Your weekly mission: squat thrusters
Hey dudes,
Sometimes you want a simple and efficient workout that also makes you stronger.
This is the strategy: pick a movement that works as much of the body as possible, then do that movement hella times, explosively.
Please meet the squat thruster — it's just a squat and overhead press put together.
SPEX:
Pick a weight — you don't need much if you lift it quickly
One set is 5-15 reps
Squat down to parallel or below parallel!
Extend your arms to lockout or near lockout
Take no more than 2 minutes per set including rest
Do 10+ sets
Get outside under the sun and get it done in less than 30 minutes.
**Warning: this is a high face-smash risk exercise. The weight necessarily passes your teeth and nose each thruster rep as you accelerate it quickly. A misdirected weight will easily break your face. Be careful.
