Here are my 3 efficiency tips for the thruster that will help you kill it in Fran and the CrossFit Open.
1. Front Rack Positioning:
- While it might feel stronger to clinch the bar, this can leead to increased fatigue and tighter upper back. Oppening your grip will allow you to keep your elbows high and wide to maintain a vertical torso.
2. Breathing:
- A tip I grabbed from an interview with Marcus Filly, you want to keep a consistant breathing pattern throughout the movement not just in the press. Most have a tendency to hold their breath during the squat portion which increases the heart rate and fatigue. Breath in as you squat, out as you stand in as you press out as the bar comes back down.
3. The Catch:
- This is so important and easily overlooked. Keeping the bar in as strait a path as possible will create a lot of efficiency.
- As the bar comes down to the shoulders begin to open the hands a position the elbows. The bar should land right in front of the throat with elbows and chest tall.
- During the entire press portion, your glutes should be SQUEEZED. this creates optimum stability and a strong receiving position for the barbell. Continue to squeeze until the bar has come back to the shoulders and immediately go into the next rep.
