Semi Active Rest Day

Wendler deload deadlift/bench - heaviest sets of 5 at 60% of 1RM

Then spent 30 mins working mid hang snatch movements with a PVC pipe. Then 30 mins of mid hang squat snatches doing doubles and triples with the barbell.

Olympic weightlifting book basically teaches the lifts from the top down starting with the proper overhead squat position then progressing to the proper mid hang position and working progressions from mid hang to overhead before even considering pulling anything off the ground. Logical progression and I can already feel like my fundamental positions are more sound.

Also of note is a logical order of priorities for teaching and learning the lifts: position, movement, speed, load. He says: "Performing a correct movement from an incorrect position is impossible, because it is, by definition, a different movement, and the introduction of excessive speed or weight before the development of sound movement is counterproductive, because again, we're simply practicing an incorrect movement." I think this applies to most any lift or athletic movement. If you're not fundamentally sound and hitting all of the correct positions, you're wasting your time learning irrelevant movements.
