Front Squat Push Press, a.k.a. Thrusters
5-5-5-5-5
This is a max effort. Goal is the highest load possible without breaking reps, while maintaining proper form and ROM. Rest as needed between sets. Post loads to comments.

Holy Crap!
I watched the exercise at Crossfit after I worked out. I was pausing between reps. So, I think I may have done the exercise wrong. Bruce?
They are sets of 5 reps. You can't drop the bar between reps.
The thruster itself is one fluid movement. From the bottom of the squat you explode and drive the weight overhead. You don't do a front squat then a push press.
Hope that answered your question. I'll make a quick video of a 5 rep set tonight for reference.
Cool, that is what I did, I just paused between reps. The guy on the video never paused.
This WOD isn't for time, so pause all you want.
135-145-155(X)-135-145
Nice work Bruce. That is pretty impressive for a 160 bodyweight. I couldn't believe how much harder the 5th rep was than the 1st. This is a serious full body lift!
