**All that’s missing with this one is the kitchen sink!
I believe it has been awhile since we’ve done Man Maker’s, so including them as part of a chipper workout is a nice reintroduction. But you’ve gotta EARN them by completing the rowing and sit ups and pull ups and burpees. And once you get to – and complete! – the man maker’s, you get to work your way back UP the movement ladder.
Big thing here is consistency – keep moving. Start your row at a consistent pace, and try to go faster on the 2nd time through. Break up the sit ups in sets of 20s or 10s if these are something you’re slow at, so you can get through them without slowing down too much overall. The pull ups might take some time due to the volume, especially if you have pull ups. If you’re working on pull ups, still make sure that your scale is something that is challenging yet do able. Jumping pull ups your jam? Cool. Make sure you’re still having to PULL yourself up and not just JUMP your chin over. And I believe the last time we did burpees over the rower was during this monstrosity our second full week back in the gym. And we had no AC then, so they should be MUCH faster this time.. *side eye..*
And then back up the ladder. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Imma be doing this one too, so as much as I talk strategy in the posts, I can’t say that I hold to it every time. Have a plan going into the workout and adjust and adapt as needed.
