Man Makers

[AT Hiker]

Just started doing HIIT about a month ago and man have I noticed a difference! One of my favorite/least favorite routines is the "Man Maker", I do the modified Seal Man Maker.
Here is a 45 sec video on how to do them,

A good HIIT routine is to do 5 seal man makers with 20lbs dumb bells, 10 forward and back lounges, 20 sit ups, 10 pushups, 10 body weight squats and row 500m for a time better than 2minutes. Do this 4-5 round and your blood will be pumping!

Anyone else incorporate anything like this into your routines? These things really kick my butt, however my wife and I just went on a 19 mile overnight backpacking trip and I could tell the difference. My core strength and legs have greatly improved (I do squats and deadlifts as well) and my endurance was better than ever. I know some say interval training does no good for endurance but I disagree, it has helped me!

Sounds like a pretty good work out. I'm going to give it a try in the morning and see how i do!

I will tell you this, I tried with 40lb bells and could barely do 2. Throws those in with some other intensity movements and you will have a good sweat.

I don't do that routine but might give it a try. Right now I am doing the following every gym work out 3 times a week along with weight training.
3 sets of 45 lunges with 50 lbs of weight alternated with 3 sets 1 minute each of Jump rope in between.
When done with the above.
X5 sets.......set of 10 inverted pullup,set of 5 overhand pullups, set of 10 Feet-elevated pushups, 5 sets of each.
then four sets of 25 setups with 25lbs of weight.
We will throw in the Squatted balance BOSU-Ball holding 10 lb weight out ib front of you while squatted 3 sets 30seconds each.

Did this work out this morning, 3 sets, may could have probably done 4, not sure. My time on the rowing machine, was 2:08, 2:12 and 2:20, i was pretty gassed at the end!!

Good deal! Really good for the first time. I know guys that can kill that row machine at sub 1:30...I think my heart would explode if I did that!
