One of my Uncle's many prized hunts.W.O.D. 3.13.09
Friday the 13th WOD
The Bear:
For 5 Rounds
7 sets of the sequence:
Power clean
Front squat
Push press
Back squat
Push press
Rest between rounds as needed
RULES: No resting on the ground (even to re-grip). Break up or combine the movements in any way so long as the following are met:
The clean starts at the ground and finishes standing at full hip extension.
The squats have to go below parallel and the presses finish locked out overhead.
Jerking is acceptable, as are squat cleans and deadlifting then hang cleaning.
The squats and pushpresses can be distinct or combined into thrusters, but you can't receive the clean in a squat and go directly into a thruster; stand first. No time component, rest anywhere anytime except on the ground.

This looks like fun!
even with light weight, this sounds difficult. Can't wait!
I hear you Hannah. I am thinking bar or maybe 65 lbs to get through the whole thing with the assortment of little tweaks that I am carrying around today. I am debating taking another rest day, but this one does look interesting. Check out the video that is posted.
Hannah,
I'm fully expecting you to end on the fifth round at 95#!!!!
Haha!! No mercy, brother! 3-2-1..GO!
I was thinking that there are a lot of rules :) I'm psyched for it, not sure I can do 95lbs...esp with no putting the bar down!
Bring it on Ev!!
Oh yeah, this will be fun! Never did this exact workout, so it should be pretty interesting... don't even know where to begin.
sweetness...plenty of movements to improve my form
Saw the video posted and I agree, this workout is about form and strength in keeping that form during the fatiguing reps just like they did.

Nice job everyone, very strong!!
Great job everybody! Sorry I missed it. The Mrs. came home sick from work, so me time was out of the question. I needed an extra rest day this week anyway. Hopefully, I will make it down over the weekend.
