Exercises can be repurposed to fit the needs of the athlete. Use lighter loads to hone in technique, dial up speed, increase power; and most importantly (in my opinion), heighten your awareness of interacting with the weight.
The “Snatch Squat Press” is a great tool to help reinforce the snatch lockout and develop positional strength in the hole. Use it prior to snatching to help prime the lockout or at the end of the workout as a strength assistance piece.

Don’t forget to smile the next time you pull under a PR weight! Sarah Hopping getting after 253lbs/115kg clean. This weight escaped her grasp a couple times this day but she’ll own it soon.
