Thruster

Connect a front squat to an overhead press without pausing at the shoulders.

How to do Thruster

1. Hold the bar on your shoulders and squat below parallel.
2. Stand hard and use the leg drive to send the bar upward.
3. Finish with locked knees and elbows, then return the bar for the next rep.

Where reps get stolen

Pressing from a dead stop. Carry the squat drive into the bar instead of separating the movements.
