I try and work out 3 times a week, with one session consisting of just front squats. I am thinking i could hange this to powerclen to front squat then reset the weight and go again, i really like power cleans and am missing them, i may have to lower the weight of my front squats to allow for the power clean though, i will still back squat at full load though. Thoughts?

I dont see the point personally. If your clean max is close to your front squat max then it could work. I would do one then the other.

how about actually doing cleans of the non power variety and squatting right down

Sadly lack of facilities Pikey, i dont think i can do it within the confines of my rack
