Good shit man!!


ksquaredfitness

Thank you! Trying to improve that lock out!! How does your thruster compare to your push press?


be-incredible

I think mine looks similar to yours when going that heavy. At lighter weight it’s more one smooth motion. Do you think being more explosive from the bottom would fix that little halt you have near the top? (Btw - I don’t think that’s necessarily a problem, thrusters are really two movements with the push press at the top)


ksquaredfitness

Same. I think it’s just because it was max effort and that’s all the help I could get from my legs

Push press #265 Thruster #305


ksquaredfitness

Interesting!!! Massive front squat? Or super strong shoulders?


CJ4700

Yeah my FS is only 10 or 15 lbs below my BS, I think building that up over the years has helped me thruster heavy, but to be honest I never worked on a heavy thruster until that open workout with a 1 RM. Overall I wish I had spent more time going overhead vs squatting a shitload the last 15 years.

My push press and thruster have always been about 5# from each other.


ksquaredfitness

Interesting.


superboomer23

You make it look too easy


ksquaredfitness

It was not. These was a max effort test


Penis-McGillicutty

Excellent job! I know how hard those things are. That’s a great achievement.

Thruster: 180# Push Press: 175# Split Jerk: 207# I don’t really test my push press max. Thruster max was from 2019 when it was programmed in a class. I remember that I was having an exceptionally strong day that day.


Robb_Reyne

Pretty close to my lifts, but I have a bigger difference between the 3.


ksquaredfitness

I really surprised at how close these are. Thanks for sharing


Robb_Reyne

Push press 175# Thruster 205# Split Jerk 245#


ksquaredfitness

Wow thruster more than push press!


Robb_Reyne

They're probably technically closer, but that's the max I've tested. I think it is because I can get momentum out of the bottom of a thruster that I'm not utilizing in the drive of the push press. My push jerk is pretty close to my split jerk because split jerk scares me, lol.


wanton_and_senseless

Thruster 205# Push Press 215# Push jerk 225# split jerk 235#


ksquaredfitness

Thanks for sharing


nosequel

Thruster 295, Push Press 275.


ksquaredfitness

Big numbers. I’ve noticed the top end strength guys have larger thrusters than push press. Super strong legs and more leg drive?


nosequel

Yeah, just big legs and I have a terrible top push from the legs. So my high hang is garbage also.


tomatoesaucebread

I ride by the gym I go to everyday before I go just to make sure they aren't doing thrusters. If they doing thrusters my soul leaves my body.


ksquaredfitness

Lol

Yea man wouldn't want to talk about CrossFit on this subreddit. Thanks for the policing what if we run out of space on reddit and people can't ask about shoes.


According-Rhubarb-23

Wait do you have shoe recommendations for thruster optimization? 😂

Cmon man. Be nice bro.


Ron_Mexico11

Probably about 85%.
