Jane, check out this video of my Client Jeff learning how to clean on his first day- he started at age 50 and his only instruction was e-mail and phone coaching from me:

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!
