We did a wod today in honor of our gym buddy Duane who's birthday it was. Duane's a big strong dude and he loves heavy wods, especially one's like "The Bear" where you have to complete a series of bar exercises without ever resting the bar on the ground. So, we did this wod today "Bear" style. It was a rough one. "The Duane" was 5 rounds for time at 135# of:
-4 deadlifts
-3 hang power cleans
-2 front squats
-1 press
-1 time through constitutes 1 rep, 3 reps constitutes 1 round. You can only rest the bar on the ground between rounds. Any drop during a round requires starting the round over. When the weight touches the ground for the deadlift, it must be touch and go to not be considered a drop.
time=10:20
I got through this one pretty easy but the last round was rough. My grip is improving but it's still a big weakness. During round 5, my grip was gone. But I pulled through without a drop. I did drop between rounds but took way to long of rests. I'll look to do this one again. I should be getting this one done in the 8 minute range. I have some work to do.
