Barbell Thruster
Expert Advice
Use a full range of motion, squatting deeply and pressing the barbell overhead in one fluid motion. Keep your elbows under the bar during the squat to maintain balance.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the barbell at shoulder level with a grip just outside your shoulders.
- Lower into a deep squat, keeping your chest up and back straight.
- Drive through your heels to stand up, using the momentum to press the barbell overhead.
- Lower the barbell back to your shoulders as you descend into the next squat.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
