1 Set consists of:
7 Rounds
Deadlift
Power clean
Front squat
Push press or jerk
Back squat
Push press or jerk from the back
*You must add weight every set. The bar may not rest on the ground; touch-and-go only between push press from the back and deadlift.
Score by highest weight lifted for an entire set.
Hadn't performed this WOD in over a year and, well, it was a bear. Had high hopes of succeeding with something close to bodyweight, but it was not to be. Turns out 60 thrusters the day before the "Bear" is not the best idea. Starting light at 95# my quads just blew up and I knew it was gonna be a fight. 115# and 135# went off pretty well. 155# took about four minutes (I checked the video) but I got through it. 175# was just a shit show. The cleans were easy enough, as were the squats, but I just didn't have the legs to jerk the bar with any authority, and failed at the end of round 3. Gaming this to hit your big weight early, and accepting failure in the next round or two would certainly yield higher scores, but that would, in large part defeat the purpose of getting the best workout in that you could. It would also be douche-baggery at it's worst.
Rest tomorrow
