Can anyone tell me the difference between thrusters and push press feel like I am doing the same thing. Please help! Lol.
Michelle V.
Thrusters are a full front squat then you press it over your head. PP is just a dip (slight bend of knees) and drive (press overhead)
Thanks Jen Roe. I guess you can tell I am a newbie.

I've been following along for about 2 weeks now,and only just realized I should be posting my times. Derp. I did 18:42, but defs should have upped my weights. I think I could have done at least 30 lb thrusters.

Anybody have tips on breathing techniques while running??? That is definitely my biggest barrier!
Lea-I've always really focused on fully exhaling. I try to time my breathing with my pace-like inhale for 1 to 2 steps in nose then exhale for 2 to 3 steps through the mouth. Basically, when I'm needing to regroup during a run I over-emphasize the exhale. Sometimes I exhale in strong puff like efforts through pursed lips…controlled but to ensure I've emptied my lungs before inhaling again. I'm not an expert AT ALL, but that's what's done it for me for years 🙂
Ok question when you say thrusters 20 lbs is that 20 lb total or 20 lb for each dumbbell?
Erin- always total weight.
Decided to mix it up since I did a sprint workout yesterday and used the elliptical. Bad decision! Felt like I was running through mud and it really extended my time. Oh well, good workout. 30:30 with 24# thrusters.
23:17. I'm tired of comparing my old pre-baby times and being reminded of how much I suck still!

Erin – 20 lbs total
Okay – so I have the worst time again, but I DID IT! I actually ran more than I walked so THAT is progress for me! I had no trouble with situps and thrusters, except I would just lay in the floor trying to breathe before I could start my situps! lol – I kept picturing that shirt from the other day's picture – You'll pass out before you die! lol
32:07
24# thrusters
The only person you should compete with is yourself, and the fact that you finished makes you awesome! Good work!!!
