did your programming pass the novice stage (basically unable to add weight to the bar every workout, and require a weekly increase)?
i assume that your focused on driving the squat and deadlift in order to drive the power clean...
i have a lot of questions, sorry.
Yes, I moved pass the novice stage and into the next stage following this book: Practical Programming for Strength Training
This is the next book in the series after Starting Strength.

I lifted heavy for 4 years straight with minor breaks here and there. My last season was the first one where I did all of my strength training on the bike...and that's when I started I hit over 2,100W regularly. Crazy how that works.

They write:
Each of these exercises elicits a significant strength adaptation but does require competent coaching to learn safely. The squat is the cornerstone of any good strength program and we refer you to "Starting Strength, 3rd Ed" by Mark Rippetoe as the most through and important book on this subject.
If you're going to train for strength, that book needs to be in your library.

As Brian mentions, anything over 5 reps is not strength but strength-endurance. That generally happens on the bike for like a standing half-lap effort.
