This workout is a twist on a past open workout the power cleans are switched out for the deadlifts. If my goal back 6 years ago when I created this workout was to provide a similar stimulus to the original workout, this one would have failed for sure. Even if the power clean is lighter than the deadlift weight the energy expenditure is so much different on each movement. The main reason being one movements range of motion is much larger and requires both a dynamic concentric and eccentric portion. The actual movements the power clean is very similar to a box jump, making each movement affect each other even more than a deadlift would have.
If I were to rewrite this workout I would keep the reps lower on the power cleans to make up for the larger range of motion than there were on the deadlift
