20081124 - Squat Thrusters, 9 reps at 205 pounds, Kirez

November CrossFit Thrusters challenge, week 4 day 1: 205 pounds, 9 reps.
This was a mistake, I was supposed to do 195 lbs, but put 45+25+10 lbs on each side of the bar.

work on your front squats

What do you have in mind?

I very intentionally use a shoulder press grip on the bar, because the thruster moves directly from the front squat into the press. Using a proper rack grip doesn't work for me, I've tried many times.

This squat is the best!

I was experimenting with weightlifting shoes at the time, these were nearly identical... just ugly as sin with the wrong clothes :-) They're a good quality pair of Johnston & Murphy's.

Nice lift, One question, whats with the shoes?

Good weight but your form needs work.
