Metcon

Due to limited equipment, I made today a metcon workout instead of a strength workout. I did The Bear complex again, for five rounds of five reps. As prescribed, I should have done seven reps per round. Next time. This one is...well...a bear. It involves your body completely from top to bottom. It really is amazing how you run smack into a wall somewhere in the middle of each round. It seems so simple and easy on paper...until you do it. Damned good workout. One rep is:

Power clean into a
front squat followed by a
push press into a
back squat into a
push press

and begin next rep

Strength day plus metcon

Strength:
Squat 3x5 Working sets
Bench press 3x5 Working sets
Chins-kipping 3 sets to failure
Dips: 3 sets to failure weighted with 25lb dumbbell

Metcon:
10 reps
Hang power clean into a
front squat followed by a
push press into a
back squat into a
push press

and begin next rep

This is more commonly known as The Bear complex, though I did screw it up a bit. They should have been power cleans, not hang power cleans. No matter. It was a good burst at the end of a workout. Of course, this is quite a bit less than the five rounds of seven reps the bear calls for. Maybe another time.

I reset my squats back about 15% from where I was as I planned to do. I did much better on the bench today than I did last week.
