SOME GPP WORK (MAN MAKERS) :::: “People are afraid of change, but what got you where you are may not get you where you want to be. But what about conditioning, or GPP (general physical preparedness)? Westside uses numerous special means.” :::: #thereisnooffseason #hwpo #manmakers #gpp #rugby #football #conjugatenation (at Rancho Cucamonga, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPEkqHMHcv/?igshid=lxgvyk7c5vas

What's a man maker? The Man Maker is a full-body Dumbbell movement that combines a Push-Up, Rows, and a Squat Clean Thruster in a single complex. ... At the top of the Push-Up position, complete a Dumbbell Row on the right, then a Dumbbell Row on the left. What are Thrusters workout? A thruster is a combination of two traditional compound weight-training exercises: the front squat and overhead press. Exercise combinations, such as the thruster, are sometimes referred to as complexes. You can do thrusters with dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, a medicine ball or a sandbag. Do Man makers build muscle? Benefits Of Man Makers Essentially, Man Makers are highly efficient time savers for an all-in-one workout. They work your core, calfs, hamstrings, glutes, quads, posterior chain, biceps, shoulders, chest and back while pumping your heart. CONCLUSION; Man makers are a great way to improve strength and cardiovascular endurance while using a little external resistance. This advanced exercise flow combines various elements of the push-up, renegade row, burpee, clean, and overhead push press. Man Makers are also a unilateral movement, excellent for diagnosing and fixing muscle imbalances. #manmakers #manmaker #thruster #cardiovascularhealth #hiitcircuit #metabolicconditioning #strenghttraining #renegaderows #functionalfitness #plyometriccardiocircuit #fitlife @pumame #caloriesburned #crossfittraining (at Somewhere Down The Road) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4sktlhf_W/?igshid=1qaxb4k1zla54

🥵2-Minute Man-Makers😓 Tag 🏷 a buddy and see who can tally up more legit reps in 2 minutes. Set the clock ⏰ for 2 minutes and see how many of these “Man-Maker Variations” you can squeeze out inside 2 minutes. This is a great 👍 finisher to empty the tank at the end of any 🏋️‍♀️ workout. Or as part of a brutal circuit. Scale the DB to your ability level I went with 30lbs DB’s and got in 20 reps exactly inside the 2 minutes and it left me 🤮 feeling it. As always chase quality reps even when going max reps for time -Enjoy and let us know how many reps you banged out in 2 minutes. Have a kick ass Sunday everyone! #menshealth #manmakers #cardio #workoutmotivation #fitnessmotivation #sundayfunday #workout #sweat #fitness #personaltrainer #47daytransformation #onlinecoaching #scottsdale #az (at Jeremy Scott Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YZdDVJci1/?igshid=zk3jb3es5605

WOD - For Time

50 Manmakers

Completed: 22.42 mins

Used the 15kg DB’s.

Was just gonna do some core work and some rowing intervals today, but my friend Andi told me what the workout for the day was at a local CrossFit gym (spoiler alert: it’s what I did today lol) so we decided to do it at some point today.

I hate dumbbell work, especially with two in any kind of front rack and squat - so I was dreading this one all day. 

The 15′s felt so heavy! The core definitely felt worked with each row and often times during reps I had to complete the push up + row each arm portion, then stand up and rest before getting into the thruster. Was just so gassed.

I just tried to think of the total reps as sets of 5 so as not be overwhelmed by the total number and this worked well. Pleasantly surprised by my time ‘cos I honestly thought it’d take me closer to 30 minutes than 20.

I know I already posted this picture (#newfilterwhodis) but I wanted to share my motivation epiphany from my #GoldsFit class this morning! . Let me set the scene for you. I walk into my first class and there is the trainer, a guy who maybe wasn’t in the best shape but still obviously knew what he was doing, and a young, very fit and athletic guy. And then there’s little me who is on day 3 of lifting anything, and feeling fairly pathetic for going straight for the 5-pound dumbbells (which were MUCH smaller than what the guys grabbed). . Now the trainer was amazing and never once made me feel bad or lesser for what I was lifting! She explained every move for me, so I wasn’t lost, and was very uplifting and encouraging the whole time. I’m not sure I could thank her enough!!! (#shoutout) . But that and my usual mantras weren’t cutting it today. I felt weak, pathetic, and hating myself for thinking I could do a class like that. And then something funny happened. . For those of you who have seen Parks and Rec (if you haven’t you should because it’s amazing, even if only for this episode), I’d like to call your attention to season 5 episode 11, “Women in Garbage.” When Leslie and April get stuck and can’t move a giant fridge, a man from the restaurant comes out and has a bit of a huffy fit. He says something along the lines of (pardon my paraphrasing), “they need to send bears but instead they send canaries!” So while doing my best to power through a burpees, in my head I imagined these guys and this trainer getting exasperated over having to be in a class with a sad little canary. . Instead of giving in to that and letting myself sink lower, my next thought felt like #LeslieKnope herself speaking to me! I then said to myself, “No. I refuse to be a canary!” AND IT WORKED!! While the #manmakers were kicking my butt, while pushups about did me in, and while all the lifting reps made my arms scream (btw, they haven’t stopped) I kept telling myself that I refused to be a canary! I don’t have to be a bear, but I refuse to be a canary! #NoCanaries #MaybeAnEmu #buildingbadasswomen #buildinghealthyhabits #noomnation #weightlossjourney #noom https://www.instagram.com/p/Byv8oscBZLG/?igshid=1nfznf7g59m2y
