Repeat of the classic Bear Complex. Last time was in January of 2020.

Complete 5 rounds of the following for max weight in the last round (in other words, not putting the bar down until all sets are done).

7 sets of:

  • Power Clean
  • Front Squat
  • Push Press
  • Back Squat
  • Push Press

Results: Got up to 115lbs last time. This time 85-95-105-105-115lbs. Those were hard rounds… not sure my final 2 presses were fully locked out but will take it.

4 rounds of

  • 6 x Back Squats @ 85% of 3RM

Then 2 rounds of

  • 12 x Front Squats @ 75% of above weight

Then rotate 30 seconds on/30 seconds off for each movement for 16 minutes (4 rounds of each)

  • Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • Alternating Kettlebell Halos @ 14kg (around left plus around right = 1 rep)
  • Kettlebell Push Press @ 14kg per hand

Results: Used 195lbs for the Back Squats, 145lbs for the Front Squats. Didn’t keep track of exact numbers on the metcon, just tried to stay consistent for each round.

4 sets of

  • 6 x Pause Back Squats @ 80% of 3RM

Then 2 sets of

  • 20 x Front Squats @ 50% of Back Squat Weight above

Then a Kettlebell finisher from Joeller Blades on Instagram..

In a kickstand stance (one leg stepped back behind the other), with a single Kettlebell, AMRAP in 10 minutes

  • 2 x Kettlebell Deadlift
  • 2 x Kettlebell Cleans
  • 2 x Kettlebell Squats
  • 2 x Kettlebell Push Press
  • Repeat on other side

Results: Used 160lbs for the Back Squats. 80lbs for the Front Squats. Metcon used 24kg… 8 rounds (maybe only 7, wasn’t using a counter). 24kg was quite heavy… probably could have used an 18 and had better form.
