Bear Complex

Today was my first go around with the bear complex. I am not sure how this little gem got missed in my 3+ years of CrossFitting, but it did. For those not familiar with the bear complex, you can check it out here.

I did what I think was a pretty standard approach to doing the movement.

Bear Complex
95lbs
5 rounds
7 reps

I started with 95lbs, and was doing about 1-2 minutes of rest between rounds. First round was not bad at all, 2nd round had me breathing a bit heavier, 3 round I was feeling it pretty good. Then, on the 4th round, after 4 reps, I had to drop the bar. I was a little pissed as I do a fair amount of grip training and feel mine is a good bit better than most (reminder that I suck - that I can always be better, and that I need to test grip in many scenarios before I say I have good grip). After a short rest, knocked out the other 3 reps. I took a slightly longer rest before the last set, and knocked that out unbroken.

That was a good WOD.
