ReStarting Strength. Need program design help

[theblackkeys]

So I think I'm going to follow starting strength and just skip squats and do knee rehab like cbloom said. That means I'll be doing deadlifts three times in a two week period, which I think is fine I guess.

I also will be doing pullups, and probably the dips as well. I want to be able to do a set of eight bodyweight pullups and chinups. Right now I can do 2 chinups in a row. So that's one of my primary goals.

I went to the gym with my buddy today, and showed him the starting strength routine, taught him how to squat, deadlift, power clean (kinda), and bent over row. Gave him my copy of starting strength. I had to do a few sets of bodyweight and empty bar squats, and I didn't get any irritation or cracking on the way up. That's a good sign, but nonetheless I am not going to be squatting. Deadlifts felt good as far as my knee goes, so I think I will be able to get a decent work out in.

Question about the power clean:
So basically you do a deadlift, and as soon as it clears your knee you basically "jump", shrug, and then get under the bar. AMIRITE? Is there a better way to think about the lift? Am I supposed to do a mini knee dip before I jump?
