Bear Crawl Your A** Off

I am trying to reconnect to some tougher WODs and I thought, what better way to do that than with some bear crawls!! I browsed the archive and pulled out a fine little number and headed off to the GLOBO.

I was disappointed when I got there as my comrades were MIA, I thought, dang, this is something I would like to share with them. Our programming is largely a joint effort, and typically it doesn't take much convincing as Rich and Brad are game for just about anything, unless there are extinuating circumstances (injury, major DOMS of some sort, etc).

Luckily, after my warmup, Rich pulled in and ready to roll with the WOD I had picked. Here it is:

4 minutes of:

50ft bear crawl
10 push press, 95lbs
50ft bear crawl
5 power cleans, 95lbs

Repeat for 4 rounds, rest is 1 minute between rounds.

Lordy, lordy this was one bad mother. I got through the first round, I did 2 and 3/4 cycles through. I only managed my trademark forward roll coming out the bear crawls on the first 2 rounds (expelling way too much energy for the fun reward). For the next round, I pulled in with just 2 cycles through, and the last 2 rounds were about 1 full round plus one set of presses. Dang, shoulders were on fire!! Those bear crawls are just madness after you really dig into that WOD.

Good one Dwayne, thanks much! ha.
