Ronnieboy loves Barbara! She is such a heart breaker!

love that wod. too bad my rest day.

so we meet again. gt your measure this time

Might have to throw that one in the mix next week.
thanks HQ.

should be a fun first date with her

Looks like a churro hanging from a stick! Bahaha HGS DGF

Dam this was my most hated and worst workout of 2008, I nearly died, well not really but I was so crushed by Barbie. this one humbles you real quick...oh well here we go again...

cool,lookin to keep all 5 rounds under 2.30,
this time,hope i've no spoke too soon,usually crash and burn,so gonnae try and pace it this time,sod it i'll just go all out as per !

Barbara!! Great now i'll hit it as rx because i never rest between rounds before...love you guys...Eric Gohl, Erin, Herm, in8girl, strong lil pony, AllisonNYC, Rookie, Cos, Pedro Barrera, Gina every one who post best wishes and bad english for all haha!! =)

Thanks for the early post. 3-2-1 Go. Get some MJ.

Sherwood loves overhead

Hah, and I did Cindy today...fun.

Yeah lets do it!

or not... pizza n beer here i come!

1st round - 2:58
2nd round - 3:47
3rd round - 3:58
4th round - 3:57
5th round - 4:17

2 minutes of rest in between each round.

I did this today at the gym, as it's one of my favorite workouts. I just got over a stomach virus so I didn't have the strength to a CFT so I figured I'd knock this out. Ironic that it gets posted when I walk in the door from the gym. I'll do it again tommorow, just because it works so well!

They chose literally the WORST song off weezer's latest album for that video.

Nice Lever and Nice beach!

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

#14 Me too, I just walked in from doing cindy, this should be great fun. Atleast I am warmed up.

what are good times per round? nice pic

This is the only workout that has ever made me quit, time to finally put this girl to rest. Thanks Coach.

I got crushed by Chuck and Sherwood. Those guys are beasts...and no longer friends of mine!

Great wod,

Barbara is a nasty, filty, dirty girl who plays with you and in the midle of the workout you hate her at the end you really hate her but in a minute you miss her really bad.

Love and hate relationship with the girls is the yin yan of Crossfit WE ARE ADICTS!!!!

Sorry about my english AGAIN!!!!

COMING VERY SOON CROSSFIT ECUADOR.
We hope the hq accept our affiliation next week.
Peace Crossfiters!!!!!!

Great!

Aloha,

Jordan

Snatch it, Jerk it, flip it around and reverse it :D

Awesome video! Great to see my friends working so hard.

barbra rocks!!

Cranked from my 35kg/77lb CFT PB this morning ... looking fwd to meeting Barbara for the first time tomorrow morning. Missed her last time round due to illness.

havd a great wod tonythechiro big hugs bro!!!

#11 s'more

hahaha "bad english for all". Dude i love that. You're great!

Looks like this is another WOD i'll be able to do!! Gonna hit up that oh lunge/burpee wod very soon (late night start). Then I'll make up the l-sit pull up/handstand tomorrow afternoon....and take this one out in the morning :) All i'll have to make up then is CFT! Woo hooo!!

Hey...the good news is we got a benchmark "girl" WOD! The bad news is that it's "Barbara".

Here's a classic Crossfit workout. No weights. Just you and gravity. And a stopwatch. Ooooohhhhh yes, and a stopwatch.

20 PU. We've talked plenty about PU this month. The default PU for CF is the kipping PU. Gymnastics kip or butterfly kip for this one. Can't kip? Bummer. Trade in your stopwatch for a sundial. Palms away, palms facing, or palms toward, it STILL doesn't matter. Scale by using assistance for this one: bands, gravitron, or jumping (NO NEGATIVES--for the love of G_D, stop it).

30 push-ups. Chest to deck. Break up this and any sets as much as you need, but do 30 before you go on to the next exercise. Need to scale? Do them from your knees, but don't call them "girl" push-ups until you can beat Nicole at overhead squats, and she's undefeated. Push against a Smith bar, a wall, etc. if necessary.

40 Sit-ups. Anchored, unanchored, abmat, whatever. GHD? What, are you nuts? 200 GHD sit-ups? You're a Newbie, don't be silly.

50 squats. No added weight, just your a$$ and everything attached to it. Crease of your hips below your knees. Med ball target only if you can't figure out where your a$$ is in space. Full extension at the top.

Do these four exercises, completing each one before starting the next, and then rest "precisely" 3 minutes. You simply can't imagine how fast 3 minutes can go until you experience the 3 minutes between rounds 4 and 5 of "Barbara"! Record your time for each of the five rounds, ie. you post 5 times as your result.

FWIW, I always fight "Pukie the Clown" more in this WOD than any other one I've encountered in 3+ years of crossfitting. If you read the "compare to" comments that's a pretty common observation. Don't underestimate "Barbara". Come to think of it, if you are truly new think seriously about only three rounds. Really. You're starting to grow on us; we're becoming fond of you and would miss you if you put yourself in the hospital with Rhabdo.

I don't have the same love/hate relationship with "Barbara" that I have with "Fran". I just hate "Barbara".

Ah well...3-2-1...Go!

Eric Gohl - always look 4ward to ur posts- ur enthusiasm is only rivaled by s'more

Doing CFT tomorrow so I'll put Barbara on the shelf and do her later in the week. Last time I did this I was only crossfitting 2 weeks. I was working late at the hospital and snuck into the rehab center and did a ridiculously scaled version. I managed 3 rounds before nauseau overwhelmed me LOL It will take a while but I think I can do this as prescribed :)

s'more, carlox- I *am* going to Ecuador! Will let you know when and I will hit Crossfit Ecuador. Also planning on going to the Games in July. Just got vacation time clearance. Yay..

Video: Squat snatch Isabel

...ouch! Usually it's done via Power Snatch. Pat, Mike, Chuck, you guys are freaks. I'll have to try it next time Isabel comes up. Thanks for the idea :)

if you come to Ecuador please Carlox and i loved to meet you of course we have to train together we are a nice group...let us know ok?

Big hugs girl

One of only two workouts that I've ever had to quit- Pukie was getting too close...

Last time only three rounds- hoping for better tomorrow.

I've gained 30 lbs with SS + GOMAD. (Uhh... yeah, I know I was pretty darn skinny.) I want to gain another 30-40 lbs this year, but I'm a little concerned about this ever expanding belly. I've gone up to 15% bodyfat. Is that too much? I could probably push it up a little further, but how do I know when its too much? 18%? 20%?

Also, when I stop drinking the milk I'm gonna do Crossfit + Zone diet. I am VERY afraid I might lose some LBM with a sudden drop of calories. How should I phase the gallon out? Over the course of a month? Couple of weeks?

I fought real hard for the gains I've made, and I don't want to step backwards. But I can't go on forever with this belly balooning up. Plus, my whole reason in the first place for doing SS was to be better at Crossfit. Your advice is appreciated...

#31 Strong Lil Pony

Thank you so much! I don't think anyone on the planet could rival s'mores attitude haha, so to even be compared to him along with any of the other helpful posters on here is a true compliment. I LOVE Crossfit and if I can inspire even one other person to share that enthusiasm I am and will be overjoyed. Can't believe you're going to Ecuador AND the Games. I'm so jealous!! I need to find a way to save up some moolah so i can at least go to the Games. Guess we'll see!

I just got done with the oh lunges/burpees WOD...and i just dripped sweat on my computer. Oops! 11:09 and no back pains baby :D

I'm baaaaack! (pun intended!)

great song selection for the vid. I've always wanted to use that song for a vid.

For those wondering. It is off of Weezer's Red Album.

hm... looks like I'll have to borrow a power drill tomorrow and rig up this completely illegal pullup bar into my apartment doorway. Shhh... they'll never know.
I don't think anyone could put it any better than Carlox... so I won't try. Beautifully put, man, she is dirty and filthy, but I miss her when she's gone.
And as always I have pleanty of big hugs for you s'more. It's almost getting to the point where you can't say that you have bad english anymore.
Well, off I go to bed, with visions of sugar plum fairies named Barbara dancing in my head.

#27 TonytheChiro

Almost forgot! I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to give me the help, info, and advice that you did with my lower back problem. I'm not 100% just yet, but I can hit the WODs again and i feel i owe a good part of that performance to you! Thanks a ton!

Question....

Is "Barbara" usually rx'd with a 3 min rest???

What I love about CrossFit: Today I had a disappointing CFT, and this comes up for tomorrow. I am going to try and hit this so hard that I puke tomorrow. This one is a total gut check, mental toughness building, WOD. I love it.

I don't think I am going to be able to sleep!!!!

#34 Snori - One of the things Robb Wolf talks about at the nutrition cert is quality vs. quantity. Work on eating better foods. Just follow the prescription from CF's fitness in 100 words "...meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar..."

I fount easier to get into Zone portions AFTER cleaning all the crap out. Start with "no sugar" and work backwards a week at a time if you need to. Cut all bread, white potatoes, rice, and processed foods out of your diet. Shop around the outside of the super market, that is where all the refrigeration and freezer units are.

There is a book out there called "Paleo Diet for Athletes" that is pretty good that explains the science behind eatting a paleoithic diet. For me, it has been WAY easier to eat right after reading Sears' "Into the Zone," attending the nutrition cert, and reading "Paleo Diet for Athletes" since I understand better the Omega-3/Omega-6 ratios, etc.

I'm at 16 2X fat

I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch nearly every single day:

Breakfast is 3 eggs, scrambled with 3 slices of turkey bacon in olive oil (4 x PRO, 2 X F), 1 1/3C. of grapefruit juice (2 x CHO) and an apple (2 x CHO) and 18 cashews (6 x Fat). I usually eat the apple RIGHT after I workout in the morning before I shower and usually eat the cashews while my eggs are cooking or on my way out the door to work.

Lunch is easy. 4 oz of lunchmeat (4 x PRO)(turkey or roast beef, the grocery store here carries gluten-free meat), two apples (4 x CHO), and more cashews or walnuts (8 x FAT).

Snack at 1400, usually a cottage cheese cup and a yogurt cup (1P and 1C) and some more nuts.

Dinner is usally whatever the wife makes - and eat it in Zone proportions. She just had a baby, did CF in the past and is about to start up, so she is a Kool-Aid drinker too. Plus she is the one with the Kineseology degree and she has read all the books too.....

Then I have a snack before bed, usually some cheese and some fruit and some more nuts.

There are a ton of articles in the CF Journal, if you haven't subscribed yet, its the best $25 you'll spend!

3,2,1....

Who is this Barbara? I don't know if I would like her.

you'll absolute love Barbara Matthew...give your best bro train hard

I have to find the way to create a paleo s'more i could kill for a s'more just kidding...love them

Should we be wrapping our knees for heavy squatting???

So i read on Bingo's post that this workout is no kipping on the pullups? Is that right?... Just for more verification?...

#46 s'more

hahaha, i don't know why but that made me laugh pretty hard. If you figure out a way to make a paleo/zone s'more you better let me know!!! I love them! Reminds me of summer time at the lake...*sigh*

#48

I believe bingo was just making a comment that if you don't know how to kip, sucks for you

#48 D'wall

Nooooo!!! By all means kip! Bingo said, "kipping is DEFAULT". As in the standard. You can use the classic gymnastic style or the butterfly version. But good lord, kip your heart out if you can otherwise it'll take you forever! Then again, if you want to go deadhang no one is stopping you either. Your workout, your preference :)

mmmm...no the pull-ups are with kipping gymnastic or butterfly D'wall reemember this is a metcon you have to go fast as hell...in crossfit we use kipping pull-ups maeby 90% of the time...big hugs bro

bingo

yeah one way or another i'll be back at the games even if i have to be a volunteer. we'll be able to put the gereatric trio back together. looking forward to it.

okay thank you Jesus.... for rea... i was like no freaking way... haha ya i've been working on butterfly don't have it yet.. but got reg kip.... okay guys preciate it

What a great description of Barbara! You are the best. However, I agree with Mike (#64). When I first started CrossFit in May, I had to resort to jumping pullups and I focused on the negative to help build my strength. I seem to recall reading it somewhere in the literature. (At any rate, if you can't do pull ups, the jumping version will get you there quickly...)

I heard Coach say one time it's OK to be a pu$$Y. Meow!

Good Morning,

I was irresponsible and did not get up when the alarm went off....that has been a challenge lately. Anyways, I thought I might squeeze this in before my appointment. I did 3 rounds and will go to the gym post-appointment to re-try.

So now, it will 8 rounds! Oh well....from this I learn that I am getting up with the alarm.

Since I'm on the East Coast I always stay one day behind on purpose. The advantage is I get to mentally prepare for the workout and plan what equipment I'll need when I get to the gym. The disadvantage is the psychological havoc it plays on my mind. As soon as I view the WOD I get nervous, HA HA. See you at 0430 Barbie. ROCK AND ROLL!!!

if you double your age & times you would just about have my time..I ranged from 4:36 to 3:44 My last 2 sets were the fastest due to changing to kipping pullups & doing the rest of the WOD directly under the bar..therefore saving a little "transition " time Congrats on a great time Mike & all the other "SPEED MERCHANTS" out there.nice job.

Mike #64, Ronnieboy #75, and any others wondering:

By way of review, in the month of January as a birthday gift to myself and to other long-time posters I am "pre-answering" typical questions that come up again and again (and again), over and over throughout the Comments thread. These questions are typically asked by either the lazy (of course that wouldn't be ANYONE here, eh?) of the very enthusiastic newcomers. In general I am speaking to the Newbies.

Negative PU are a classic eccentric movement. While it is true that doing negative Jumping PU is an excellent way to train to increase you PU ability, doing large numbers of Jumping PU with negatives is a classic way to induce either Rhabdomyolysis or severe localized muscle trauma. Jumping PU WITH NEGATIVES should NOT be done by Newbies as part of a WOD where one is pushing for time, gunning the intensity pedal. That's how people get hurt.

Along the same line, high volume fast work of large muscle groups (like the squats today) are also a potential problem with athletes who are new to high intensity work. This is why I also suggested that Newbies scale this bodyweight WOD.

So, Mike, who should you trust, FAQ or bingo? Well, both of us. I'm talking about Jumping PU with negatives in a WOD used by Newbies without sufficient CF seasoning; the FAQ is talking about training to increase your PU ability. Subtle but important difference.

DO NOT DO JUMPING PU WITH NEGATIVES 100 TIMES IN BARBARA!

We now return you to our regularly scheduled pain...

Sunday musings...

1) Loving pets. "Nuff said.

2) Emoticons. As we move more and more of our communication to electronic routes I find it more and more common that I misunderstand someone or they misunderstand me. I suppose this is partly due to the shorthands that we have all fallen for. These written shortcuts are sometimes as difficult to parse as a doctor's handwriting, both of which are lacking because the author is trying very hard to save time (trust me on the doctor thing; that's all it is).

And so we have the emoticon, the little figures that have been spawned by the ubiquitous smiley face, to help us express the emotional intent of the author. These, too, are lacking for they cannot truly convey the same subtlety as an upturned corner of the mouth, a flaring nostril, or the slight tremor in an angry voice. It's important to keep this in mind each time we communicate in this manner, here and elsewhere.

There is, for example, no emoticon for a wry chuckle.

3) Prayer. I'm not a big prayer. I've really avoided praying for myself over the course of my lifetime--always seemed presumptuous. While I have fallen away from the Religion of my youth I have maintained my faith, and so I DO pray occasionally.

What is interesting, and why I mention prayer here, is that I find myself praying for people I really barely know, men and women in our Armed Forces who are in harm's way on our behalf. I recently discovered that a Crossfit SF friend of mine will ship out this summer, off to some area in the teeth of a conflict because that's what he does. I had hoped to see him in July. His surname suggests that he and I share(d) that same Religion of youth; I have no idea whether or not that is true, as I have no idea whether or not he prays.

But I find him, and others like him, in my prayers of late. Unplanned; it just happened. So if you pray at all, and I know that many among you do, won't you think of my friend and others like him on occasion?

In my little prayer I'm simply asking to shake his hand again after he comes home.

I'll see you next week...

HOOAH!

Total work time 14:27/14:58 New PR legs felt strong today.

Everything unbroken pullups kipped, chest to ground pu's, abmat anchored situps, squats to dynamax ball

4th rounds still the killer, felt like pukie coming to visit on 4th round situps.

Still hoping to sync back up with the main-site WOD - did Cindy yesterday - today is a 10k time trial. Monday I'm thinking I can do the CFT - I'll have access to eqpmnt.

Bingo is definitely right about the negative PU - I just wish I had read that the first time I did Cindy - I could barely do 8 PU's in a row - and near the end of that first Cindy, I was doing ALL negative jumping PU's. I was so sore I basically lost arm functionality for 4 days! Sleep was brutal! Listen to bingo!

Cheers all,

Is it better to do jumping PUs or band assisted?

I did 45# OH lunges and burpees yesterday and lats are killing be and my ass so barbara is going to hurt today - love it!!

If you are 15% bf at 160lbs, that means your Lean Mass = 136lbs. That ain't alot for somebody that is 5'11". There's alot of skinny dudes on here that crank out pull-ups, but then they put up CFT numbers in the 700lb range. Very few that have that small amount of lean mass and have big numbers across the board.

This is just me talking, but I wouldn't even think about dieting down until I was at least 200lbs. Forget your abs and rounds of Cindy for a minute and just get strong. Jason Khalipa, Josh Everett, etc, etc...those guys were all strong when they started this, and not 136lbs LBM. I have fairly good idea of Rip would tell ya.

i couldn't get to a pullup bar today, so i modified.

Alright, milk and big macs it is! I don't know what got into me last night. I got a pretty good idea what Rip would tell me also. Thats why I didn't post these concerns on his forum. Coach advised me in the past, at my height, to get up to at least 185 lbs, or preferably as much as 200 lbs. And when I asked him about bodyfat he just stared at me. Hehe, I should've known better.

So, I'm gonna shoot for about 195 lbs, and a 1000+ Crossfit Total before I go back to Zone + Crossfit.

#44

Thanks for the information. Thats very helpful. Thats probably about exactly the diet I'd like to follow when I go back into Crossfit. Looking forward to it too. It won't be as expensive or disgusting as this 5,000 calories a day plan!

P.S. I gained a pound last night!

Just a small suggestion...when you post your results, can you also indicate your sex,weight and height, and age? For me, it's the only way I can compare how I am doing with another person of similar characteristics. Is everybody in agreement? I hope so...

So I'm noticing a whole lot of ladies posting these days. WOO HOO! I'm so pumped to see you girls are out there. I've been reading you regular ladies everyday but am too shy to post after your super numbers. You do inspire the heck out of me though. Thanks for everything!!!!

comment #149 -Lisa

When I was learning to do pull ups, I found the bands more useful, especially to learn the kipping motion. When I did jumping pull ups, I was mainly using my legs and not gaining as much strength in my arms, shoulders, and lats. Doing negatives also helped with the strength part. Hope this helps.

Thanks Ava - i kind of feel like i am better doing the band because i can kind of get the feel of what kipping should feel like. The extra 15#s i am carrying doesn't help its like doing weighted PUs i guess - ha ha. however i am down 35# from where i started so I am getting there. Entered the zone after christmas and dropped 11#s this month so far - woo hoo!!

45 seconds better than my PR of 31:54. I gamed the rounds similar to a tabata where I did the first 4 rounds in 3:54. That was the same as my second best round from my PR. I wanted to keep as much in the tank as I could for the last round and to keep each round under 4:00. Part of the improvement is due to overall fitness improvement but part of it is due to strategy.

Shoulder feeling better, but I'm not going to chance 150 pushups.

"Modified Barbara"

10 HSPUs (hands on floor, head to floor depth)
15 door pullups
20 hollow rocks
25 pistols (13 total right leg, 12 total left leg)

2:41
2:52
2:55
2:46

No breaks on the headstand pushups.

Breaks on door pullups starting round two at 13/2. Breaks on remaining pullup rounds at 11/4. Much harder then kipping pullups as they are strict pullups with thighs dragging up and down the door.

No breaks on hollow rocks. Pelvis had to come off the floor and lower back off the floor each rep to count.

Pistols done 8R, 7L, 5R, 5L. All reps below parallel and I didn't even fall over once with the left leg. I think the yoga and rolfing work done on my collapsed left ankle is helping; my left leg pistols were probably the best they have ever been.

Finished with light stretching and door slides.

Ashley and Lisa,
Yea, go wih the band. You can learn to kipp at the same time. I've got it down pretty good but I can't imagine ever doing the big numbers totally unassisted at my age. I've only been a crossfitter for four months and have made great progress but I'm wondering how many other 50 year old women are out there doing over 100 pull ups? I'm darned proud and you should be too!
And Lisa, Wow on the weight! Keep zoning. I now get visits from Mr. Pukey after a piece of bread! My kids want pasta tonight-yuck.
Nice to meet you ladies.

Well...
First time going around the mulberry bush with Barbara, so I took bingo's sage advice (thank you bingo!) and scaled this one appropriately as follows:
3 rounds - to finish, not for time
* Pullups were jumping and broken (again, thanks to bingo for pointing out the inherent danger in negatives on this WOD)
* Pushups felt good - broken 30-20 almost uniformly
* Situp unanchored - broken 25-25
* Squats broken 35-15 almost every set except for the last one, which was hideous...

The one bright part of this workout was that the pullups felt better and I felt stronger doing them than other pull-up-centric WODs.

Going to watch Fedor and Arlevski beat on each other before going to bed to try and recover for tomorrow's workout (please be a long run, please...)

Brutal, pull ups are definately the slowest part, each set took several minutes, got through the other stuff pretty quick. I'm thinking on a metcon workout instead of waiting to recover and finish the pullups as rx'd I should kip as many as I can and then turn them into a jumping pull up to keep the workout moving. Thoughts?

off pace today, but to be fair to today's time I don't think my rom was up to par in my previous barbara's...on my squats I mean. below 90 and open hip at top today (missed last posted barb). It makes a difference.

I agree with the guy I heard on cf radio...barbara makes me queasy.

DNF, only did one round (5:36) very sore w/ everything baddly broken up except pullups. had a DNF the last time this came up, but i'll get her soon. i can count my DNF's on one hand and two are barbara.
starting a progression towards being able to do a squat isabel @ 135 since my snatch is lagging, 30 o-bar snatch in 2:35
also did a CFE wod= 1 min ladder @ 8mph on treadmill, 1 min, 50,40,30,20,10,20,30,40,50sec rest. and

I totally cheated towards the end. I could feel myself going down a little less each time on the pull-ups as the reps went on. I was also going down to about 90 degrees on my push-ups so that it probably why my times got progressively faster. On the last set I made sure to do legit sit-ups and my time showed it. Next time I do this workout I need to make sure that I do everything honestly so that my times are more actual.

As Rx'd, SUs were unanchored with ab mat - I wanted to compete against Freddy C. on this one, since he is, well, Freddy C. Thanks for the times Freddy (and the vacation!)

Let me tell you, that ab mat really added a whole new level of suck to it. Definately easier with anchored military sit-ups.

I started CrossFitting on 10/04/08 with "Barbara" and had to modify the WOD to 10 pull-ups per round b/c I couldn't imagine getting through all 100. Now I can kip (kinda) and did Barbara today as rx'd with Glute-Ham Sit-ups:

you are definately an ispiration since i am only 40 and still can't do more than 5 unassisted PU's but i will get there and hope to make the games by 2010 - maybe they should have a "seniors" categorie - hee hee.

That was pretty significant improvement from my 23:16 on 10/4. The workout on 10/4 was my first Barbara and one of my first CF workouts. The biggest difference was in kipping vs. strict pull ups. I wasn't all that comfortable kipping then so I just did strict. Sub-15:00 is my goal for next time. I may have gotten it this time were it not for someone "helping me out" and putting my mat away on set 4 despite my keys and ID sitting right next to it! Thanks bud....

I used to be good at math... and then I started CrossFit. All the sudden I needed a calculator for everything. The fourth event of the CrossFit Total for me is adding my numbers up. Makes my head hurt... at least it matches my hurtin' body. OW.

First 20 pull-ups unbroken. I was happy with that and almost kept going to see how many I could do.. But I knew push-ups were waiting for me so I moved on.. It was all downhill from there. The only part I didn't mind were the sit-ups. The squats weren't so bad during but I can't walk now.

3:38; 12:19; 21:29, 32:18, 41:25 - cumulative time including rests. I did the work but you couldn't pay me to do the math.

That makes my total workout time 23:43, I think. How do you people crank this out in total work times of sub-15 mins ...?

One redeeming factor - in the interests of doing things I dislike, sit-ups were unanchored.

I know, it doesn't make that much difference, but it helps me feel better about myself!?!

Couldn't finish this one. Not enough carbs in my system. Still a good workout. Just had to cut each round short after the first one.

I wish I had read that explanation last May before I did 100 jumping pullups with negatives.

I went to a concert that night and could not straighten out my arms (well, ok, for a week after I couldn't straighten them out!)

But, I didn't have any problems holding my beer at the concert. I was set up to "two-fist" all night long!

that was a great Wod Ronnieboy...a concert wod haha!! =) BIG HUGS BRO

1st WOD on my own:

I've been going to a box gym a couple of months for 2x a week, and am starting to add a workout or two extra on my own. Saw today's WOD and thought it would be good to give a shot

And - whew - what a shot!

All as Rx'd except the pull ups which were band assisted:

1) 7:22
2) 6:48
3) 7:45
4) 8:05
5) 8:24

I would have quit on the situps on round 5 due to a developing side ache, but just when I was thinking about ditching, the station I was listening too plays "Blitzkrieg Bop" - and hearing that chorus "Hey! Ho! Lets GO!" - I just had to finish!

So my first real WOD on my own - and it gives me the same post workout feel I get from the box gym.

Thanks Coach!

Total: 30:21 Just not feeling it today... about 8 minutes off my PR... didn't even get close to an upset stomach today and I always get that with Barbara, my intensity was just not there...

Pull Ups: done on a bar that is mounted very close to a wall so a full kip was not possible. I was able to get full extension and my head through at the bottom but I had to keep my legs in a frog type position as I pulled from the bottom. I broke the sets into 10,10 for the first two and 7,7,7 for the rest.

Push Ups: Chest to deck arms close to my torso, head up. Broke these into 15,10,5 on all sets.

Sit Ups: Un-anchored hands in front of me knees bent. All sets unbroken

Squats: Really working on jumping up at the top for a complete quick hip opening, I left the ground on every rep. Below 90 at the bottom. Broke all sets into 25,15,10

Well, that's all I have to say about that...

Strong work Fit Mom in CT!!!! Wow

i loved this work out after so much olympic lifting. fun to do something different.

i try to not rely on the mirror to measure my progress with CF and the ZONE, but the Body Fat scale at my gym has been broken for a while. i can honestly say im seeing a vast improvement, and considering your own eyes are the worst judges i would say its probably better than i realize. I have lost a significant amount of fat which is great, but what im happiest about is my muscle definition.
ever sense my days as a pro skier iv always had big muscles, but they were more beefy then defined i could never figure out how to change that no matter how much i changed up my work out. but now its all coming together.
so once again Thank you CF, thank you ZONE, and thank you coach!!!

Cool-down: 15 min. fighting-off Mr. Pukie and winning! Take that Barbara. Then a little hamstrings stretching.

PR on R1 only. Strict pull-ups; chest & thighs to floor push-ups; AbMat sit-ups; 11-inch box squats.

Lats were a little tight w/pull-ups; probably from yesterday's DL. First time using AbMat in a WOD. I think it slowed me down, but gave my abs a much better burn. Worth it.

Did this WOD as late in the day as posb.; regulated my breathing; sipped green tea between rnds; and pressed every anti-nausea pressure point I could reach. Still, it was a tough post-WOD battle.

Yeah I died on that last one. Spent the next five minutes hovered over my globogym's lawlessly polished stainless steel trashcan while the guys on the ab machine stared at me in horror.

I do have to say, I was definitely drawing from the epic power of the message board today. After a Mos Def concert last night (where I mos def consumed too many Hefeweizens) I spent most of my Sunday crushing pasta and two naps. However, I got the guilties when I saw the posted pain on the board and dragged my butt 3 blocks and 4 avenues through the Manhatttan cold and got it done. Hoo rah. Way to be everybody.

Finally back home to post this thing! So it's a funny thing how 4 days off can impact your body. I can feel the onset of soreness coming already along with what i already have from the make up of oh lunges/burpees! Nothing like a welcome back soreness though :)

Amazing and that doesn't take into account transitioning between events which I would assume all events are done directly beneath the pull up bar.

That is a nine minute I would watch, please post.

It's workouts like Barbara that remind of:
-The necessity of the kip, which I cannot do.
-How awesome it is to destroy every muscle group (mind included) in your body, from top to bottom, five times over in one workout.
-How I must not warm up enough, because my first and second rounds are ALWAYS worse than my latter rounds.

Went to Hot Yoga to align myself this morning after I had a squat gone bad yesterday, and just threw my body off. Blew up in round 3 on the push-ups. Shoulder is irritated - glad to see I don't need it for tomorrow's WOD.

A HUGE Thank You to whoever is posting the scaled workouts! Using these the past 2 weeks I finally am building the confidence to tackle Crossfit at my local (not-Crossfit-friendly) gym, and more importantly, getting trough a workout uninjured and still performing my rather physical job.
Barbara Lite: 10 pull-up (negative pull-ups with a 3 count drop), 15 push-ups (on knees), 20 situps, 25 squats:
2:24, 2:17, 2:20, 2:12, 2:14 (ok, so on this last round, the negative pull-ups were more of a 2 or 2.5 second count. just couldn't hold them that long).
Becca

3:49 4:37 4:38 4:53 4:55 22:52 total. First time keeping all rounds under 5, although my first round was a lot slower than my best, which is 3:12. round 1 unbroken, all rounds of pullups unbroken.

S'more you were right I absolutely loved Barbara. It reminded me of my college football workouts. I got finished with the fourth round, which felt like my fastest round and I started to dry heave. But when it was all done it ended on good terms.

My stop watch died sometime during my first round but my best guess is that I averaged around 5.5- 6 minutes.

I started posting in these starting with the last CFT but I am so out of shape, just doing 2 sets substituting pullups with jumping pullups and pushups with knee pushups made me puke up my fish and left me so weak I could hardly stand up after going in the shower. Damn Barbara you are one sassy lady!

Round1: 3:32
Round2: 8:50
Round3: puking in the toilet and dying in the shower

Loved this one (first date with Barbara). Just kept thinking of an old coach who always said, "Leave it all on the field."

3 min rests were too long at first, then too short.

All pullups one-leg jumping (alternating).

All sets unbroken. Form started to deteriorate on the last set. Old PR was 16:08 on 081004. I attribute the improvement to my diet. I increased to 2.5x fat a month ago and my performance has improved significantly.

Also did 4 sets of the Burgener warmup and 4 sets of snatch drills. My objective is to learn how to properly snatch and overhead squat. These movements are new to me and I hope to get them figured out as soon as possible. I used very light weights. My shoulder flexibility is poor, but improving.

Performed pullups on a split bar which doubled as a dip machine. On the second set of pullups, cracked my head on the back bar, but kept going. Also, took 3:45 rest before last set due to someone else working in on pullup bar.

I don't know what happened. I scaled down to pack and was dead set to hit this one hard. Into the second set I knew I was done.

My muscles failed me. It wasn't because they were sore or that I couldn't do the workload. They just had this strange tingly/fatigue feel.

Not sure if I've overtrained or if I didn't eat right before, but I had a great CFT yesterday and was pretty disappointed to pull the plug so early today.

Argh! Very disappointed that I didn't finish all five rounds. I just about collapsed after round three; pounding heart, and Mr. pukie trying to come out. I basicly felt like all my energy was gone.

I usually work out first thing in the AM and don't eat breakfast beforehand. Is this my problem. I've always worked out like this but maybe with the intensity of CF I should start fueling earlier in the AM.

Any suggestions?

"MJ" comment 483
I found that when I didnt eat before a workout, especially an intense one, I had extreme feelings of nausea.. ever since feeling that way, i always eat before my workout. if i workout extremelt early that day, i plan to get up and eat at least a half hour before.
not sure if that helps!

I agree Kurt. You posted some good times. I can't figure out how guys are coming in at 2min or less while still getting full range of motion and moving from station to station. I would love to see video of these sub 2min. rounds

#522

Well I think it should be possible. I don't think you can do the pushups a lot faster than I do (and I'm sure I do them so fast that some would and should question my form), but I leave a lot on the table on the situps. It takes me more than a second per rep, and I know they can be done at 1 rep/second or better. I can do 25 squats/20 seconds...I can't believe I'm leaving much room there. It takes me <30 seconds to do 20 chins, but I don't butterfly, so I know there's ~10 seconds I'm wasting there. I can believe a ~ 2:00 min time, but that's gotta to be about the limit.

But this wod was designed for my body. I'm short, stocky, and light. Some of the other wods...I'm too embarassed to post :)

i did not have a pull up bar so i did the rest of it and it was alot harder than i thought but i know i will pay for it tomarrow lol

So pullups and pushups around 40sec
situps 40sec, squats 40 sec. So 120 sec plus a few seconds to move from station to station. Check out #115 times. Maybe he did crunches? Anyway keep up the good work, Crossfit is awesome

Just moved to small town at 9731' elevation at my house, up from about 5800'. Been here one week. I'm a CF rookie

I did three rounds, after that, my lats would no longer fire, pullups impossible even with vigorous kipping.

I began round 4 sans pullups, with nausea fast approaching. Beginning of round 5 cut short due to bad feeling in my guts. Took a hot bath to stave off the nausea, which usually works. No go. Tossed my cookies!

Well EB got me thinking about what's possible on this wod:

Techically, you should do the pushups on a device that you can hold onto so that you can pull yourself toward the ground and push back up. That could really decrease your pushup times. Same thing with the squats. If you could slide your feet under straps, so you can pull your butt to the ground quicker (faster than gravity), then you could really remove some time from the squats. You can already (and should be) pushing yourself down from the chin bar. I think a beast using these methods could get well below 2 mins a round.

I'd love to see someone do this a post a video!

Got sick on 3rd round. I got through it though. 33:58. I can't even hear right now. Blood sugar very low. Was sick this weekend and trying to recover. Partner did 50% of this workout. Still struggling through his part.

Barbara scaled to 5 rounds of
10 jumping pull-ups
20 push-ups
30 sit-ups (feet anchored for 1st 3 rds, in the air for last 2)
40 squats

Was going to do 20, 30, 40, 50 but 150 push-ups would have crushed me. Also forgot my stopwatch, so had to use an analog clock on the wall, and I ended up finishing in 42 minutes - 12 minutes for rest = almost exactly 30 minutes.

barbs made me puke last time.

5 rounds

That was all slower than last time I did this WOD (no round took over 4 minutes that time). Not sure what happened today. It's not like I was resting during the sets this time. Only thing I can think of is that maybe I'm going lower on the squats now.

Vaughn-

Actually, I stormed through Barbara the first time, no rest. It was not bad. It's the rest that kills you. Makes you think you can go harder than you are able to. Lulls you to sleep, and invites pukie. That said...

I had to cut this WOD short to go and get bitten by some angry DOU dogs:

2: 8'52"
3: 5'52" - cheated w/ jump p/u's.

I did it in 40:18 in all. Is that a good or bad time considering it's my first time doing this and i've only been following CrossFit, or have been trying to, for only 4 months now?
