FIT BOMB - CrossFit Barbara (at home pullup modification)

Don't be fooled by the bodyweight movements, Barbara is just a hard workout plain and simple.

I'll tell you one thing, all, and I mean ALL, the workouts that say max effort and rest seem to kick my butt. A straight Barbara with no rest periods would be a sustained discomfort which ends as opposed to an all out effort where you are left gasping for air and exhausted to then spend the next 3 minutes catching your breath to get reading to do it again! 4 more times!!! SO WHY OH WHY DO IT?!!!

Here's why.

The goal of this benchmark is to keep the intensity HIGH, there is a 3:00 rest at the end of each round to recover to allow for the intended high power output. If you're looking at the underlying physiology, the extended rest allows for a much more complete recovery. This is a heavily glycolitic workout like Fight Gone Bad, with cumulative aerobic stress, but with the longer rest period of 3 min vs 1 min, you train the ATP refueling process as well. Gobbledygook, ramble ramble....just do it as Rx'd and take the 3 minutes. Try and keep the round times within 1-2 minutes of each other.
