Death By Manmakers
Death by DB Man makers - every minute perform 1 DB manmaker - every additional minute adds 1 more rep. minute 1 = 1 rep minute 2= 2 reps minute 3=3 reps and so on... This will be challenging. Once you cannot complete the required reps in the minute window you are done. Note the last minute you successfully finish, We will re do this workout! Also when you are finished, take that rep you failed and hit it for 2 more sets with 2 minutes rest between. EX: I failed to complete 8 reps on round 8. - note my score. then, complete 1x8 db manmakers , rest 2 min, and do 1 more set of 8 db manmakers
