Rx: 11-31-36-41-46
Great job everyone!!!
95 – 105 – 115 fail – 120 – 125 fail
Lost my grip on the 115 set and dropped the bar. So, I decided to go up 5 pounds. Finished the bear with 120.
The 125 set was a challenge to say the least. Made it through 3 rounds before I had to drop the bar. Thanks for all of the encouragement from David, Jeff, Yaneth, Lonny, and everyone else talking me through round 5. Wish I could have finished it. Either way, Im happy with 120.
I feel like my strength levels are finally starting to slowly increase with leg intensive workouts. Its about time. Ive also tried to be a lot more aggressive in my workouts lately. Has helped me a lot.
95-115-130-140-150
Saw a lot of people going very aggressive with their loads and pushing their limits. Yaneth and Lonny in particular pushed hard, having to rest inbetween reps of the sequence. Nice job.
A lot of hard work in the 5:00 class! Kudos to Russell for challenging himself! Patrick Fink killed some double-unders with 118 consecutive during the warm-up of the 6:15 class!
My loads for the “Bear” were:
95-105-115-125-135
45-65-75-85-95
This one’s deceptive to say the least. It also tests your mental toughness.
65-95-105-115-120
I definitely agree with Lonny on the mental toughness aspect. Luckily, I was channeling the great Alabama football coach Ray “the Bare” Perkins during this one to keep me going.

95-115-125-135-150
My forearms, wrists, and shoulders were spent after this WOD. As Fink alluded to I think my hatred of the name “The Bear” and Bammer football fueled me for the last set.
Y’all had to bring football into the picture. Didn’t even cross my mind. I was thinking about grizzlies and black bears.
