090210 Barbara

“Barbara”
5 rounds for time, rest 3 minutes between each round:
20 Pull-ups
30 Push-ups
40 Situps
50 Squats

ROUNDS: 2:47, 3:42, 5:31, 5:44, 5:20
Total time: 23:04

Barbara - Oct. 6, 2008: 4:30,5:20,9:30,9:50(F),NO ROUND FIVE… TOTAL: 29:10

Last time I was 6 minutes slower than today, and I quit during the fourth round because I didn’t want to pass out, or vom, or pass out and vom. Big improvement.

Felt great all day, and destroyed the WOD. Though, after I finished, I did get the feeling that I was literally going to die.

Looks good mano, great work on Barbara. Do you feel like you're seeing an uptick in performance?

Absolutely, the zone is working. W/O the zone, I think I would've been able to finish, but a lot slower. I've gotten a lot better at pullups and pushups, and I didn't break my situps at all, but it was in the squats that I most felt a significant boost in performance. Even in the later rounds, I was able to fly through 25 squats before burning out, and then it was 5, 10, 10 to finish up - except round four, which was prob. something like 25,1,4,5,5,10.
