Tuesday Night Crossfit - power bar work and tabata

Tuesday night crossfit class:
Heavy barbell work is an essential aspect of CrossFit, and we will be doing a lot more in the future. Getting that started was the "BEAR" complex. We did seven reps without putting down the bar, and tried to increase weight each of 4 sets.
One rep consisted of:
1 hang clean
1 front squat
1 press
1 behind the neck squat
1 behind the neck press

I started with a 75 pound BB for the first set and progressed to a 95 pound barbell for the next 3 sets.

This was good as I need to work on my explosive movements.

After that, we did a Tabata session. 8 rounds of 4 exercises, one minute rest between them. pushups, squats situps, burpees. We were scored by the lowest amount we completed any round of each exercise.
My low scores were:
push up: 7
squat: 14
situps: 7
burpees: 4
