Thank you! We had a little fitness comp and I was trying to learn how to grip the bar for the longest. It’s going to take some time to get use to but it helped a lot. Thank you!!
Thank You! I started Crossfit 3 months ago and i wasn't a sport addict but I can't explain what happened with Crossfit. I'm doing the open to challenge myself and since i started i'm following you're prép vidéos and tips. I want to thank You because it's a huge help for me. Technics, demonstrations, mistakes and so are clear and easy to understand. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Very helpful, doing a 1x1 Thruster max tonight so I will use this technique. Thanks, Ben!
Did my first ever thrusters tonight and found myself doing exactly what you said about the fingertips. This will change things.

Really helpful video! Thank you so much for the upload! Will give it a go during my next workout. 💪
Can’t thank you enough for these simple videos! Helped me a ton.
Glad to help!
Love the video! My biggest problem, otherwive, is that I don't have so much mobility kkkk but i'll try it
I can't get the bar to my shoulder when I grip the bar like that.
Thank you!!! Will try it tomorrow🎉
Needed this, thanks! Been struggling with these.
Great points. You should have a link at the end on how to increase mobility to make this movement easier on the elbows and wrists.
Definitely - check out our new shoulder mobility videos!

Needed this! Ready to hit Masters 55+ RX 19.5!
It’s good method. Thank you for your advice.
I needed this video. I have had so much trouble with thrusters because of elbow placement and hand grip. subbed. Thanks.
Thanks so much buddy!
Obrigada pelas dicas, melhorou meu movimento.
thanks you so much for this video. Did a lot of thrusters today with my normal front squat grip, needless to say, it was very unpleasant.
I will try now to grab it instead, im sure it will be a world of difference
You have to use two types of grips and be quick to make the transition from one to another. You lose some time in the process but it's safer and after all it's about corect form not time . Front squat/ partial grip and Shoulder Press full grip. You can't alter either . I teach my clients to be quick in the transition . Just like in clean and jerk . Same thing . Most of us do not have the mobility for a full grip in front squats and we will end up lifting with our backs. The shoulders will not support the weight if you don't have the mobility to hold the elbows up in the front squat period. Just learn to be quick in transfer the partial grip from front squat into the full grip getting ready to strict press. It is possible !
Nice video. I usually try a full grip but my flexibility isn't good enough to rest the barbell entirely on my shoulders. What do you suggest I do?
This could be a couple things: 1 - you have long forearms (can't really help with that :) ) 2 - you have a tight front rack (lats, shoulders, etc). I would watch some mobility WOD videos about "front rack mobility"!
This vid is like 3 yrs old but if your watching this and still couldn’t get the full grip while also resting on your shoulders try going s bit wider on your grip seems to work for me I am pretty new to this kind of lift but seems to work 🤙🏽
Thanks that helped a ton!
Fantastic video, thank you sir
Very welcome
Thanks, this perfectly answered my question!
Thank you!!
excelent advice!
it still helps thank you
Thanks for the video bro. 👍🏼
Very helpful👌🏻
Michael from prison break🤔
Lol!
yes, of course, if you have mobility, it's great, but I don't have any mobility, even though I constantly stretch, it still doesn't show
Hi, what I do usually is squat upwards with the barbell on my finger tips and then while moving up I let it roll in my palm so I can press up. I found this very good but you need to coordinate the movement especially when you need to reset on your shoulders to squat down. Please let me know what you think
That can be really difficult when you are cycling a bunch of reps! Definitely check out our shoulder mobility videos when you get a chance! :)

a lot of people has shoulder mobility issues when gripping the bar and keeping the elbow high.
This will help! czcams.com/video/0vcpL626U98/video.html
REPLY
Probably shouldn’t do thrusters yet then.
I’m grabbing the bar but I can’t seem to get my elbows high enough. What can I do to improve my mobility so that I can get my elbows higher?
Could be several factors like ankle mobility, thoracic mobility or stiff lats. Check out alan thrall vids or the ones from squat university
YEAH, for not needing to be in full front position (as a novice old guy I still can't do that).... THANKS, I will give it a try
This can help you out, Marc! czcams.com/video/0vcpL626U98/video.html
Hello, I like following your videos on occasion, however on dis topic I m afraid that I Disagree. The Idea in a thruster movement Is to place the bar on the shoulders and on your body (same as F. Squat, or a jerk movement), in order for force to trasfer from the legs properly propeling the bar upwards instead of from the shoulders, both in the front squat section and in the push press section. A lot of people find in practacly impossible to wrap their hands around a bar while placing in on their shoulders, therefore they do it with open palms to keep the bar in place. They should be instructed to make the palm transition during the bar's air time, as the most significant distance covered by the bar in the push press section is achieved by leg power - the bar has actual air-time once it bounces of the shoulder at the end of the squat (just like in a jerk movement), you should instruct to make the hand transition on that time. Doing so takes pressure off your palms and lower back, also teaches you proper mechanics of the movement.
Instructing trainees with limitied ROM to have a full grip over the bar during the squat phase will In many cases cause poor technique, extra tension on wrists, and lower back and an
unefficiant thruster.
Do you have video available on what mobility work I can do to help grip the barbell completely. Do I need to stretch wrist, forearms and triceps?
this should help you out: czcams.com/video/0vcpL626U98/video.html
I cant grab the bar in squat position. My wrist are not that flexible that i can grab the bar while resting it on my shoulder in squat position.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
1,000th like! Thanks for the vid!
I’ve tried everything I can’t do them 😤🤯. My wrist are not flexible enough
so it is basically a squat n press and the advice is on the grip only, right? I've seen people talking about breathing, better hip thrust... would any of it actually help?
All of that matters! This video was specifically about grip, but we have some other videos about thruster breathing too :)
If only I had watched this video yesterday... I tried to do thrusters with the wrong grip and sprained my hand. It sucks
Next time! Get healed up and I hope you come back even stronger!
Yey!
This really hurts my wrists.
This is the worst bullshit i have heard....You have the hip extension for the very reason of getting the bar off your shoulders, no matter what your grip is you shouldnt push it up with your grip/fingertips. Dont teach if you dont know what u are talking about
Slowhunk not only is your username awesome, you've done a really good job providing value to this conversation! :) I appreciate you buddy. And yes, please don't use your fingertips to press the barbell!
