The Bear Workout - Clean to Front Squat to Push Press to Back Squat to Push Press

[Jayskyglider23]

there are some flaws in your technique. You need to this as more of a fluid motion. you stop way to much in between some of the moves. The first motion is should start with the clean and end up in a squat. The second motion is the push of the bar above your head. Not squat then push. its all one motion. and when you get the bar above your head, you need to hold it there for a few seconds. next slowly lower the bar, then squat. and in one motion push squat and lift the bar over your head.

[Kastoob]

I like your gym.

[ahriman87]

bad choice of music

[Steffesa]

This isn't good. The clean is bad, you need to drive the hip forward more, and not pull with your arms so soon. Also, the front squat is bad, get your elbows high and up! if you had some real weight there it would kill your wrists and you would lose the weight. The only thing I thought was good here was the back squat, good form and nice depth. Yes I know I'm just a youtube commenter, but look through the litterature, and you'll see that these are good points :) Anyway sorry for not encouraging!

[MilesTheDrummer11]

I did 4 set of 5 reps with 95 pounds yesterday. Shit suckkkkkkkkss

[fatchickennugget222]

yo is that a hang clean in the start cause he just stood up from the deadlift then cleaned it

[Alpha7xxx]

I don't care how much you can press or squat - this music is fucking terrible. Christ. Horrible.

[Nightbird]

I bet alot of gay men who identify as Bears were disappointed coming here..lol.

[iIRiSIH]

Yeah, he's not lifting much but I don't think I've done anything harder than the bear. We do a lot of squats (I'm a rower) and I could barely move the next day after 4 circuits including 20 bear reps in each.

[locolopelocolope]

I tried it yesterday ... it´s a KILLER EXCERCISE !!!!!!!

Really hard; I´d advice anyone to start with a low weight (seriously).

[jeepinjeepin]

@YaCard. That's still good weight. I was doing a variation of this exercise this morning(with less than 85). People don't realize how taxing it is until they try it.

[jeepinjeepin]

@theShankman. Looks like 135lbs. Standard bar is 45lbs. Those plates look like 45lbs plates. Then again they could be plastic and it's more like 55lbs total. Only the guy lifting can tell for sure.

[YoCard]

@jeepinjeepin 45 pound bar with 2x 10 pound plates on each side (bumper plates) for a total of 85 pounds.

[Garthug]

@YoCard This workout looks freakin awesome! I might try this tomorrow! Love the compound movements and hitting multiple areas. Try lifting without the bumpers so you don't create muscle imbalances tho. Keep up the good work man

[WeskerUmbrella4]

techno music with workout is so awesome.music alone got me into shape. :D

well done man,you made my day with this song !!!

[WayOfTheBastard]

Looks like an a cool lift, but isn't behind the neck pressing supposed to be kind of bad for your shoulders?

[fergie232]

that's not a push press, thats an OHP

[jasonjinx]

Nice lift. Just tried a variationof this lift.

[TheShankman]

how much weight you using brah?

[Agoostaholic]

@TheShankman looks like 85

[Leny1777]

gatta love the asian techno.

[HuGiv5]

Damn music making me crazyyyy

[SirVantesAFC2PUA]

btw, nice clean technique! I can;'t beeleive you didn't get your earphone cord snagged by the barbell and pulled out. It happens to me all the time.

[SirVantesAFC2PUA]

I have a problem with this.

IMO legs are significantly stronger than arms.. obviously... in fact normally four times stronger than arms. So when you use this excercise that uses the same weight to target legs shoulders and arms. You're only going to use the weight that your weakest link can lift (arms). So you either end up overtraining your arms with a heavy weight, or undertraining your legs with these aerobic loads

[mikerich928]

@SirVantesAFC2PUA Crossfit routines like this are designed to make you a better athlete, not to work "legs" or "arms" the asian kid isnt using enough explosion or power to move the weight, should be exploding up not just shoulder pressing the weight. leg power can be developed in other workouts, involving heavy squats and deadlifts, compound movements like this routine make you a better athlete, highter anaerobic capacity and using your whole body together. try it with more weight and see

[SirVantesAFC2PUA]

@mikerich928 "better athelete" sounds like an aimless athelte, both "better" and "athlete" aren't objective words.. this workout is silly,

[slightseconds]

once you have picked up the bar dont put it down

[dxcell1]

music sux

[awalkerog]

Good job but the reset time between reps was a little too long. Has to be bang bang. Back up.

[kashmier1184]

arnt you supposed to use some of the momentem of the squat to help you lift it on the shoulder press?  at least thats what I have always heard

[Cornampoo]

ATG +1

[gaber323]

Explode and go harder!

Go hard or go home son!

[edgey1333]

beastly

[Matakaoa]

Good Effort

[adoboandryce]

strong effort man. like you said, keep those elbows up :)

[JammyBrown]

Yo, fuck everyone hating on the song, concentrate on the exercise! This dude means business. A friend of mine found this vid, and I had to check it out. :)

[pieman12345678900]

Do you clean that slow or are you just lifting up slowly?

[4806577005]

dats not a push press. more like shoulder press. i tot push press requires for the person to explode using der feet.

[raymondtyn]

omg the music is driving me nuts holy shit turn that shit off 

[YoCard]

@raymondtyn Haha I really like this song.

Always turn off volume :P

I guess no one likes techno like me haha.

[MrBearsta]

strongest asian ive ever seen

[lwst82]

@MrBearsta is that sarcasm? The weight is pretty low.

[ak50006]

how long did it take for you to be able to do this?

[mikeLeC123]

okay form but should be a power*clean not a full clean for the bear complex.. great vid keep it up

[GuruMarv]

was your glute injury because you got fucked in the ass too hard by your boyfriend?

[pktheworld]

more fluidity is needed

[DjPyro2010]

he doesn't start actually lifting anything until about 00:33

[bassat786]

song name?

[MerkabaStar]

Great way to increase the risk of injury. So much wrong with this shit I'm not going to even start. But hey, it depends on your goals.

[13Azzinoth37]

gotta love barbell complexes.

[toxinadam]

whats the name of the song... ITS DAMN BURNING TECHNO..!!!!!! WHATS THE SONG NAME..!!!!

[MrBigwhite69]

my football coach made us do these with 225 for 5 sets of 5, one of the hardest things on earth when you go heavy.

[sergio311]

how much weight is that ? can't be 180 ?

[thebigabsay123]

his cleans are wacks

i do cleans and that dude is doing it totally wrong

[H4RdWork]

nice work.. good routine

[thoomoo]

Total body workout

[davidthe1]

good job bro!

[SkeeterAsada]

what a beast

[prairiethrower]

seems like a good exercise complex. one thing though a push press needs leg drive you are just strict pressing. other then that pretty good and keep it up man.

[416HotSauce]

wow man nice song, whats the name ?

[YoCard]

Welcome to the Club by Manian :)

[WineKoneFan]

Manian - Welcome to the Club

[barclay135]

wouldnt it fuck up your knees if you went lower that your knees?

[duba3988]

huh?a comfortable full range of motion is always a good thing.

[Wakakashi25]

Well, with light wieghts its just fine to go below 90 degrees. But with heavy weights, yeah, it can fuck up your knees.

[oxtruongxo]

going below the knees takes the weight OFF of your knees.. how does that mess up your knees? that is.. if you do it correctly

[YoCard]

Ripptoe disagrees. Check out some of his stuff.

[lechoso72]

@YoCard true. we have that range of motion on our knees for a reason. I have been deep squatting for more than 10 years and it has been the best thing I could've done for my knees. I love to hate that exercise and only do it when I am short on time

[UBSWRecords]

@barclay135 The knee joint is strongest when its fully flexed
