Man maker - a near perfect compound exercise

[Fiddleman 4,376]

I like the man makers because there are so many different weight exercises built into a single rep.

Try doing the following:

30 Man-Makers (Choose Weight) Man-Maker = DBs to the ground, kick back, push-up, row left, row right, jump feet in, power clean, push press

As you can see, a single rep has rows, a bench press a power clean and a push press. It even has a burpee jump in it to the feet.I do these with 25 # and am thoroughly toasted afterwards. For me, the push presses get weak first with my shoulders unable to lift vertical by rep 20 or so.

Here is a video:

You only need your body and a pair of dumbbells to get a full body workout with these.

DB = dumbell.

Love em! Those solid dumbells with flat surfaces look important. Round ones would tend to get out of hand especially after you get fatigued. Good suggestion!

I haven't worked out in quite a while because my work is so blasted stenious but the time will come when I will be back to brain work and workouts will be back on the agenda.

Try them out. They are fun! They will definitely push you depending on weight and speed of execution.

Great exercise. And yeah, the overhead press is definitely my weak link.

Those look quite a bit different than the 5 lb.DBs I use.

I don't think I posses the coordination required. That's quite a sequence!
