“The Bear Complex”
7 Sets of the following sequence:
Power Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat
Push Press
5 Rounds – Rest between Rounds as needed!
Rules: These moves are to be performed as one rep: Power Clean, Front Squat, Push Press, Back Squat, and Push Press. We will do this seven times for one round for a total of 5 rounds.
You can rest as long as you want in between rounds, with a 20 minute time limit. Bar must touch the ground each sequence but cannot rest on the ground or it terminates the set.
Goal is to increase loads each round to complete “The Bear” with max load. Your weights used will be your score!
My weight totals were 95-105-115-125-135 for a total of 575lbs. I'm content with my results as I continued to move up in weight progressively without faltering.
Here's a video showing how to do it:
impressive on the weight, not an easy one, hence the name, it's a real bear!
