Whether you're aiming for a new PR or trying to keep your heart rate under control during a WOD, small tweaks to your technique can make a massive difference. Here is what we are focusing on in class this week:
3 Cues to Fix Your Thruster:
Keep Your Elbows Up in the Front Squat: Don't let your chest collapse at the bottom. A strong front rack position keeps the weight over your mid-foot so you can drive straight up.
Explode with the Legs Before You Push: The drive comes from your hips, not your shoulders! Be patientβwait until your hips fully extend before pressing the bar overhead.
Breathe at the Top: Don't hold your breath through the entire movement. Lock out overhead, take a quick breath, and pull the bar straight back down into your front rack for the next rep.
