Has anybody done a Crossfit olympic lifting course? If so, how would you rate them? I'm thinking of doing one later in the year and wonder whether it's worth it. I'd like to start some olympic lifting but really want to get some coaching on the techniques.

Couldn't hurt, from a technical perspective, it doesn't matter if it's crossfit or not, it's really down to the instructor. I would look up his individual credentials and see if he checks out. Crossfit is not the gold standard for olympic lifting.

That's what I'm worried about. I have heard that he is gets good reviews for stuff he does, plus I like the idea that this course does some ring training as well.

Funny enough one of his courses came up when I was looking at OL training, though it was only about £25 and didn't have the rest of the stuff in there.
