Reply With QuoteThey are for power and you do a lot of <6 rep stuff. Lots of singles too.
You shouldn't do them if you don't have a coach to teach them to you.

Olympic lifting
when doing them what are some ideal rep ranges for it. Im guessing 5x5 or 4x6. Im also guoessing you do these for strenght (low reps) and not hypertrophy or endurance(high reps)

They are for mainly for injuries.

Olympic lifts are great but they are complex and require alot of attention. The best thing to do is to start out slow and get the basics down with lighter wieght, then increase the weight as you get core comfortable. This link has some great instruction on how to start.

a) what is your purpose for doing them? What are your goals?
b) judging by the questions you have regarding the lifts and their application, is it safe to assume that you really don't know anything about these types of lifts?
c) if "b" then discontinue use until further notice.Optimum Sports Performance

Well what I would do is really teach your body the lifts. Go with very light weight and learn the technique before really going for singles and triples!
