You're training doesn't seem to have much to do with powerlifting. You do all high reps.

Cleans should never be done at 10 reps. That's just wrong. If you can do that much at 10 you need to up the weight and do sets of 3 or so.

Not sure what you are asking in regard to seated cable rows. They are primarily an upper back/lat movement.

There is no one to one correlation between lifting ability and muscle size. There are just too many variables. But nothing sounds really off to me if that makes you feel better. Leverage and other things plays into it and it depends on the type of hypertrophy that has contributed to one's size. If a lot of one's size comes from sarcoplasmic hypertrophy that will have no impact on absolute strengnt. But there is always a mixture.

Like thonaker said you'll see heavy squatters with skinny legs. Which usually really means skinny quads. Especially powerlifters. That is because they sometimes rely on a very strong push out of the bottom to accelerate up through the movement. Putting much of the emphasis on glutes and hams.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
