When is the last time you've been under 80 kg with a good strength level?

Nice lifts man!
Do you have any idea what your standing vertical is? It would be pretty badass to see a big guy like you dunk and shed off that "powerlifters" aren't athletic trend.

18 reps in 2 sets for chinups with +10 kg is really good

Not really. You just have to look where you've started and where you've ended up.
If you're built for squatting and you naturally squat 1.5x for the first time you ever squat, take that to 2.5x and you're going to get more athletic.
If you're not built for squatting and you naturally squat under 1x for the first time you ever squat, take that to ~2x and you're going to get more athletic.
More ability to generate tension = more potential to get more athletic. And yes, the word is "potential".

So you actually train at a hospital with a loved one sick? I would just be completely out and just focus and worry about her/him.

Well... I guess it depends on the structure of the individual. It also depends on your muscle recruitment: if you like "getting at your hamstrings" then you're going to lengthen the last step to stretch them (and also possibly bend forward at the hips a bit). If you're more glute dominant, I feel like you can take a shorter last step and emphasize the hip hyperextension instead.
