Man Maker

Push-up, renegade row each arm, squat clean, thruster — all in one rep with dumbbells. The ultimate full-body HIIT complex. The most complete full-body exercise that exists. Combines push, pull, squat, and press in a single rep. Extreme metabolic demand — heart rate will spike immediately.

How to Do Man Maker: Step by Step

  1. Start with push-up on dumbbells
  2. Row each dumbbell while in plank
  3. Jump feet to hands, stand with a squat clean
  4. Finish with a thruster press overhead

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Rushing through and skipping the row
  • Not maintaining plank stability during the row
  • Using too heavy dumbbells — form collapses fast
  • Not fully pressing overhead on the thruster

Man Maker Tips

  • Use hexagonal dumbbells so they don't roll
  • Start with 15-20lb dumbbells — this is much harder than it looks
  • 5 reps of man makers is a legitimate workout
  • Focus on quality over speed — each component should be clean
