How to Perform Thruster

Stand upright holding a barbell or a pair of dumbbells at shoulder height with your elbows slightly forward. Position your feet about shoulder-width apart. Lower into a squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back while keeping your chest upright. As you stand up from the squat, drive through your heels and use the momentum to press the weight overhead until your arms are fully extended. Lower the weight back to shoulder height and repeat the movement in one smooth motion.
