Yeah forget the flyes keep the bench. You can do some flyes after you bench if you think it won't impact your recovery too much but I wouldn't screw with it.

Well your basic 3x5 with power cleans would look something like this:

Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 1x5

Workout B Squat 3x5
Military Press 3x5
Power Clean/Row 3x5

You see the rows are to replace the power cleans not the deadlifts. Power cleans are great dynamic strength movement and are VERY complimentary to the deadlift but the dl’s are a much better mass builder allowing much more weight. You can replace rows with power cleans but I wouldn’t drop deadlifts. Rows, imo, are going to be a better mass builder, however, than power cleans, but don’t quote me on that ;).

If you increase the squat to 5x5 then you may want to have the deadlift day be either a lower volume squat day or a ligher squat day so that you can lift to your optimum on deadlift and keep the squats moving.

But I wouldn't recommend altering the program for no reason. Why don't you tell us what's going on?

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
