"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Different excercise hit the back differently. So switch it up with pull-ups, t-bar rows, the one arm rows, back pushups, etc. The more you change up with the dif types i just told you, the more efficient your workouts will be(and you will actually get bigger). Good luck with it!

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Pendlay or Bent Rows (or power cleans)
**2x8 Chin-ups (recommended mainly if doing the cleans)
I didn't realize cleans were the preferred exercise, I was just going by what the routine said.
I guess I'll need to start doing cleans then.

I personally don't do power cleans even though I tried to because i've had an issue with my right biceps near my elbow for years. Cleans really makes it ache. Maybe it's a form issue of bending my elbow too soon, but the issue was around before i even tried them, but very few things aggravates it and cleans and throwing a baseball too many times are two of them.
If you can, learn to do power cleans and add some chins.
Actually, i do power clean my sets of the press often.
I don't really see a big deal in rotating out any of the different type of rows movements. Do whatever row you want until it stalls and then change to another one. I did bb rows, then chest supported rows for 2 months, and am now doing db rows. But really, if you're gonna row stick with bb rows. It shouldn't really get stuck early in your career. I 'pendlay' row over 200 for 5x5 and i never did other rows until recently.
Go out of your way to get chins up too. They'll probably help more than rows will. I wish i'd paid more attention to them a few years ago.
DON'T **** WITH THIS ROUTINE! Every jackass thinks he's smarter than Rippetoe. You're not. Do his thing until you've made it through the program, and then consider switching to an "intermediate program."
...or prove that you think you know better than him, and make the substitution. the choice, of course, is yours. as mr. ruckus points out, LOTS of people think they're smarter than mr. rippetoe.

back to the op. crossfit.com has good videos which shows you how to learn cleans.
the opposite of these statements is true...Flyer said:cleans/powercleans are harder to learn/do than rows in general.. I havnt been to bb.com but it sounds like it's for bodybuilders.
