WOD's for Thursday and Saturday

On Thursday night I did "The Bear"
It requires a long description so here it goes:

The Bear:

7 sets of the sequence:

Power clean

Front squat

Pushpress

Back squat

Pushpress

5 rounds

Rest between rounds as needed

Post loads

RULES: No resting on the ground (even to re-grip), break up or combine the movements in any way so long as the following are met:

The clean starts at the ground and finishes standing at full hip extension.

The squats have to go below parallel and the presses finish locked out overhead.

Jerking is acceptable, as are squat cleans and deadlifting then hang cleaning.

The squats and pushpresses can be distinct or combined into thrusters, but you can't receive the clean in a squat and go directly into a thruster; stand first.

Here's a Video of what this workout looks like.

I did:

65#

85#

95#

105#

I stopped there because it was getting late and I had to go home.

On Saturday I did "Barbara"

Five rounds, each for time of:
20 Pull-ups
30 Push-ups
40 Sit-ups
50 Squats

Rest precisely three minutes between each round
