Kettlebell Thruster demonstration

How to do it

  1. 1The kettlebell thruster is a compound exercise that combines a squat with an overhead press, targeting the shoulders while also engaging the quadriceps, glutes, and core.

Coaching cues

  • Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in front of your chest with both hands, palms facing each other.
  • Lower into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
  • As you reach the bottom of the squat, explosively drive through your heels to stand up, simultaneously pressing the kettlebell overhead.
  • Lock out your arms at the top of the movement, fully extending your elbows.
  • Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position by reversing the movement, bending your elbows and lowering the weight back to your chest.
  • Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
