How to Do a Man Maker



- With a pair of dumbbells on the floor in front of you, get into the upper push-up position.
- Hold one dumbbell in each hand.
- Alternating between left and right, lift each dumbbell up off the ground. Keep the dumbbell by your side lifting your elbow up as high as you can (pass your back) then lower the dumbbell back down to the floor.
- Once you have done this with both the left and right dumbbell, return to the upper push-up position.
- Using the dumbbells for support and balance quickly jump your feet forward so they land below your chest.
- Get into the squat position, bring the dumbbells up to shoulder level
- Explosively extend your legs, whilst at the same time lift both dumbbells above your head, fully extending both arms.
- Now lower the dumbbells back down to shoulder level, and return to the squat position. Now carefully put the dumbbells back on the ground and jump your feet backwards, returning to the upper push-up
- This would be one repetition
