- A true classic WoD, "Barbara" is a fine test of gymnastics volume. Simply put how do you hold up to the rigours of lots and lots of pull ups & push ups??
- These reps quickly catch up with you and you soon realise that your form & technique will be the reason why you proper in this one. We value movement standards very high up on the ROD. One such thing we hold din high regard is your ability to withstand & tackle the movements &/or scaling options with the upmost integrity. We do NOT allow mid-WoD changes to scaling (unless a coach has deemed it necessary for your own well being). You are always held accountable to your choices and we like you to stick by them. If it helps you decide then consider that we'd like the pull ups done in 1-3 sets and the push ups done in 1-4 sets.
- For those that are new to this workout we will chat about appropriate overall volume to the.
- For those of you who've done this many a time with us, you will have old scores to compare to but also consider placing a training emphasis to the workout. Can you do the pull ups unbroken every round? If so can you butterfly them each round? There is ALWAYS a way to challenge yourself to become better.
- Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
- We will place a Scale As needed.
- Compare to 13/05/17
