Bear Complex III

Redid the Bear Complex again. Last time I did it was in 2015 and before that in 2014.

Complete 5 rounds of the following. Record max weight in the round where you are able to do a complete set unbroken (in other words, not putting the bar down until all 7 sets are done).

7 sets of the following series of movements:

  • Hanging Clean
  • Front Squat
  • Push Press
  • Back Squat
  • Push Press

Results: Unfortunately could only manage 110lbs/50kg again, so no improvement on my 2015 efforts :-(.   Progression was 65/95/110/115(failed in set 5)/115.  For the last two rounds broke the sets into 5+2 then 4+2+1.

First do 3 rounds of

  • 3 x Turkish Getups per Arm

  • Max Effort TRX Rows
  • Rest 90 Seconds

Then for time do increasing/decreasing ladders of

Double Unders, Dumbbell Deadlift, Dumbbell Front Squat and Handstand Pushups

Crossfit mainsite WOD from 2013….

For time do

  • 100 Double Unders

Then 5 rounds of

  • 10 x Dumbbell Deadlifts @ 20kg per hand
  • 10 x Dumbbell Front Squats @ 20kg per hand
  • 10 x Handstand Pushups

Then

  • 100 Double Unders

Results:   17:45. Good shoulder workout.  20kg Dumbbells are a lot harder than a 40kg bar (would have probably finished in half the time)!
