Nope. Olympic lifts like snatches, clean/jerk, etc are just different lifts than the bench/deadlift/squat combo that powerlifting revolves around.

2 HUGE

but the same goal is to lift the most at the lowest bodyweight right?

but they just focus on different lifts

DJSTARER

the goal is the same, but olympic lifts are overhead lifts.
