Olympic weightlifters train squats like crazy motherfuckers, movements are quick so they aren't that good for adding muscle mass, also good luck learning them without a coach.

But if you want to commit to this sport then you should probably start learning technique as early as possible, but don't neglect your squats and don't expect to have nice pecs without some pushing.

Just do the LSUS program

If you're an absolute beginner wanting to compete in the Olympic lifts, then yes, its best to learn the movement patterns of the snatch and clean and jerk early, but squatting and general strength are very important. Squats, pulls, presses, etc. build strength, and the Olympic lifts are an expression of said strength, as well as muscle coordination and explosiveness.

Currently trying to do the hang clean and honestly, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

Any time you clean you're doing a deadlift, essentially. And also front squatting. Honestly, oly lifts are like a combo of various compound exercises.

I'd say pressing exercises need added though. If you're going for a well-rounded physique.
