Check out the "Blood on the barbell" series of articles on T-nation, I remmeber Dan John's one had some ideas for finishers there.
Also, Immediately upon reading the title of the thread, I thought of mortal kombat, and even had the voice play in my head "FINISH HIM" haha lol, "SCORPION WINS" I played that game when I was like 5...

I've recently gotten a sledge hammer and a good size forklift tire. Now if the weather would just cooperate a little.

They have to do a review as part of their warm up?
ps. why do you need a finisher? You're written routine isn't enough?
