    Jessi and I now only do our Bear Complexes in synchronization.

    Blech, this was a rough one. I modified to 3 hang cleans and 2 S2OH. Attempted 63# but I was feeling tired, my cleans were getting pretty bad so I did some rounds at 45#….thank you, Coach Steph, for telling me to do that so I didn’t risk injuring myself with crappy form. Complexes are always tough because they get my heart rate up but still require strength….such a challenge!
