COACHES NOTES
Be careful not to peacock this one, guys! Don't rush through the weighted movements. Find a steady pace that you can hold onto for all 4 rounds. You're shooting for each round to take 4-6 minutes!! Assuming each 200m run takes 1 minute or less, you're working with 1-2 minutes for the Manmakers. Test out a few reps in the warm up and make sure you can get 1 rep done in 10-15 seconds. If not, customize it! You should have 1-2 minutes for the Devil Press, too, which is 1 rep every 5-8 seconds. Again, practice in the warm up and customize if needed!

200M RUN
You're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
1 minute of:
Double/Single Unders
Low Step Ups
Mountain Climbers
Toe Taps to a Low Target

MANMAKER
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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Burpee + Power Clean + Front Squat + Push Press
Burpee + Power Clean + Thruster
Single DB Man Maker

DEVIL PRESS
This movement 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!

For the deadlift make sure the heels stay down and the bar stays close. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Start with a hinge at the hip and a bend in the knee with straight arms. Stand completely at the top. Then bring the bar back to below the knee but not all of the way to the ground. Keep the knees slightly bent and the chest up. Pull the bar to the chest with the elbows going back then lower back to below the knee. Stand.

Perform a hang squat clean by dipping forward slightly, reaching the butt back and bending the knees. Allow the bar to travel down the leg. Chest up, belly tight. Arms straight. Bar close. Stand fast and shrug. Pull the bar up your body as you pull yourself under. Shoot the elbows around and through quickly to catch on the shoulders with the elbows high in the bottom of a squat. Heels down, knees out, butt lower than knees, chest up, belly tight.

Stand up hard and fast. Pop the bar off of the shoulders. Keep belly tight and press to lockout!

Run/Jog

To manage or avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock.

If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.

Manmakers

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!

Devil Press

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. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, Thrusters, Wall Balls or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

DB/Back/Front/Air Squat

If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or if you find yourself bearing down to get out of the bottom, try subbing a target or assisted squat to shorten the range of motion. A box squat is always a great idea especially during pregnancy to strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly.

Burpee

Pay attention to any coning or doming you have in the plank position of the burpee or any sensation of pressure on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. Feel free to sub: No push up burpee, Elevated burpee, Step back/forward burpee, Air Squat + Elevated Push Up, Table Top (all fours position) + Air Squat, Ball Slams, KB Swings, Farmer/Goblet march, Glute Bridges, Sumo Deadlift High Pull
