Bear Complex

I tried the Bear Complex this morning in the basement. At the gym we have the nice rubber bumper plates that you can drop and not worry. In the basement I have the old metal ones that will crack the concrete so I had to be careful not to ditch the weights.

Here is the Bear:

1) Power clean (from the hang position usually, but it can also be done from the floor)
2) Front squat
3) Push press (from front of shoulders)
4) Back squat
5) Push press (from behind the shoulders)

This site has a great breakout of the exercise.

I did 7 rounds of 7 starting at just the bar (45#) and ended at a total of 120#.  I was pretty happy with the weight, but it was hard on the knees, shoulders, back, legs...  Shall I go on? :)
