5 had no deadlifts, and considering Weds. is light day, i don't see any reason not to replace them with powercleans. i love deadlifts but after 4 or 5 weeks of pr's on every lift they get very taxing!
adding the push press to the clean is a great idea.

Bill Starr had high pulls instead of deadlifts and had the power cleans the other day. Deadlifts were a substitute for power cleans. It's interesting. I never looked at this before, just Madcow's stuff.
