Thruster Demo

Alright tough workout! I did a modified workout of x meters / x thrusters and x sumo dead lift high pulls in what amounted to a significant amount of time. I was surprised by the aerobic deficit all of the exercises created and it really had me seeing stars by the end. The simultaneous engagement of the hip, glute, and back complex with full extension at the top was taxing in terms of flexibility, strength stabilization, and mental toughness...glad I can put this one aside for at least another week.

When you are performing your thrusters use the technique found in this video. Depth and extension are the name of the game (notice feet angle, hip angle, back angle, and elbows as he descends and then extends).
