How to Do the Thruster

The thruster is one of the greatest lifts no one has ever heard of in the gym.

And here's how to do it.

To begin, you take two dumbbells or a barbell or sandbag or kettlebells or Slosh Tube or small child and hold them at shoulder height.

Squat down, keeping the weight on your shoulders.

Begin by coming up and out of your squat.

As you rise up, press the weights to the overhead lockout position.

You can either press as you rise or use the momentum to help rocket the weight overhead.
