Hey Fittards.
I'm getting back in to weightlifting, going to start doing Oly lifting since it's always interested me and seems like a great way to hit a lot of muscle groups in a few single lifts.
Question is, do you guys have any advice on beginner routines for Oly lifting? I've seen a few routines that are basically Snatches, C&J's, Front Squats, and overhead pushes. You guys got any suggestions though?
Whatever you do, NEVER train without a coach. Get an oly gym membership, and if there aren't any, forget about oly altogether. You can seriously harm yourself without proper coaching.

You should start by doing lots of clean pulls, snatch pulls, squats,front squats and overhead press before really getting into the classic lifts.

Oly lifts aren't really there to build muscle and you'll tend to see that people who mostly train oly lifts have bigger leg than upper body development. Every lifter you see with a body like lu or similar are doing a shitton of upper body assistance.
I'm not saying you shouldn't do them, but they're not a good muscle builder and surely not for upper body.

yeah, the chinese are famous for doing lots of assistance work. they have this theory that everything should be in balance.
and for example klokov said in one of his videos that he feels pressured to look a certain way because it's part of his brand/image now.
so basically, the oly lifters who look great do so because they train for it. the ones who only do oly lifting typically don't look that amazing.
