The Bear and 2 min Defense


The Bear Complex

As soon as I saw the name yesterday morning I was nervous and for good reason.

This thing is tough.

5 Full Rounds Of:

7 Sets Of The Sequence

Power Clean

Front Squat

Push-Press

Back Squat

Push-Press

Increasing weight

Break Up Or Combine Movements So Long As The Following Is Met:

-NO Resting On Ground During Sequence, Not Even To Re-Grip

-NO Jerks

-NO Receiving Cleans In Full Squats and Going Directly Overhead

-Cleans Start On The Ground

-Squats Go Below Parallel

-Push-Presses Finish In Full Lock Out

-Deadlifting To The Hang Is Okay Prior To Power Clean

-Squats and Push-Presses Can Be Combined Into Thrusters

R1: 95#s
R2: 115#s
R3: 115#s
R4: 125#s
R5: 135#s (failed on the 6th rep, completed last 2 after the drop)

I was warned to rest today and come back ready for Thursday. When I asked why, all he said was "go look up '2 minute defense' on the main site." So I did. Now I have 2 full days to worry about this
