How to perform it
- Clean two kettlebells to your shoulders. Clean the kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebells towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrists as you do so. This will be your starting position.
- Begin to squat by flexing your hips and knees, lowering your hips between your legs. Maintain an upright, straight back as you descend as low as you can.
- At the bottom, reverse direction and squat by extending your knees and hips, driving through your heels. As you do so, press both kettlebells overhead by extending your arms straight up, using the momentum from the squat to help drive the weights upward.
- As you begin the next repetition, return the weights to the shoulders.
Muscles worked
The Kettlebell Thruster primarily targets your Shoulders, with support from your Quadriceps, Triceps. You'll need kettlebells.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Kettlebell Thruster slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
