A:

10 KB Thrusters Intermediate: @2x12/16 | RX: @2x16/24
Max reps Box jump overs

B:
15 KB Swings Intermediate: @12/16 | RX: @16/24
Max reps Chest to bar / Bar muscle ups

Workout Overview

“Thruster Swing Split” cycles through six 1-minute intervals alternating between kettlebell thrusters paired with max box jump overs, and kettlebell swings with max chest to bar or bar muscle-ups. The format tests power, endurance, and gymnastics capacity under tight time intervals.

Execution and Focus

In the thruster intervals, focus on controlled, consistent reps with clean technique. Max box jump overs should be fast-paced but controlled to avoid trips. The kettlebell swings should be fluid and explosive, transitioning immediately into max pull-ups or muscle-ups with strong kip and core tension.

Strategy and Finish

Keep transitions tight and use the rest minutes to recover as fully as possible. Pace your max reps in a way that allows for sustained output across all rounds. Maintain good breathing and stay mentally focused to maximize rounds and reps within the limited intervals.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • kettlebell thrusters

    The kettlebell thruster is a compound movement that combines a front squat with an overhead press, using one or two kettlebells. In kettlebell thruster workouts, this explosive, full-body exercise builds strength, endurance, and coordination in a single fluid motion.

    In this workout, kettlebell thrusters target the quads, glutes, shoulders, and core while reinforcing balance and midline control. The dynamic transition from squat to press makes this movement ideal for conditioning pieces, high-rep strength sets, or kettlebell complexes.

  • kettlebell swing

    The kettlebell swing is a powerful hip-hinge movement that builds posterior chain strength, core stability, and cardiovascular endurance. A go-to in any kettlebell swing workout, it’s known for improving explosiveness, grip, and conditioning in one efficient motion.

    In this workout, kettlebell swings train your glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders, while developing rhythm and control. Whether Russian or American style, the kettlebell swing is a versatile tool for both beginners and advanced athletes.

  • box jump over

    The box jump over is a fast-paced plyometric movement that builds explosive power, agility, and cardiovascular endurance. Unlike a standard box jump, you jump onto and over the box, increasing intensity and coordination. It’s a go-to in many box jump over workouts for raising heart rate and testing athleticism.

    In this workout, box jump overs challenge your lower body drive, balance, and footwork — especially when performed under fatigue. Whether jumping laterally or facing the box, the box jump over keeps you moving with speed and precision.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.

  • chest to bar

    The chest-to-bar pull-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that takes traditional pull-ups further by requiring the chest to make contact with the bar. Common in competitive CrossFit and advanced chest to bar workouts, it builds upper body strength, pulling power, and grip endurance.

    In this workout, chest-to-bar pull-ups challenge your lats, arms, core, and coordination—especially under high reps or in combination with other movements. Whether performed strict, kipping, or butterfly, chest-to-bar is a true test of bodyweight control and stamina.
