Bear on Bear

Mobility WOD-Improve your Thoracic Position in the Squat

(A) Back Squat 20RM-Add 2.5kg from Last Time



(B) "The Bear" 7 reps of the following complex. 1 Power Clean, 1 Front Squat, 1 Push Press, 1 Back Squat, 1 Push Press. Starting Weight R'xd is 35/25kg. Pick a partner with same starting weight and challenge them to the death.(5 Rounds minimum)

Scoring-Last Man Standing

This movement is reaching legendary status among those who dare to try it. The Bear is a brutal test of courage and a real challenge both physically and mentally. It's also great for showing you exactly where your weak links are. The Bear, probably more than any other single movement, will zero in on those weaknesses and, in many cases, fix them.

Another advantage of this beast is it teaches the body to work in a single harmonious fashion. Your body will become a seamless series of links: fluid, powerful, fast, and with great range of motion.

  2. Back Squat: 20@107.5
    The Bear: 5rnds @ 35,42,47,54,60. Second time I've done this, so I knew what I was in for. Fun, but still a brutal WOD.
