Workout of the Day

Watch this video: CROSSFIT BEAR COMPLEX

“The Bear Complex”
Without stopping or dropping the bar, complete the following:

35-35-35-35-35

5 sets of the sequence:

7 rounds of:

Power Clean;
Front Squat;
Push Press (have bar land behind head, gently, in rear-rack position);
Back Squat;
Push-Press (have bar land on chest, in front-rack position).
Once you have completed the sequence seven times consecutively without stopping, drop the bar. Add weight, attempt another sequence of 7. Repeat for a total of five rounds.

BEAR COMPLEX RULES:

There is no time limit for this progression. Athletes may take as much time or as little time as needed between rounds.

Once a sequence of seven has been started it cannot be stopped. If you need to rest, you must do so with the bar on your back, on your chest or in the “hang” position – it may not rest on the ground.

Begin with light weight, and add weight after each completed sequence of seven.

NOTE:

Post your scores to the Whiteboard.

    Oooooo, I’m excited! I’ve never done the bear complex yet! I’ve seen people do part of it, heard a lot about it, never did it myself. This should be awful fun!

    Warm up well! Especially your wrists and shoulders!!

    Start light. This is harder than it looks on paper.

    Your weakest lift in the complex will be your limiting factor. I di 65-75-85-95-105. The push press is the limiting factor for me.

    DO NOT CRASH THE BAR DOWN ON YOUR NECK when lowering the barbell to the back squat position. The barbell should land on your traps. Allow your body to “give”. Flex at the knees (lower your center of gravity upon barbell “impact”) when lowering the barbell behind your head.

    BREATHE! This workout feels like a metcon no a strength workout.

    Move smoothly and efficiently. Don’t waste energy by constantly adjusting your hands and feet. Do so minimally and only as necessary.

    The barbell can be “rested” in the front rack position, on your back and in the creases of your hips, if you bend forward.

    Go forth and get stronger!
