Babaloo!

"Barbara"

Five rounds, each for time of:

20 Pull-ups

30 Push-ups

40 Sit-ups

50 Squats

Scaling Option B:

"Barbie"

5 Rounds, each for time of:

5 Pull ups

10 Push ups

20 Sit ups

30 Squats

Rest 3 Minutes

I opted for scale B because I really wanted to keep the intensity up and make sure I kept proper form all 5 rounds. That means chin above bar on every pull up, chest to the ground and arms locked out at the top for every push up, sitting all the way up so chest touches thighs for every sit up, and getting below parallel and standing fully erect for every squat. 

I did a scaled version of Barbara in May. I remember it really kicking my ass. This time around I felt really good and strong. My kipping pull ups were perfect. My push ups were "model" push ups. My sit ups were not lazy. And my squats were in good form. 

Doing the math for each round...

R1-2:11

R2-2:34

R3- 2:33

R4-2:35

R5-2:50

I kept each round under 3 minutes, which isn't too shabby for me. Kenny Kane had very similar times as me but he was doing Barbara as RX'd. What a crazy monster!!! 

I feel good. My abs still have residual soreness from The GHD workout from FRiday. 

Tomorrow is a total beach day. Can't wait!
