I was also wondering, is it really a common part of crossfit workouts to do compound/olympic lifts for time?


Honestly, no.

Definitely not at good gyms.

But even the bad ones don't do it enough to be "common practice", and when they do it's extremely light. Like 95# snatches. Although most people who crossfit, contrary to their beliefs, do not possess the core strength and stability to do a lot of light snatches for time.

I am confused. Lester Earl says it is very common. Lester Earl must go to a bad gym?

How so? You have to do Olympic lifts for time in the freaking crossfit games, how would that not be common place?
