Maybe I'm just being whiny, and I'm not a fan of a lot of the olympic-style weight lifting workouts, but like I said... the results are there, which is why I keep going I suppose.

Fair enough. That seems to be a common knock on CF, people sacrificing proper form just to get some good numbers. And you're right, it seems to be site/instructor dependent.
Personally, I could care less what numbers the guy beside me puts up. I just try to get a little bit better each time.
I agree with you on the olympic lifts too. I hated those things with a passion when I first started. I literally couldn't do an overhead squat to save my life. There were women at the gym who were half my weight lifting twice the weight I was. I was finally able to do my first proper overhead squat after three months!!!
