Exercise Profile

Battle Rope Thruster Overview

The battle rope thruster workout is a high-intensity exercise that primarily targets the quads, shoulders, and triceps.

Using the battle rope, you perform a squat, then explosively stand up while simultaneously lifting the ropes overhead.

This movement engages the quads as you squat and the shoulders and triceps as you lift the ropes overhead.

While the workout may also activate other muscles, its main focus is on the quads, shoulders, and triceps.
