WORKOUT

Part 1

5 Min AMRAP
(As Many Reps as Possible in 5 Min)

DB Man Makers

Rest 3 Min Before Part 2

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs

RX+ ( We REALLY don't think this is necessary btw): go heavier

Score: Total Reps in 5 Min
Goal: 24+ Reps

The manmaker has a good amount of steps. If you try to rush it or hold your breathe, you will get gassed really quickly. Make sure you are always breathing and take the time to find good positions!

For the man makers you will place your hands on the dumbbells roughly shoulder width apart. Jump or step your feet back. Place your knees down if you need to and perform a push up. Then perform a renegade row on each side. From the top of the push up position you will pull the elbow back, bringing the dumbbell to the side of the rib cage. Try to avoid rotating, allowing the hips to come up, or sagging the hips. Lower the dumbbell back to the ground and repeat on the other side.

Then jump or step the feet in. Dumbbells may be inside or outside the feet based on your preference. Heels down, chest up, flat back, knees are
bent. Stand up hard and fast keeping the dumbbells close and pull them up your body as you pull yourself under. Catch with the elbows high and the DBs on your shoulders in the bottom of a squat. Heels down, knees out, butt lower than knees, chest up, belly tight, back flat.

Drive through the heels to stand up. Stand up hard and fast to pop the dumbbells off of the shoulders. Keep the belly tight and finish by pressing to lockout with the biceps by the ears.

Part 2

4 Min AMRAP
(As Many Reps as Possible in 4 Min)

Devil Press

Rest 2 Min Before Part 3
Use same weight as Part 1.

Score: Total Reps in 4 Min
Goal 30 Reps +

You are using the same weight as in part 1 but try to maintain a pace that you can get 7-8 reps per minute.

A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands. You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in. Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!). Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.

The movement finishes with the elbows locked and biceps by the ears! Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!

Part 3

AMRAP 3 Min

Then you will perform a squat clean with your sandbag. For the squat clean you will make sure your knees are bent and chest is UP/back is flat. Keep the arms straight and dig the heels into the ground as you pick up the sandbag. Once past the knees you will almost JUMP and shrug the shoulders with straight arms. Use that momentum to bring the sandbag up to the biceps with the elbows coming around and forward. Pull yourself down and under catching the sandbag on the biceps in the bottom of the squat with elbows high. Make sure the heels are down and knees are out.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

MAN MAKERS - If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight in the row. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!
