CrossFit Open Workout 20.2 Movement Standards and Technique Tips
DUMBBELL THRUSTERS
• Each set of dumbbell thrusters begins with dumbbells on the ground.
• Hold the dumbbells in the front-rack position during the squat.
• Dumbbells move from the bottom of a front squat to full lockout overhead.
• A full squat clean into the thruster is allowed when the dumbbells are taken from the floor.
• The hip crease must clearly pass below the top of the knees in the bottom position.
• The rep is credited when:
– the dumbbells are locked out overhead, with the hips, knees, and arms fully extended.
– both dumbbells are directly over or slightly behind the middle of the body.
• Continue pressing the weight up until lockout. Re-dipping during the press (i.e., performing a jerk) will result in a “no rep.”
• Athletes may not receive any assistance moving the dumbbells.
