Fitness - "Bear" WOD - 11/02

Damn! This on hurt, especially with how out of it my body felt (due to the horrible weekend of nutrition). Although My partner and I posted a blazing time (the fasted of the day by at least 2 minutes) It was a fight for me all the way through. I found it tough to get a rhythm both with the complex, and my breathing. No focus today, just lots of warming up and stretching.

One time through the complex equalled one rep and each round consisted of seven reps. Partner one would go 7 times through the complex and rest while partner two went through it. Then partner two would rest while it went back to partner one.

WOD: "Bear" complex with 60KG, 5 rounds (7 times through the complex = 1 round) for time of
hang clean
front squat
push press
back squat
push press

Score: 14:20
Calories burned (WOD only): 444

I found it best to link as many of these movements together as possible to make it more fluid and efficient. For example, hang clean-front squat-push press became, hang clean-thruster. And then it was a matter of lowering the bar behind your neck for the back squat-push press, which became like a thruster but with the weight in a back squat position (as opposed to a front squat position).

I got through my first two rounds unbroken and didn't set the bar down. The next two rounds I broke up into 5 & 2. My last round was broken up into 4 & 3.

This was a lot of work. I was spent after this one and it was just what I needed to start the week and my nutrition commitment. I look forward to feeling better tomorrow morning and hitting it hard this week in the gym.
