Is there a reason that less emphasis is placed on deadlifts and the military press in Bill Starr's 5x5? Why exactly do those exercises only get one work day per week versus the bench press and barbell row which get two work days each? It seems like they should at least rotate where the deadlift/military get two days one week, and then the bench/row get two days the next (like the Rippetoe format).
Also, why is it that the power cleans were replaced by the barbell row in the Madcow version of the 5x5?
