you have to define what oly lifts are, as well. are they the classic lifts, or variations? You may see them doing something like high pulls to replace speed deadlifts. It seems like at least half of them follow the conjugated protocol, or are at least familiar with westside if they're using bands and chains. So, chances are, they are doing things like power cleans or high pulls, and not snatches.

I would bet if they took a poll of elite power lifters in the US, at least 80% would use box squats in some shape or form, probably 20% or less would use oly variations, and 60-70% would use bands or chains in some form.
