Having just starting learning o-lifts, I have to also agree that they are ANYTHING but easy!! My coach spends so much time on technique with me....over and over again. Prior to my formal training, I *thought* I was doing power cleans correctly. Wrong. Basically, everything I was doing was wrong! I would say that learning o-lifts is the hardest thing I have tried to learn. And, I think that anyone who just gets a few minutes of training or reads about it in a book would never be able to execute an olift properly. At least that's certainly been my eye-opening experience.

ETA: With the above being said, I was going to check out a local crossfit class and now I am wondering if I should! I may be the only one there really concentrating on form and technique during any of the olifts!
