Bear Complex [135#/95#]

The Bear Complex consists of the following:

Power Clean, Front Squat, Push Press, Back Squat, Push Press

Each movement is performed individually and to completion, prior to moving on.  Athletes will perform a Power Clean, finishing in full extension with the bar in the front rack, Athletes will then complete a Front Squat, finishing in full extension with the bar in the front rack, Atheltes will then Push Press the weight overhead into full lockout, then receive the bar behind the head.  Once behind the head, Athletes will exectute a Back Squat to full extension, then finish with a behind the head Push Press.  There are ways to speed up this progression, but it will not be done for this workout.  What that means is there is no performance of the Squat Clean to Thruster to Back Squat to Push Press.  Should Athletes find the Push Press movement difficult at their work weight, a Push/Power/Split Jerk is allowed.
