Barbell Thrusters

KEY COACHING POINTS:

  • Feet should be just wider than shoulder width apart

  • Brace your core

  • Descend by pushing your hips back and letting your knees track towards your toes (knees should not track inwards)

  • Squat as low as you can whilst maintaining a neutral spine

  • Press up and lock your hips out at the top of the movement to achieve a full contraction of the glutes

  • Use the momentum to press the barbell up
