I learned the Olympic lifts at age 54. I did have the obvious advantage of good coaching (Columbus Weightlifting Club). The first and hardest thing for me to learn was to even achieve the full squat positions. A good rack position for Clean (wrists) and front squat and the ability to do a "rock bottom" over head squat. It's possible of course to do "power" versions while developing the flexibility to do the lifts correctly. I did a ton of PVC pipe work and empty bar work working towards the full lifts - I was able to learn the lifts to an "acceptable" point and did C&J over my bodyweight before too long. Good Luck!
