You can sub barbell rows for power cleans.
It may feel silly starting with 135 that first week while you are still trying to get comfortable squatting. However just remember that you are going to add five pounds to that every workout. If you squat 3 days a week for six weeks your 3x5 will be at 225.

Yeah, um I actually started with less than that.
I watched Mark Rippetoes videos on all the big lifts and I feel comfortable that my technique on deadlifts, press, and bench is good. I always knew something needed tweaking on my squat but wasn't sure what. I think the way he explained it may have helped. We'll see when I get back higher in weight. I've done some practice power cleans with an empty bar, going kinda slow. The catch doesn't feel right. I'm going to deadlift every workout for now as is instructed until the weight gets higher and I'll do some practice cleans every workout too.
