As I mentioned in my last post, a few of my friends did the “bear complex” WOD @ crossfit central yesterday. It looked like a lot of fun. Given the cardio nature of our workout this morning, I thought a little strength training wouldn’t hurt =).
The workout consists of five (5) rounds of the the following:
7 reps of…
- Power clean
- Front squat
- Push press
- Back Squat
- Push press
Given the lesson I took from my workout with just hang cleans, I decided to be a little modest on this one as I have no idea what my capacity is for a workout like this. With that in mind, I started with 65lbs on the bar. My 5 sets broke down like this:
- 65lbs
- 75lbs
- 85lbs
- 90lbs
- 95lbs
In the end, I think that I could have done more weight, but it was still pretty damn challenging to do all of that without putting the bar down for the 7 reps. I will look forward to not working too hard over the weekend.
