***CUTOFF THURSDAY 2/9 at MIDNIGHT!***

 

WOD:

“Bear Complex”

Without stopping or dropping the bar, complete the following sequence, seven times:

Power Clean

Front Squat

Push Press (have bar land behind head, in rear-rack position)

Back Squat

Behind the Neck Push-Press (have bar land on chest, in front-rack position).

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.

As mentioned above, one rep of the Bear complex consists of a Power Clean, a Front Squat, a Push Press, a Back Squat, and a Behind the Neck Push Press.  The kicker is, you cannot let go of the bar during a set (7 reps).  When you go from back push press of one rep to the power clean of the next rep, the bar can only touch and go off the ground.  Also, the clean and the front squat cannot be combined.  You must fully open the hips at the finish of the power clean before starting your front squat.  But, you are allowed to combine the Front Squat and Push Press into a Thrusters.  Same goes for the Back Squat and BTN Push Press into a Back Thruster. Obviously, this is going to be rough to hold onto for 7 reps, so find rest spots where you can.  I would suggest if you need a breather during a round, do it when the bar is on your back for the back squat.  You will do a total of 5 sets of 7 reps.  Rest as much between sets, and increase weight each set.

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Since it is power, no full squat on the cleans. Focus on sticking the landing and shooting the elbows in front of the bar as fast as possible. The reps do not have to be touch and go, but do not wait more than 4 seconds between reps during a set.   At the end of each set, do 1 Jerk.

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  In this video, some good tips from Shane and Laura Sweatt.  Make sure set up is correct before lifting.  Always have four hands (yours and the person lifting off) on the bar at liftoff and when you rack the bar. Get a couple good warm up sets in, then same rules as our other 5X5 lifts.  Increase weight each set.  Make sure the last rep or two of each set really makes you work to complete.
