Workout notes:  Looks a lot like the first workout listed on CrossFit.com! If you normally have trouble maintaining an upright torso with barbell thrusters and front squats the dumbbells can be a great option.  The dumbbell centers weight over your body which you will naturally want to keep right over your base of support.  Remember to explode at drive vertically with the hips as you start the press so drive them upward!
