I think everyone has seen the hitler thruster youtube. Here's a thread that speaks of the barbell thrusters crappiness

Now it could be put off as just a rant, but what he says actually kinda makes sense. And later on in that thread someone quoted Dan John

Dan John wrote: Thrusters really never worked, but I thought it was because I was a goon. When you have dozens of people fail to do it, you realize it sucks. There was a time where I thought thrusters might be the next big deal, now I think they are horrific for most.

I can see the posts following this already, but for the kinds of athletes I deal with, ignore them. There is a worthy kettlebell one handed variation for teaching purposes, but I have moved my athletes from this...

Have never liked thrusters. Maybe its because I suck at them.

Front Squats and Overhead Press... My 2 weakness.

Some other moves to make you suck wind in no time with kbs:
-2 arm long cycle
-2 arm snatch
-1 arm long cycle
-1 arm snatch
-And lastly the most evil: the Swing.

I generally find deep squats not that great for conditioning for general population. Even if you can squat properly, the fatigue in the quads will kill your technique in no time flat.

Ballistics are kinder on your technique.

Damn, I never knew Goi trawled redneck hilly-billy forums like IronGarm. I have to admit though, their style of bitching is very humourous.
