I can intervene here and tell you that X-trainer usually will suggest that you do some GPP related to what you did the day before.
i.e heavy squat day = do a bunch of BW squats
heavy press = pushups
pull = do some light rows
Main idea is to just get the blood flowing and heartbeat up a bit quickly in the morning, and to alleviate soreness from the workout prior.
About reps and stuff, XTrainer will sometimes do 100 BW squats and stuff in the morning. If you're just trying to increase the numbers in those 3 exercises, than more frequency could not hurt.
Now i'll let xtrainer address this...

135x5
185x3
225x2
245x2-First one didn't feel good, 2nd did.
265x1-That's more like it. This is what I missed for several weeks in a row.

245xSome, can't remember. A few short sets.

try a hook grip on the power cleans if you grip is failing at heavier weights

Bad_coupon: Thank you!
h7jb7sg1e: Thank you. I've tried hook gripping (or, at least, tried to hook grip as best as I can when learning from a book) and it is painful to me. I feel like I'm tearing off my nail! Is this normal at first? Thanks for the input.
BTW, just redid the BW deadlift challenge. 67 reps. Meh. Small improvement over last time, but I had a pretty harcore workout today so I can't complain.

Today
Good workout. I think I'm going to start alternating weeks of heavy bench/light push press, and heavy PP/light bench.
Bench
135x4
185x1
195x3
195x3
195x3-Good, never got this for 3 sets before, and the second set a few weeks ago was iffy. These all felt really solid today.
185x3
Pause reps: 185x1, 3 or 4 times, limited rest (~30 sec)
175x5+
135x8(No rest).>I was really tired for these final back-off sets. The pause reps took a toll on me.
*This space normally reserved for chins, but I'm going to go for a new rep max tomorrow, so not today*
Push Press (Light, which is all I can manage after bench anyway).
95x2
135x2
155x1-Eew. Felt like crap.
155x2-Much better.
155x2
155x2
155x2
155x2
135x1+5 Pressouts
Skullcrusher/Pullover supersets (90lbs/60lbs, 5-8 rep range)
Some bike, core work later.
