Endurance | 8/10 | A long 40-minute AMRAP combining 50-meter Bear Crawls with 7 Bear Complexes (95/65 lb). The continuous nature of the Bear Crawl and the demanding barbell complex will test cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance significantly over the extended time domain. |
Stamina | 9/10 | Performing Bear Crawls (full body, core, shoulder stamina) and 7 Bear Complexes (Power Clean + FS + PP + BS + PP = 35 major barbell movements per round) repeatedly for 40 minutes will severely tax full-body strength-stamina, particularly grip, legs, shoulders, and core stability. |
Strength | 7/10 | The Bear Complex at 95/65 lbs is moderately heavy, and performing 7 full complexes per round for 40 minutes makes this a very significant test of strength endurance. Bear crawls also require good functional strength. |
Flexibility | 4/10 | Requires good mobility for all components of the Bear Complex (cleans, front squats, overhead presses, back squats) and for efficient bear crawls (hip/shoulder). |
Power | 6/10 | The Bear Complex involves multiple explosive movements (clean, push press). Maintaining power through each complex and for many rounds over 40 minutes is a major challenge. |
Speed | 4/10 | Maintaining a consistent, sustainable pace for both the Bear Crawl and the Bear Complexes for 40 minutes is the primary challenge. Minimizing rest between reps and movements within the complex is key for maximizing rounds. |
