Tried to keep rounds between 3 and 4 minutes pushing flat out. Have previously done this rx but taken lots of breaks. Felt this was better.

Commented on: Dr. Dominic D’Agostino: Emerging Applications of Nutritional Ketosis
a key takeaway from Dr.D'Agostino's presentation is that the ketogenic diet is the canary in the coalmine: it's alerting to us to the importance of whole-body metabolic changes that can beneficially impact an incredible number of pathways therapeutically relevant to an ever growing number of diseases - especially diseases of civilization (e.g. obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer...) on a different note, here's something for fellow nerds out there. Read Schurr's paper who proposes a different view on (cerebral) glycolysis. i propose that his model of glycolysis (i.e. where lactate is end of the line metabolite rather than pyruvate) is a better match for observations of the benefits of ketosis for our metabolism http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25477776 "Cerebral glycolysis: a century of persistent misunderstanding and misconception" (2014)

27:35 (incl. all 5 rests). 1st round scaled way to easy (5 strict, 10,20,30). Changed to 8 strict, 20 push ups, 30 sit ups, 40 air squats (Was finishing these rounds in about 2:50-2:55). Note to self: try Rx next time as long as Kipping pull ups aren’t garbage still.

M/35/5'9/165lb As Rx'd R1: 2:48. R2: 3:05. R3: 3:15. R4: 3:47. R5: 4:07. opened my hand pretty bad at the end of round 4. 5th round was three sets of kipping no butterfly. That took away my arms too for the push ups. And situps were hardest part of the workout for me too. Did the standard showed in the video today for abmat situps no momentum.

Started with 4x1 min runs, 1 min rest, then 2x2 min runs, with a 2 min rest in between runs. The Barbara: No pull-up bar, so subbed 20x29# bent over rows with each arm for pull-ups. Rounds 4 and 5 subbed 1:15 plank for the sit-ups. First 3 rounds wore a sore in my arse. Barbara has alway had that affect on me. 4:40 4:30 4:29 4:13 4:24

Scaled it to 20 bent-over-rows with two 8 kg dumbbells for the pullups (I have no pullup bar). I tried real hard in the first 4 rounds to get the work done in 3 minutes but...that wasn't happening. So I reduced the reps for the last round to 15 bent over rows, 20 pushups, 25 situps and 40 squats. Overall, Barbara felt like a highly demanding workout that had me praying for an early death real quick. 4:12/3:48/4:07/4:28/3:00

INTENDED STIMULUS . Hell yeah! This is one of the original six benchmark workouts. It does not get any more CrossFit than this. You have here our four sacrosanct body weight movements. Which tells you you should commit to virtuosity today, and show them the love they deserve. They all demand a lot of strength and anaerobic power. Yet the stimulus we are looking for in this workout is aerobic. We want you to be able to keep a 1:1 work to rest ratio. That means we want you to be able to sustain ~3:00-minute rounds for the whole time. Yes! That is hard, really hard. And if you can't you should scale so you can. Today, shoot for fast intervals where you jump from one movement to the other with ease, and where you push those squats at the end with anger. Scale the number of reps if you have the skills, but you will not be able to get everything done within the ~3 minutes. If the pull-ups are not there yet, today is a great day for jumping pull-ups, they will keep the intensity up and they will work your pulling stamina. Push-ups on the rack are the way to go here. Sit-ups and squats are where the burn gets real. Today let's celebrate CrossFit, move fast and with virtuosity! And for extra nostalgia, squat to a medicine ball, like the old days! NOTE ON BENCHMARK This is a benchmark. With benchmarks the stimulus can also be just to gather data, and not the designer's view of the workout. If you have done this before and you want to compare your results to see where you are, that's cool. Even if that means you are not really hitting the intended stimulus designed for this workout. Check this link in bio to read about the original benchmark workouts: https://journal.crossfit.com/article/benchmark-workouts-2 OPTION 1 5 rounds, each for time of: 15 pull-ups 25 push-ups 35 sit-ups 45 squats Rest precisely 3 minutes between each round. Workload reduction: more reduction for the more challenging movements, less reduction for the less challenging ones. If you can do 15 pull ups unbroken consistently, this is a good one for you. OPTION 2 5 rounds, each for time of: 10 pull-ups 20 push-ups 30 sit-ups 40 squats Rest precisely 3 minutes between each round. OPTION 3 5 rounds, each for time of: 10 jumping pull-ups 20 rack push-ups 30 sit-ups 40 squats Rest precisely 3 minutes between each round.

Juan, to both you and Chris, I can't imagine doing a round of Barbara in 3 minutes!

Champions Club Scaling Notes RANT: When I was doing CrossFit in high school and college, the one area of improvement I noticed more than anything was in my recovery time for the sports I played. In both football and basketball, any time there was a stop in the action (dead ball, change of possession, or whatever) I would feel fully energized by the next time play picked up. It’s like I used the Missingno glitch on Full Restores. Workouts like Barbara really give you a sense of how well you recover. When scaling, look to keep about a 1:1 work/rest ratio in some way and keep all 5 rounds. For best training purposes, I would not try and pace; going very fast at the start gives you a more honest look than trying to balance out on all 5 rounds. If you have done this 7 times before, then that’s where you might actually know how to pace at like 90% and still get the desired effect. Otherwise, allow yourself to burn out. I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I have lived a full, meaningful life and am ready to move on from this world GROUP VERSION: 5 3-minute rounds of: 10 pull-ups 10 push-ups 20 sit-ups 20 squats Rest precisely 3 minutes between each round. This format will allow us to keep intensity and divide the session into two groups if bar space is limited I’M ONLY HERE ONCE A WEEK AND THIS IS THE DAY VERSION: group version is fine INJURY VERSION: Upper-body injury — same as group, just cut out pull-ups and push-ups, or do one arm ring row/dumbbell variations Middle-body injury — pull-ups and push-ups are fine, cut the sit-ups and maybe squats if needed Lower-body injury — 5 pull-ups, 5 push-ups, 3 minutes. Keep the intensity WARMUP: Jump rope — always Hollow rock — kipping midline prep Handstand — spend some time overhead and upside down Squat — obviously [insert thing you suck at] GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 9

I knew you were going to say that. And I say it's not Fight Gone Bad. I would also put Elizabeth slightly ahead of this one.

Globo scale: As rxed. If you are at a hotel or somewhere without a pullup bar, consider finding a park for a set of monkey bars or a fitness station for pullups. You can also hang rings and do ring pullups. If at planet fitness, at home with a door gym, or a gym that has only a power tower (pullup/dip station all in one) sub 12 strict pullups. If you are stuck at a hotel with only dumbbells do 20 bent over rows 50/35lb dbs, or if they have one use the lat pulldown machine as a last resort.
