I apparently used up my limited supply of wisdom talking Scott out of doing the Murph today, because I tried the Bear despite too little sleep last night and too many glasses of red wine today at J Anthony's celebratory fete.

Great workout, the bear complex really gets your HR up. Disappointed with myself, because despite the technique and strength issues, this was ultimately a failure of willpower - I think I could have pushed through those failures with enough drive. Linked the squats and pushpresses as thrusters for as long as I could, much more efficient that way. Rested with the bar on my shoulders when I needed to. Cleans were messy - started out basically muscle cleaning, devolved into proper power cleans, and by the end was essentially reverse curling the weight.

This bear has claws.
