Post Workout:

I wanted to practice thrusters keeping the movements fast and explosive.  Pick a safe weight and warm up properly.  Before attempting thrusters you need a good front squat and press/push press  A thruster is a barbell front squat flowing into a overhead press.  It is important to violently open the hip (extension) before you press.  It is required in cross-fit that you break parallel on all squats (hips below knee in the bottom position).  Thrusters can be performed with dumbbells as a regression.
