I though this article has some real food for thought. Although i still like the Oly lifts, the general idea of the article is very good. It also gives Charlie props 
The purpose of the article is not to bash a specific exercise such as the olympic lifts…I use and teach them on a weekly basis being involved with many sports. But, it shows how simple movements like squats can be used without any loss in performance. I wrote that article in 10 minutes to see if I could be as prolific as Chris T. I need to be able to fire one article a day to do a project in two weeks.
…and yes I did want to give Charlie “mad props” since he has helped me become a good coach instead of a idiot.
The argument by the pro-OLs for sprinters/non OL athletes is odd. As mentioned in the article, they cite the fact that the highest wattage comes from the snatch, and then jump to the conclusion that the best way to develop power&speed for (insert sport here) is to do the OLs. The reasoning behind this jump is yet to be explained anywhere I have read.
