I've been reading the Bill Starr DF 5x5 training programs and Mark Rippetoe's programs about Olympic lifts.
I've been thinking, and I would like to ramp up my clean power so I can clean 225 for 5x5. Then take that and try and build more endurance on top of it, but that's another story.
My question is for the Bill Starr DF 5x5 program he states,..

Does this mean if I'm going to incorporate Power cleans I have to also incorporate High Pulls or can I have Deads and Cleans? I don't mind doing High Pulls because it does help with Cleans I just don't want my Deads to go down in weight.
OR
Should I use a different workout that would incorporate OL better? I havent' got a chance to read on Glenn Pendlay's routines so I don't know if his would be better or Bill's.
