–Coaches Notes–
What better way to come back from that macro friendly Thanksgiving dinner(s) we all had than a good SOLID benchmark workout?! Barbara is one of those benchmark workouts that will test your ability to push past that want to stop. The volume of this workout adds up BUT do keep in mind that you do get a full 3 minutes of rest after EACH ROUND. 3 minutes is a long for recovery for bodyweight movements so use it wisely. Shake out what gets tight, get your heart rate down, and think about where adjustments could be made for he next round to keep it at the same time or faster than the previous round. Set a goal of 4 to 6 minutes a round and keep that pace for all 5 rounds.

For quality: 15 Low Ring Muscle-ups (Video Posted Below)
Even if you aren’t quite to muscle ups yet these drill can still be beneficial. The awareness and stability that it takes for the transition can be applied to other movements.
