I'm not suggesting doing away with all Olympic style lifting but Olympic lifting is no more explosive than standard strength training. Power lifters are very explosive and never do Olympic lifts. 
The Ducks have always had trouble with physically strong teams for this reason.   Too much time wasted on Olympic lifting and Radcliffe's other weirdness like Hindu squats.
We'll see a demonstration of a physically strong team next week when the Huskies come to town.
