Yeah it works well now. In the last week it's been very slow though.

How are you doing your power cleans? From hang or from the ground? Since you didn't say "hang power cleans" I assume from the ground.
If you do them from the hanging position, then I found out that it's best to do singles instead of more reps. For me, whenever I do even two reps the amount of fatigue I get in my hands becomes a very limiting factor in actual power expression in the clean itself. The bar starts to feel heavier and heavier every second I stay with it in my hands and the arms start to wander around in bad, weird positions.
So today I did singles (3x1 instead of 1x3) with like 20 seconds or so breaks in between, and all my reps were explosive and powerful. Just something to think about.

That's the toughest question you could ask me... because I've been battling this all my life (but never really put the effort to correct it).
Maybe one way would be to strengthen the hamstrings AND the glutes... and to stretch the heck out of your rectus femoris and hip flexors in general all day long, every day. Foam roll, blah blah... but who has the time for that from a practical standpoint?

Is it just for me? It takes like half a minute to a minute to load a post or whatever

Damn... you could gain quite a bit just improving your hip hyperextension ROM IMO... there's room for that there (how many times I've said that?)

To be honest... I have yet to find a weight at the RDL that challenges me legs-wise... it's always a matter of losing my grip with them, never me not being able to do them.

To me, it sounds awesome!
That eccentric control that you're going to gain doing sprints and all the other stuff you're not really accustomed to will give you an "extra dimension" if you will. You might be surprised.
