Barbara is one of CrossFit’s most challenging benchmarks. It combines volume and intensity in a way that we don’t often get. The rest in between each round should allow you to repeat fast sets of large reps.

If you do not have pull-ups or multiple push-ups in a row then consider scaling the movement or volume so you can finish the pull-ups in push-ups in 3 sets or less every round.

Similarly, you should be able to finish the sit-ups and squats in 3 sets or less.

One thing that helps in today’s workout is breaking the work into descending sets:

20 = 8-7-5 reps
30 = 10-8-7-5 reps
