CFSB Day 175
With the 6am crew today for the much-dreaded Bear! Did some basic DROMs and light barbell warmups, then right to it. The Bear Complex is: a power clean, to a front squat, to a push press, a back squat, and a push press. Repeat that complex 7x for one round without putting the bar down. My attempts:
- 95lb
- 135lb
- 155lb *FAIL* (3)
- 155lb *FAIL* (2)
- 95lb
No wonder this thing is so feared among crossfitters. You can rest as needed in between and during sets, but you can’t let go of the bar, which makes this a real bitch. The hardest part for me was controlling the weight after the last push press, back down to the starting position (touch and go). Grip was fried, I was gassed, and just couldn’t finish the set of 155. Next time I’ll try two super light warmups (65, 95) and then right into an attempt at 155.
