Short instructions

How to do Thruster

Follow the numbered positions in the image and use each instruction as its matching cue.

  1. 1

    Set the starting position

    Hold the bar in a front-rack position, place the feet around shoulder width, brace the trunk, and keep the elbows lifted.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Perform the effort phase

    Inhale into a controlled front squat, then drive through the whole foot and use the rising momentum to press the bar overhead.

    Breathing: Inhale into the squat, then exhale as you stand and press overhead.

  3. 3

    Control the end position

    Finish tall with hips and knees extended and the bar stacked over the shoulders without flaring the ribs.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  4. 4

    Return under control

    Lower the bar to the front rack, absorb it with soft knees, and reset the stance before the next squat.

    Breathing: Inhale through the controlled return.

Setup and safety note: Use the declared Thruster setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
