Post Snatch Loads and Workout Time to Comments
For the strength segment, first perform 5 sets of double rep Snatch Pulls at 100% of your Snatch1RM.  Once you’ve completed these sets, lower the load to 80% of your Snatch 1RM and perform 8 reps of a Snatch from the floor.  Receive the bar in a full overhead squat. These are for technique, rather than for PRs.  In fact, you should not be missing many reps due to heavy load.  Rest roughly 1-2 minutes between attempts. 

For the conditioning workout, up the ante on Pullups by doing them all dead hang.  Use a heavier KB than you would normally.  RX is American (overhead) swings, but be smart and scale to Russian (chest height) swings as needed to handle the heavier load.
