Great morning back with 0600! Thanks to Dennis for some stellar coaching. I know that "the bear" has made me cry before--it is always a humbling experience.

Can someone explain to me the Bear Complex please. Is it 5 rounds of 7 reps of each? I didn't know if the 5 rounds 7 rounds was a typo. Thanks!

Michael, it is 5 rounds of 7 rounds....confusing it is.

Hands must stay on the bar at all times.

You will do the movements in that order one time...going from ground to power clean, immediately into a front squat, immediately to push press, immediately to back squat, immediately to push press, back down to the floor...repeat six more times...remember, no hands off the bar at anytime during the seven sets. Once you've completed the movements seven times, that's round one.

Four to go. It's a burner!

Tracey (or anyone else), do you see a big difference in your max squat between high bar and low bar? I would rather rest the bar on my shoulders for the high bar than keep the bar weight on my wrists for a low bar. I'm assuming sending your butt back is supposed to help with the low bar as opposed to keeping it straight with the high bar but my high bar is heavier by far. Flexibility is an issue with the shoulders as well.

Not only must hands stay on the bar, you cannot rest at the bottom position. It must be touch and go! You can rest in the rack, and by securing the bar in the crease of your hips while you bend over and regrip, but you cannot rest at the bottom at all! That's the killer!

Jamie, my low bar is heavier. I feel that my lower half can go back and down ( like a low bar) and my torso can stay tall ( like a high bar) therefore, I truely fail at traditional high bar squats.
