I can’t work out today so would it be okay to just stay later at the gym tomorrow to work on these? I’ve never done OLY lifting so I imagine it will take a lot of practice. I don’t plan on doing the full workout but just some skill work I guess.
Absolutely. Snatch and the clean (as well as the jerk) portion are technical lifts that require technique and you need all the practice you (and I) can get.

Can’t find demo on chest to bar pull-up. Is it different from a regular pull-up? If so how?
Normally, chin over bar is a full ROM pullup.
A ctb means every time you pull, your chest must touch the bar. And I even think the actual definition means clavicle or below. The second part of your kip where you pop your hips open needs to be massive unless you’re Unforgibbon, who does bbtb (belly button to bar) pullups . . .
Pack:
Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
65 pound Squat snatch
Chest to bar Pull-ups
Time = 22:21
I need to spend a lot of time with a PVC pipe working on my snatch form. Yuck! In light of that, I opted to slow it down and really try to learn and improve, rather than being sloppy and quick. Still a good workout.
Pack, modified:
Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
65 pound Squat snatch (45 lbs 1st round)
Chest to Bar Pull-ups (Gravitron assisted rounds 2 and 3)
Day 14. This work out was brutal. I have never done a Squat Snatch before, ever. I practiced the form with a light weight bar and it was difficult. I then added the weight and my form was all over the place. Totally sloppy. I don’t think one rep of my Squat Snatches was done without something being wrong, but I did them all. This will definitely require practice. I also had to kip most of the Chest to bar Pull-ups with jumping as the Pull-up bar at the gym I work out at is too close to the wall for any swing. This is the first time I’ve had to substantially kip on Pull-ups even though I do most of them as dead pulls without too much swinging or movement.

Pack:
Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
65 pound Squat snatch - FORM TERRIBLE, NEED PRACTICE
Chest to bar Pull-ups - HAD TO KIP MOST OF THEM BY JUMPING
95 lb Bar squat Snatch
chest to Bar as ordered.
Had trouble with my form a little on the snatches and they wiped me out, pull ups not a problem, Baghdad dust was the biggest problem as my chest felt like i’d been sucking on a chimmney when I’d finished.
7:34min need to work on those squat snatches though.
