Love it when my phone buzzes and I get this months journal.
Whoa! (fist pump)

If my goal is only weightlifting (to be better in Snatch, Clean&Jerk, plus Squats etc.), is it better to do prescribed conditioning work (e.g. in this workout - 3 sets; no rest: Sandbag bent row x 10, Sandbag halfmoon x 5/side) or should I exclude it?
Is it OK to do (in this cycle) Jerks behind the neck instead of Jerks, because when I do Jerks, I can feel a sharp pain under my shoulder blades? I don't feel the pain when doing Jerks behind the neck.

Alen -
Yes, exclude the conditioning work. You can use jerks behind the neck, but figure out what the issue is because eventually you're going to need to jerk from the front.
