Yowza! I really can’t imagine the length of time and amount of skin/blood loss it would take me to complete all 5 rounds. Pretty happy that Chad took it easy on us and chose to miniaturize this one. Eva’s a beast.

Whoa! 12 minutes and you did weighted squats? Holy cow. They are supposed to be air squats, but wow . . .

For instance, I do Barbara “lite”. I get the first set of pullups, then I MIGHT get the second round of 10 but likely not, and then I break the others into 5-5. Then at the end probably 3-3-3-1.
This is a really evil wod, if you go fast.
Wow, that was good advice on breaking them up, it got really tough at the end.
Barbara Lite:
1. 3:38
2. 3:17
3. 3:35
4. 4:08
5. 4:22
I stumbled out to my car and sat there for 20 minutes before I could actually convince myself that I was alive enough, and had enough strength in my arms to be able to drive home. What a workout!
