Most fitness clubs and gym type settings don’t allow to many variations of the Olympic lifts. Depending on how you rack the bar (whether your going from the floor, hang or on pull boxes which they most likely don’t have either so you might use a squat rack) it’s still seen against in most fitness club settings.
Bumper plates are one thing, but an Olympic bar or at least one that has similar qualities to an Olympic bar that rotates may be more useful. This will take away a lot of the elbow and wrist issues that would come from the Oly lifts.
And if that doesn’t work out, its probably back to speed work and plyos?

what I do when I am at a gym that doesn’t allow oly’s with Barbells I can use dumbells. One arm snatches are a great exercise in my opinion. What I teach the athletes I work with is to start with the DB almost behind them between their legs, this keeps their shoulders infront for most of the first pull and the lower starting postion really forces you to use your glutes to drive out of the ground.
