Starting Strength pic.template thingy

2 plates for the squat, 3 plates for the bench, but just one plate for the deadlift in that pic? Poor newb must be awfully imbalanced.
 
I'm yet to see a novice be able to power clean.

99% of people that follow this program are complete novices and a proper power clean isn't something most people can just do.

After 6 months of doing deadlift-reverse curls they come to me for technique work.
It is MUCH harder to teach people how to do them properly once they have been doing it wrong for months/years on end.

Squat, bench, deadlift, row, press, chin, that's all a novice needs.

Too true my brother

when it's was time for me to learn the power clean, I should be squatting and deadlifting over 220 and benching over 130.
My point?

A decent strength foundation is already in place and often doing first things first will take you farther than jumping on the esoteric bandwagon when it goes by.
 
So a better workout would be

A
Squat 3 x 5
Bench 3 x 5
Deadlift 1 x 5
Chins 2 x 5

B
Squat 3 x 5
Press 3 x 5
Row 3 x 5
 
Maybe for just walking around strong you could do this?

Monday
Squat
Dumbbell Press
Farmer's Walk

Wednesday
Bench Press
Dumbbell Row
Swing

Friday
Get-Up
Deadlift
Dumbbell Curl
