The Bear.....again

Did the another version of the Bear workoutu again yesterday. This is the hardest crossfit workouts in my opinion. The workout was 7 reps on the minute for 20min (20 rounds) of squat clean thrusters with Dumbellss. They must hit the ground and then come to full lockout extension at the top. You pick your weight. I have not made it through a Bear workout yet so that was my goal yesterday. Problem was the gym was so packed that all the 25# db were taken. I tried a couple reps at 30# and thought that would be a real problem. I decieded to try 36# Kettlebells instead. I made it to the 3 rd round doing 7 reps and by that point I only had 20 seconds rest before the next minute started. For those of you that don't know if you are down to that little rest before round 15 of the bear you are finished. So I decieded to switch to 5 reps of the kettlebell squat clean and thruster. I finished all 20 rounds and it was brutal. Even only doing 5 reps I was finishing after the people using dumbells. The manipulate the Kettle just takes a little longer. However I was extremely pumped that I worked through it and got it done.
