Hard to say, I have no idea what your schedule is like, how you recover etc etc
I personally would do them on the same days you squat, at the start of the session, they make a nice warmup for the heavier weights later in the session and prime your nervous system for speed.
just have to reduce the overall session volume to accomodate, and since these are neural training means anyway, there is no need for high volume - especially if you do them twice a week. 3x3 is enough.
don't forget periodisation! You can't do everything at once and maintain a good level of gains. You have to juggle.
Emphasis is on strength means pre-season and then move over to explosive and power means inseason, while still working on strength but with less importance, or just maintain.

CCJ, how wide is your grip on snatches???

thumbs an inch off the outside of the outter rings, but I have relatively short arms.
basicly you want the bar to sit in the hip crease when you lean slightly forward, and slight bend in the knees - the position just before you explode and shrug up onto your toes.

So, in order to find your snatch grip, use one of the tried and true grip-finding methods just to find a spot to hold onto, and deadlift the bar and stand erect. Get your tight back arch and spread the chest. Now, break at the hips and push them back *slightly*, just so you get your shoulders out over the bar. Then, bend your knees just a little bit. This should be your 'power position', or what your body will look like the instant before you initiate your final, powerful jump-shrug and really get the bar moving. Now look at where the bar is. You want it right in the crease of your hips, so that you can take the best mechanical advantage of all your levers and really power the bar up. If the bar is up on your belly, you need to bring your grip in some to put it down in that hip crease. If the bar is halfway down your thigh, you need to widen your grip. Voila. The perfect custom-made snatch grip
