Thrusters: The Ultimate Guide

[@lindatally1346]

I am a 70 year old woman and started CrossFit 2 weeks ago. My coaches are great and I will watch these to get a head start on my learning before class. Your instruction is great. Thanks

[@renebaatenburg4048]

Go girl! I started at 68. I do the same thing. Helps loads!

[@Lisa-yy2ni]

I just started at 63!! 90 days ago. Building some strength in my upper body!

[@charliemccoy6643]

I’m a 67 year old amputee. I did CrossFit for a year straight and now I’m doing PT for the next year from the injuries I have now. I’ll be back

[@dennisrivera8438]

I’m a 48 y/o male with SI joint pain and 3 torn meniscus repair. I have been doing CrossFit for 3 months, man you’re a great coach. I love how you explained proper form to avoid injuries. I already subscribed to this channel so I can learn more. Thank you for what you do!

[@laurieavalos8783]

Hate to repeat but the breathing tip & lock out at the top was very helpful

[@berndlober8194]

I have looked at many guides to the thrusters. All were good. But your guide is by far the best. Very structured and presented sympathetically. Thank you and greetings from Germany

[@WODprep]

Wow, thanks!

[@richcruz8924]

Exceptional level of detail... With Gratitude Ben! 🙏🏽👊🏽

[@hiteshnagothu887]

Here after 23.2 release for form review

[@elreydelmundo1343]

This is really in depth. You even went over the mistakes. Great video, thanks!

[@mrsinterested]

Love the modifications for newer athletes or athletes with mobility or injury issues. Conversely love the advanced tips as well. I struggle with breathing on wall balls and thrusters so m going to try the breathing technique you’ve suggested. Thank you.

[@paulmulryne8405]

I do these and KB swings 25 reps of each without rest for as long as I can for cardio. Absolute killer. This video is great for ironing out some weaknesses in the movement.

[@stefanieguzikowski5536]

The breathing tip was an aha for me. I always hold my breath. Thank you!

[@richellelee2504]

I’m 59 and on my first week of cross fit ! I love your videos so helpful!

[@shelby427]

I'm two months new to Crossfit this was perfect coaching! VERY Clear and detailed! Come to the Bay Area and open your gym!!👍🏽

[@_sammydb]

Thanks for always being my go to channel for open tips!!! As a coach and athlete, your videos are amazing

[@Housebullkay]

Sooooo glad you addressed breathing!! This is me 100% totally needed this video!

[@superkeiler]

[@jeromebenedict7422]

The best wod prep guy is YOU my friend 👏🏽👍🏽👊🏼

[@dzinengland4957]

They way how to breathe was a good tips Thanks for your help buddy

[@vitorbelotagomes9452]

Thank you man! I did the open on Saturday and tried again today (monday). Your tips made a big difference, mostly the one about jumping to the bar as if it was a box jump, that made it much easier!!!

[@Mikeeyy53]

I watched this video last night before my attempt at 21.3 this morning. When you said “rest the bar on your shoulders when squatting as I see a lot of people hold the bar” I thought that was crazy that people do that. I then went into the gym to warm up and realised I DO THAT because my mobility is so bad it’s hard to raise my elbows. This helped me massively today so thank you!

[@eeechiban]

Super helpful. Much more efficient doing it the right way.

[@justinwallace269]

Love this exercise! Fantastic tutorial! Thanks so much for posting this and being so thorough with all the possible options!

[@fernandobaracho9582]

The best thruster tutorial

[@anthonycardarelli6664]

great tips on scaling and things to watch out for when fatigue degrades form.

[@oliemarchal5929]

The breathing tip is very valuable to me. Great tip on the grip too! Great video!

[@petercraig4411]

This was great, thank you very much. Just started CrossFit a month ago and it can be very overwhelming (and sometimes discouraging) to try to learn the movement.

[@saidasilbermann3875]

using the technic now for beating my own score for qualification

[@malenareveles1671]

I’m new to CrossFit .i learned a lot with this video , Thank you!

[@ericafeliciano5521]

Best video I've found on thruster technique. Thank you!

[@WODprep]

Glad it was helpful!

[@macsantos3882]

6:57 for gymnastic conditioning you want to do it strict, it really depends on your goals, just saying that is not incorrect. Overall, this video is gold, thank you!

[@elianapoli6647]

[@kamkam4976]

I needed to hear or be reminded of almost everything here.

[@raoul1387]

Best training advice ever. Your videos Speak to ME. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@marlenegoodman3522]

Excellent teaching!

[@samf15h3r]

Pause and breathe - this is the BEST tip on thrusters. With this technique you no longer worry about thrusters killing you, because this technique will let the set take care of itself.

[@JackyHorror]

I wasn’t racking on the my shoulders.. I was holding it up with my arms I wasn’t resting at the top.. I was resting while holding it with my arms at the bottom I wasn’t cleaning my first rep. Video helped a lot.

[@silviamcdermott1299]

Thank you so much!! It’s great advice! My wrist is stiff, so your coaching helped me gain more flexibility. I was 3 yrs in cf class until I got injured on my shoulder. I just back in track into my workout ( in my garage)after two months off. Thank you again!!🙏🏼

[@WODprep]

You're so welcome!

[@pazinteriorinnerpiece29]

[@WODprep]

[@akiveu]

Great tip on breathing and locking

[@thefitolddoc2045]

Great video! Always pick up little tips (like making sure I rack the bar completely).

[@Mike-qc6ej]

Box at the bottom. Awesome scaling tip.

[@aidanschauer1581]

Entire video was awesome

[@ameliedoyle7588]

Pulling down the bar to go quicker, i'd never thought of that, thanks!!

[@rosasourelos5652]

[@yvonnejenkins6052]

Pulling the bar into you! Hadn't thought of that!

[@splinter1012]

Thanks so much for this level of detail. You're fast becoming my go to source for cf technique and guidance.

[@WODprep]

Thank you, means a lot!

[@antontikay3303]

thanks for the tip

[@peterparahuz7094]

if i just launch the bar off my shoulders (as per proper technique described here), it eventually ends up hitting the bottom of my jaw. i like my teeth the way they are, so i just do the 'strict thrusters', as shown at 6:43. any tips?

[@dexttech]

awesome video,, gonna do this in 21.3 this evening

[@ram_bam]

Preppin' for Jackie.

[@brandonsellers1076]

Thank you for the detailed explanation of this exercise. I'm adding this to my weight training regiment that supplements my kickboxing. Hope to have crossfit power, physique and energy with kickboxing skill. Wish me luck.

[@badking3546]

Pulling the bar down.....wow...that's on another level.

[@WODprep]

yeah that's fitness haha

[@kylepierce6001]

amazing tips

[@namhophuong2776]

greatest exercise

[@welwellwell71]

Great content thanks. I agree this can be a comprehensive one exercise routine.

[@efficientfuture]

Dude thank you. I have very long arms and legs with a short torso and my front rack position is bad. I can't keep my hands around the bar.

[@almckinnon1753]

New to this, love how much detail you go into.

[@WODprep]

Appreciate the feedback! Glad you're enjoying them

[@tushcollections]

[@ozkanozkaya1832]

[@dessyaparicio]

Pace by breath... Top tip for me...

[@hectorvazquez1989]

Breathing tip for sure.

Not lifting with my arms too early. Thanks!

[@mohammadreza8481]

That's very useful ❤️‍🔥

[@mightymao4354]

[@pelomocho8567]

Ben put the dang 21.3 video up your teasing us!!

[@barbararivers1stviolins154]

Very informative!

[@pizzaiq]

Great tips! Thanks! Smashed the subscribe button :)

[@FC-dv1eb]

Great video, thank you! Hope you had a big protein shake after this workout to help you recover as you did do quite a few thrusters 😅

[@CrazyFilipinaLove]

As a beginner, I just started and can’t do bar muscle ups, hopefully I can do one in this workout!

[@sarawiles7951]

I learned about the bar resting on the shoulders. I think I’m guilty of holding it out front and losing balance.

[@CarolPierreBarbosa]

Breathing technique!

[@kieronkearney3731]

Before I started trusters and other Barbell compound exercises my joints were too sore to run ' now 15 mths later no more soreness in any of my joints and I can gallop to 52 yrs old

[@thequietone2998]

I have subscribed 👍🏾

[@andersemil5541]

My thrusters are pretty good, but my elbows do drop in the squat. Gonna work on my front rack mobility so I can keep them straight

[@drich188]

24.3 is gonna make this video so popular

[@ASpec818]

That breathe out and in pattern works best when you’re fresh. When you’re coming out of a run or row out of breath, you’re forced to change the pattern. You need to figure out your own pattern then.

[@marckblacktraining4998]

EXCELENT
