This was a good day for me technique wise, as I really really suck at thrusters because of my issues with the front squat rack position. I’m getting better with letting it sit on my shoulders, but still not good. For a front squat I’m fine, but not for a thruster. My end fingers tend to slip off the bar which isn’t bad if its my pinky, but when its the the end two fingers then I’m a little unstable at the top.
I started out doing a nice little pink flip, where it would come off the bar for the squat part and then I’d readjust the grip during the overhead. But couldn’t keep that up… and by the end of it I was using a really really narrow grip which but my hands between the bar and my shoulders. It was the only way I could keep all my fingers on the bar to do multiple thrusters at a time. Since the it was a lower weight it was “ok”, but definitely not something I should be doing.
