Mindset
“I’ve always wondered why birds stay in the same place, when they could fly anywhere in the world. And then I ask myself the same question.” – Harun Yahya
We are like the bird. We can fly anywhere in the world. But… we hold ourselves back.
I don’t have the time. I’m not educated enough. I’m too old. I’m too young. I’m not a natural with this. I can’t afford it. I’m afraid of what might go wrong.
Every single one of the above can be legitimately true. But even with that being the case, we still want to see what they are at their core. A list of self-induced doubts and fears.
What Harun Yahya expresses is a powerful perspective we can take into our day: we sometimes can forget that we have wings.

Jump, Punch, and Land
Putting it all together with the power snatch. The goal here:
Jump Hard
Punch Hard
Land with Hips Back and Heels Down
We’ll use a few different movements to accomplish these. The behind the neck work is designed to work on hand speed and hip speed. The muscle snatch is essentially the barbell equivalent of the “muscle box jump”.

STRATEGY + WOD
POWER SNATCH
Choose a break-up strategy that allows you to complete the overhead squats without breaking
With the snatches coming back to the ground every rep, it makes them easier to break-up than the overhead squats
You can hold the last rep overhead to go right into the first overhead squat
1 Set: 6
2 Sets: 3-3
3 Sets: 3-2-1
OVERHEAD SQUATS
Let’s aim for unbroken overhead squats throughout
It takes more effort to drop the bar and have to snatch it back up (without that snatch counting towards your score) than it does to hold on for 9 reps
Rest more between snatches as needed to go unbroken here
BOX JUMPS
Move at a steady pace that allows you to recreate your barbell strategy from the previous round
It’s better to slow these down a bit to maximize time spent moving on the barbell
