DB or BB thrusters? Does it matter?

Cool!! Is that Kelly from MDPD beside Nicole? I am glad she went to the Cert. Now I should go. I feel sorry for the recruits at MDPD now....Maybe we can get coach to come to Miami?

Tim T:

i don't think it matters. do BB this time, DB next time.

should i use a snatch grip for bb thrusters?

And, is the explosive portion of the thruster emphasized from the bottom of the squat, knee level, or just the last few moments before extension?

tim t:

i'm pretty sure it is a barbell thruster. i think they would specify if it was with dumbells

#3 and #5, it matters! DB Thrusters are done when the exercise calls for.... wait for it..... DB Thrusters. A Thruster is done with a barbell. You can still do DB if the BB ones are too hard to complete, but they do designate the differences when they post the WOD's. I don't think I've seen a DB Thruster in ages.

THAT'S MY BOY AFT STANDING IN THE FRONT ROW!!! RIGHT ON, BUDDY!!

Last done on 060725

This was a good workout-
I did it twice, just to kick it hard.

2:06 and 2:10

Ripping-

Anyone, what weight are the thrusters to be?

#12 Frank.

Work up to a maximum one rep effort somewhere in the single rep group.

chris s & gaucoin:

you're totally right. and considering it's an ME workout, you'd want to get the most weight overhead possible, and a BB would let you do just that.

on the other hand, it is crossfit, right? so using DBs would be ok, too!

I see that big representative from CrossfitEAST. Still smiling.

1:35 seconds. pretty easy workout.

Doug, Great to see you made the seminar. Maybe you can do the next CFE in the Park ?

Why are people posting times? Am I missing something?

I'm 16 years old and weigh 130 lbs. and I'm new to crossfit, what's a good starting weight. Also do you add weight to each set?

hey im the same age and weight as you.. start with the bar and see how it feels i guess, make sure ur doing the exercise correctly. just slowly move up in weight.

i dont see y ppl are posting times either..

im 20 years old new to cross fit...i have been lifting on a consistent basis for the past year and a half but have never done anything like this. What would be a good starting weight? I would just like some suggestions for when i try it out tomorrow morning at the gym before class...thanks

Should you wear a belt for this workout? Thanks for any help.

#18 tj cooper,
As it seems they did not do the wod the way it should be done ...
Although this "Post loads to comments." is actually a give away ...

i believe belts are generally frowned upon here, although i've seen some, um, energetic discussions on the subject of belts and straps on the message boards.

for those of you new to crossfit, i guess it really depends if you're comfortable with the basic exercises, or really starting from scratch. if you've never done a barbell thruster before, learn the movement with a broomstick, maybe, before progressing to using just the bar and then proceeding to add weight with each attempt. if you've some experience, maybe start with, i dunno, half your bodyweight, and go from there. i think the main thing to remember when you're starting crossfit is DON'T RUSH. figure out where you're at, be patient, work assiduously, and the gains will come--and pretty damned fast, if my experience this year is any indication.

#11 and #16
That made me laugh =)

Wow, it sure seems like the 'gospel' of CrossFit is spreading, given the number of new people that have been posting in the comments. AWESOME!!

With that being said, it sure seems like none of them read the FAQs or even any of the daily comments posted before them or other pertinent information before coming here with their questions. Many of the same questions get asked multiple times a day, and countless times per week.

I know, I was new once too, yada yada yada. It just seems like it's been a frequent theme as of late....

After a few days off, here comes the wonderful fun!

Ok, starting easy after a rest week.

CF warmup *2

Did a couple of sets of thrusters.
Max 3*55 kg.

I'm new to this so I'm looking for guidance. I'm still becoming familiar with some of these exercises. I was watching the video of the thrusters. It looks like when the guy comes down to what seems like a squatting position his knees go over his toes. I know that crossfit is not like conventional weight lifting, but "they" say that your knees should stay at a 90 degree bend. Help please?

This is one of the strangest message boards I've seen...it seems like there is a lot of confusion for this WOD

Still need those plates....hrmmm

45 X 3, 2, 2, 2
95 x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

surprised I could manage the 95s actually...45 to 95 is a big jump.

Question:
Had ACL surgery 2003, been very happy with it, but X-fit makes me realize it wasn't as strong as I thought? Any ideas for support of the knee or any cautionary warnings during the workout?

CFWU: I've finally given up the Gravitron entirely for my pull-ups and dips. I'm not able to do 3 sets of 10 kipping pull-ups yet and I'm still doing jumping dips, but I think I'll progress much faster this way.

I felt light-headed at the end of the "deadlift" part of some of the thrusters and decided play it safe. I still need to develop technique before I move up on the weights.

topped out at 195 lb. for two

#39- Mike- I have also had an ACL repair, and have found that the deep crossfit squats have actually helped make that knee feel stronger. Made me realize that I hadn't really regained that quad/hamstring strength in the rehab. Of course, you should do what feels right for you, and be aware of your knee's limitations.
#36- Jess- Once I purchased the back issue of the Crossfit Journal on squat mechanics, I understood why the deep squats. Get it. Journal issue #4. $5, Well spent.

My personal definition of the thruster is that weight is propelled upward by leg and hip thrust alone, no pushing with arms. The weight should develop enough momentum so that arms are pulled upwards by weight in the catch.

I know I need work on this. I am basically doing two separate exercises, front squats and standing military press. I worked on exploding out of my hips but felt like I was more just dropping under the weight, and was worried with more of a push motion of catching my chin, knocking myself out, and making a scene in the middle of the gym.

It's hard for me to imagine how you could get enough push and momentum to get the weight overhead without ANY arm push. But I'm still working on it.

So we meet again.....

RobertP - I thought the same thing as you, but when I watch the video and slide show the weight doesn't appear to be racked in the front squat position (which should make it more difficult to propel).

Any guidance, should the weight be racked in the front squat position to get the drive to propel it above your head?

JasonS- The weight should be in the racked position. Pull yourself down into the Frontsquat. As you fire out of the hole, be sure to open your hips and drive through bar creating lift on it. The more you explode w/your hips, the less you have to press w/your arms/shoulders. Hope it helps bro.

Get some, Go again!

143,148,153,158,163,168,173,177,182 (PB). Wrists and elbows very angry at me now but working out with OPT kept me focused and made the WOD more fun to do. Did a 500m row in 1:31 after just for a laugh.

I didn't laugh.

WOD:
Also worked up to 190# for thruster. PR by 35# since last measured effort on thrusters about a year ago.

After:
Completed my last workout on the 12 week Hatch squat program.

Other:
#49 - Same definition.
#56 - As you add weight you'll notice that point of maximum acceleration occurs closer and closer to the end of the hip extension. Get acquainted with where and when this occurs, then exploit it ruthlessly. Don't worry if you're slow coming out of the hole - Hit that point of acceleration at the very end of the hip extension and let it fly (see DJ's comment, #65).

Question - Does anybody ever morph these into "jerk-thrusters" at heavier weights ? Seems like the next logical extension.

What's the Crossfit record for fastest Thruster rep ever done. I heard Nicole can do it in .40 seconds.

3x100, 2x105,110,115, 1x125,130,135,140(f),125,135. Oddly, I did a set of thrusters on Saturday when I decided to blow off the WOD for 10x95#thruster, 10 dips, 500m row, 5 rounds for time. Today's WOD was further evidence that CF is top of the line. I've been CF'ing for 11 months and this is the first time I've seen ME thrusters. Thanks, Coach! BW:177, YOA:58

tip: don't workout with a non crossfiter.. it will take a lot longer than usual

#36-Jess:

Throw out what you know about 'they' and try to follow the guidance of the exercise demos as well as you can. If your body can't do it the same way then lessen your loads and practice practice practice. If you tried to perform a thruster from 90 degrees in the knees you'd probably either get no where near your max load or screw up your knees.

AND PEOPLE, NO BELTS! They are for powerlifters and home furniture movers.

I'm with you #37, there are some wild and wacky postings today.

OK I'm laughing at #91 because I think it's a joke. I hope it's a joke. It's a joke, right?

I'm definitely laughing at the 'times'.... Especially the time posted for the 500M row by #74. ;-)

It all goes back to my earlier post... I think that people see others doing it, see the good that is coming of it, the changes that it is affecting. When they inquire about it, all they hear is "The workout is posted at this website." Then, in all of their fervor, they get so excited about actually doing their first WOD and taking that first step, that they don't investigate it, don't really take the time to absorb what CrossFit is and what the overall goal of the program is. Afterall, how much different can it be from the workouts in Men's Health, et al.?

That's why the message board is such an valuable resource. There are so many people out there and willing to help, and so many resources available. It just gets exhausting reading the same questions over and over again. I for one, don't have the patience most days, and applaud those here that take their time to bring those with questions up to speed.

This seems to be a good day to state something that seems to be misunderstood ... maybe by me.

It seems there should only be one variable per WOD.
If the weight is variable (like today) then the time is either constant or time is inconsequential (like today - max days).
If the time is variable i.e. "for time" (most WODs) then the weight, distance, and/or reps are NOT variable.
Sometimes the reps/# of sets are variable (as in Cindy) but then the time is not variable.

When you are allowed to vary everything then you cannot maintain any intensity. This has always seemed pretty evident to me.

All of that is subject to restrictions such as dealing with injuries and the absolute inability to safely perform an exercise as prescribed.

All reps felt very good up to 165. Shoulder mobility has been improving and really helped in the lockout. For those with shoulder flex issues, this has really helped me:
Lie on the floor face down with a chair or couch, etc at the end of your outstretched arms; put your forearms on the couch and gradually stretch your torso downwards so your face reaches the floor - which makes your shoulders go to the back of the head position. Hope it helps.

great to see new names and excitement over CF as well as patience with those who answer their questions but i can see into the future (don't ask how) and envision 100 people posting scores and 300 people asking questions...?!

Coach Glassman and all the trainers in attendance at Golden this weekend,

Thank you all for the phenomenal experience. Although my quads are toast, I feel pretty good after what you all unleashed on us. :) I have a greater understanding of what Crossfit is all about and feel more confident in the movements we practiced. Now, I really know how to squat! To all my fellow participants, great job and hope to see you soon. Eva T. thanks for helping me with the kip. I'll be practicing this week.

Hammie felt ok, so I went for it. Stopped at my PR. Definitely could of got 245, but wanted to play it safe. I'm sick of all these nagging injuries eating at me. I don't know what hurts more... Having a bunch of little aches and pains, or these last elections.

Thanks to Coach and all the trainers for a great weekend in Golden. The first day I had a good time learning all of the fundamental movements and feel like I've got a much better understanding of them. More to learn, always, but a great foundation. I really liked the way the progression of the movements was tied into the discussion of functionality, intensity and variance.

The second day was a mixture of topics. Probably my favorite was Coach's discussion of the importance of practicing and developing skill movements as opposed to 'dumb PT'. The concept of strength as the PRODUCTIVE application of force is much more internalized. The discussion on calculating work capacity was valuable as well. I remember the Fran article and calculations, but the numbers never really meant that much to me. Now I see it is a valuable tool in measuring progress. Both of these have given me avenues to explore in my training. Coach's clarification of hip flexion/extension vs. trunk flexion/extension - a very clear and precise means of evaluating movements - so 'simple' - why isn't this better understood by the exercise community at large?

Other stuff- After Eva T's kipping pullup demo I'm starting to come around to see the value of the kipping vs. the dead hang. Abs for midline stabilization vs. trunk flexion, nutrition - already 'get' these.

Again, thanks to Coach, Nicole, Eva, Rob, Skip, Kevin, Brian, Doug, Tony, Jamie, Brandon, Ahmik, Dave and all the other trainers and the other participants for a great weekend. I had a great time.

Realized I started off a little light, so kept going 'til three reps started to get hard.

For some of these Oly-related lifts, sometimes it seems my nerve fails before my muscles do. Anyone got any psych-up tips?

3x65#, 2x85, 2x95, 2x105, 115, 125, 130, 135oldpr, 140pr, 145pr

What a great, and very humbling experience. Thanks to Coach, all the trainers - it's amazing what a little encouragement will do to keep you going when you think you have nothing more to give - and all the other participants in Golden. I, also, had a great time...thanks again.

SHC to position, tried 205, cant get over the mental gap of catching 205 in a squat. So racked it and did 205 front squat x 2 and 205 push press x 2. Warmed down with 2 sets of 6 135lb thrusters and a set of 5 135lb cleans.
All in all a pretty good day, just got to get over catching 200 plus pounds in a front squat. I think I would be much more comfortable doing it if I was using bumpers. 24hr fitness dosnt take to kindly to dropping 200 lbs on the floor.

hey Crossfit Folks!
today was only my 2nd CF workout. i'm 31 years old, 195lb. i've been doing some training since march 2006, but not crossfit training. I love the idea of this program, but can some of the more experienced folks help me? I don't have a Crossfit gym near my home. Should i be doing a warm-up before these workouts? Should i always keep time? Questions like these have been bugging me.

thank you in advance for the Help!
also, BIG THANKS to the Operator of this site.

I hurt my wrist a few days ago, anyone know of a good substitute for thrusters that would be a little easier on the wrists?

The comments section today was like the bizarro CrossFit!

CFWU x 3 plus shoulder stretch
Tried to maintain thrusters as thrusters and not deteriorate into front squats with a push press.

45-55-55-55-65-75-65-65-65

Many interuptions this time around. Could have handled more weight but I started doing front squats with the push press, so I dropped the weight down.

L bummed he couldn't play because of stitches.
N did burpees instead of thrusters

Anyway attempted with a bench behind me to get to at least parallel but unfortunately had no explosiveness in the hips and topped out at 138. Failed twice at 140 and packed it in.

(I checked the cf hp shortly befor training but couldn´t remember 3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1 and did 5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-1 instead - damn math! ;) Good workout anyway.)

was looking forward to practicing my cleans so I cleaned each attempt

movement felt good but still have a long way to go with the clean technique.
