With a kettlebell I can do presses much more easily, and they have had a great rehabilatative effect as well. What is your opinion on doing thrusters with KB's (Db's work, but I find the KB provides a better fit owing to the way the weight is distributed) vs. a barbell? Regardless, Thrusters do, in fact, suck...but they are effective! Hi, my left shoulder prevents me from going overhead too often with a heavy weight.

Dave werner claims that the first time that skills are important is the 35 thrusters at three quarters body weight. Sorry about that.

With light loads, they are also a very useful as a diagnostic tool. How is the bottom of your front squat? Are you balanced on your feet? Maintaining lumbar and thoracic arch? Solid rack position? How about over head? Locked out all the way? etc thrusters are the worst…

They are a total gasser, but was one lift I could do when I was flying solo at the globo gym. I did them often and really like them. Definitely agree they are a good test of wills/endurance, as well as muscle builder. Plus, I think they can be a big confidence booster at times - the first time I did "Fat Fran", I thought I had done something really special - it took like 15 mins., but I was more excited I finished.
