How do I get into Olympic lifts /fit/? Today I was playing around with the idea. So I would clean, then front squat, then press with a bit of momentum. Is there a guide online? I've watched some videos, but I feel like the lifts are so specific I'm going to snap my shit if I do it wrong. Any suggestions?
It was so fucking cool to pick something up from the ground and press it over my head. I felt strong. No one else at the gym knows anything about Olympic lifting, I've never seen anyone clean, and people rarely deadlift. Some dyel actually shouted "nice one dude!" When I did it.

But really, start with overhead squat, learn the snatch, learn the clean, and squat a hell of a lot. They're fun as shit.

Do you turn into the guy that never leaves the deadlifting platform?
Do I vary my squat? Back, front, overhead? Each one once a week?
Is there a book?

get a coach to teach you proper-ish form, even if he's not very good you just need to get the basics down and then once you have a reasonably good grasp of the snatch and the c+j you can look into more advanced and in-depth tutorials online
Will olympic lifting get me an aesthetic physique? Not 100% aesthetics just to where i look good. Post average Olympic lifter??

everything you need to know straight from olympic gold medalist. pretty much all videos have english subtitles apart from few very old ones
other than that, look at some klokov seminars too for even more information

Weightlifting is an awesome sport but it's not really going to build a physique by itself. A lot of weightlifters look dyel (and some look fukkin awesome) It's a weight class sport so being big isn't always an advantage.
Weightlifting + extra hypertrophy work + strict diet and you're on to something
