Dumbell Man-Maker is initiated from the standing position.  Athlete hits the deck with dumbells in hand, similar to a strict burpee.  Athlete performs a pushup on the dumbells, dumbell row with each arm, another pushup on the dumbells, then returns to the standing position.  Dumbells are then cleaned to shoulders and pressed or push pressed overhead.  This cycle counts as 1 rep.

Wallball with Pushup is initiated with a standard Wallball shot.  After athletes receive rebound, they will put ball on the ground, and perform a pushup on the unstable ball.  After the pushup, athlete will reset and initiate the next rep with a Wallball shot.

Setup for GHD Hip & Back Extension is with athletes hips in front of the GHD pad.  Athletes will then complete a standard Back Extension ["cat back"], with the movement finishing in full extension of the spine.
