The lunge is like a genuflect (Roman Catholics can relate :-)), but with
weights, usually.... you put one foot forward and come down until your
back knee just touches the floor. You do so many with one leg forward,
then switch legs, and do so many on the other.

The power clean is the first part of the "clean ands jerk" movement.
You pull the bar forcibly, "with everything you got", as high as you
have to in order that you can get your hands/shoulders _under_ it before
it starts to come back down. This is a great power builder, but I cannot
see this as being any easier on your knees than squats.

As far as glute development, your comments suggest that you are trying to
some fat in this area. If that be the case, then you would have more success
by adding/increasing the aerobics in your workout schedule and watching the
fats/sweets in your diet. In my rather biased opinion, cycling has got to
be one of the best quad-shaping/butt-reducing activities known to man!
By all means, give it a try, and _seek out_ those hills :-).
