We NEVER did Front Squats back in the day, so those are much better now. I really only started doing Front Squats at all when I was 40. I stopped training seriously when I was relatively young, so my current level of Back Squats are similar to what I was doing then. My overhead tosses are also similar. My jumps are definitely at a lower level, but this is probably mostly to do with a much higher level of bodyweight/bodyfat than I had back then, affecting my relative strength and power.

Box Power Cleans (practising hook grip with release in high rack position, in kg) - 50x5x2, 70x3, 80x3, 90x2, 100x1x12

Felt great with very solid rack, but I need to drop the weight which I obviously never do when wearing straps. I am going to try to keep doing these whenever possible.

Power Cleans (hook grip, dropping weight each rep, in kg) - worked up to 100kg for 5 sets of 3

That's it. Just a quick workout!

Box Power Cleans (hook grip, from well above knee, dropping weight each rep, in kg) - worked up to 90kg for 6 sets of 5

More Power Cleans using hook grip, this time up to 110kg for a few singles and then down to 100kg for some more triples, dropping the weight each rep.
