Do you stretch much pal? For me if I want to squat week in week out I have to stretch the shit out of my legs and do multiple low weight warm up sets before upping the weight, especially at the knees. Your glutes might be the same way like my knees? I am kind of the same way with cleans too, a lot of times I just get oddball pains in my back or hands/forearms at first but after lots of stretching (I stretch in between sets a lot too) and some warm-ups it goes away.
One of the best ham stretches you can do is to straighten one leg out in front of you on a table or something like you are just kicking forward and lean forward and grab the toes. Hold it for 10-20 seconds. Do it again. Do a set. Do it again. Unless you do this already?
