If you'd care to look into my log:

Background: I've started learning the Oly lifts in September and am progressing ahead slowly.. being a klutz & at a ripe 45 years age plus having taught myself hang cleans the wrong way doesn't help.
Other necessities to know: once a week I go to a gym (half an hour by car) to learn Oly lifting and the rest of the week I'm in a gym at a 15min walking distance with NO squat cage or rack but with a fixed weight barbell rack that makes do as a mediocre squat rack when I remove all of the barbells on 1 side.
The squat rack works great for front squats and push presses (w/o cleans) but sucks for back squats for which I have to hunch down too much.. but .. it's the only good option I have.
Right now I'm also still nursing a hand injury and can't do cleans & front squats as a result.
Other useful things to know: need to work on stability & balance (trying to do 1 weekly yoga class plus do some balance work) and also need to change my lifts in order to make them more suitable for Oly lifting.
Sofar my new trainer hasn't really been helpful in making suggestions for adapting current routine.. I guess he'd prefer me coming in for every workout, but that's simply far too impractical given the extra time & money (fuel!) it takes to get there.. so I'm on my own here.
Some things I've already done: lose the mixed grip and only use the hook grip.. starting lower on deadlifts and predominantly use legs. Use a high bar placement and a more upright back .. etc.
I'd like to see how I can further improve the routine given the (stupid) fact that I'm in a facility that doesn't allow for dropping wts so I'm actually mostly doing a normal routine with some changes than an actual weight lifters routine.
