Advice on Olympic Lifting

MikeRuz1

Hello all, so just recently ive started getting into Olympic Weightlifting and its something I want to persue. I took a class last year learning form but did not have as much practice as I would of liked so for now I'm just practicing my form for the overhead squat, clean & jerk, and snatch with light weight.

My question is this

at what point / time would you say I could start increasing weight and start lifting for strength gains vs form practice?

I would think you could start increasing weight slowly over time, making sure your form still stays correct, but that way you're constantly moving up.

This is what I do, anyway. I love Olympic lifting.
