Scaled down to 15,22,30,40 each round. Basically 75%, unanchored sit-ups. Didn’t even do the 5 BS. Barbara is my kryptonite.

The back squats were all completed in two or three sets on the last round. I extended the rest on the 4th round until minute 7 before starting round 5. Got in the last round before 30 minutes, but needed an extra minute or so to finish all five squats. Absolutely crushed and the type of workout that Ill be fatigued from for several hours. So much more brutal when part of that recovery time is for squating some heavy weight.

Rx’d:
2:54, 3:00, 3:10, 3:11, 3:44

I had to dig deep on that last round. Sneaky sneaky putting those heavy back squats into an already mental WOD. F%kkin A, good one.

Times slower than last 2 Barbara, which were all sub 3 min. rounds.

Intermediate, no back squats
3:18, 3:23, 3:32, 3:39, 3:35

Butterfly pull ups, pushups, abmat situps, painful air squats
First round Rx(w/ 225 back squats) ~4:55
Second round Rx ~5:30, but needed extra rest before starting next round
Third and fourth rounds competed air squats @5:40, no back squats, right into next round 
Fifth round only made it to the 15th squat when the bell rang. Also tore my left hand 😖. Legs have not been able to recover.

SC Barbara...but if I could read I wouldn't have done Barbara without rest...but I couldn't so I did 4 rounds without rest. Pullups weakest.

Intermediate plus further scaled the BS to 185#. Times are after BS because I glossed over the direction to note time after air squats, so each round was probably just shy of 3 min after air squats.

Sit-ups were abmat unanchored. There was definitely kipping in the pull-ups, but I went unbroken each round (super pleased with that).  I warmed up to 205# BS but knew right away that wasn't going to fly today, even with doing intermediate reps.  Glad I scaled the way I did, though my legs are already feeling trashed.  IOMS instead of DOMS - the next couple days are gonna be rough walking, kinda like after doing Manion.

Adapted Intermediate Option

Subbed 1min Row for the pull-ups (no pull-up bar)
Leg Press Machine instead of Back Squat.

Still trying to get over sickness. I’m too hardheaded to rest. Compromised and did intermediate.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
Well, if you're new to this, my name is Chris. Coach Glassman encouraged me to write these notes in January 2019 and I've been doing them ever since. They take on some different formats; my latest one involves a grid that I find helpful when scaling workouts. Basically, just imagine the fittest person you know, then imagine him coming in last in a group of 50 people, and of that group of 50 people, there are like 4 or 5 of them each of these workouts are designed for. When you think of the term "wheelhouse" that's what it means. Helen is in my wheelhouse. Cindy is in Coastie Nick's wheelhouse (you bastard!). Every workout plays to someone's strengths, most of them won't play to your (or my) own. So read the grid below with that target audience in mind. For this workout, think someone who can do each round in like 2:30 or less. That makes this a light weight/medium duration workout. Maybe medium weight/medium duration. Now, think about where you fall on that. For me, it would be a heavy(ish) weight/long(er) duration workout. Yours might be heavy and super long, or whatever. Then ask yourself what is the main limiting factor between you and the intended audience. Is it strength? Is it speed? Is it stamina? Is it coordination of the movements? That is your scale; shade the workout in order to work on what you need. Or just mindlessly sludge through the workout as listed as hard as you can. That works too sometimes.

WORKOUT THEMES
Adding a modern stamp to a classic benchmark workout. Squatting, pushing, pulling from the hips, pulling from the shoulders. High output followed by medium recovery. Stamina playing a factor in power output.

					SHORT		MEDIUM		LONG

LIGHT
													x <-- Spealller probably
MEDIUM
																x <-- me
HEAVY

COORDINATION SCALE
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
20 squats
15 kips (or decreased ROM kipping pull-ups)
10 push-ups

STRENGTH SCALE
Same every-6-minute format, but do 5 back squats, 10 ring push-ups, 15 strict pull-ups. Maybe add rounds if needed

SPEED SCALE
Stick with regular Barbara, but instead of doing a 3 minute rest after each round, do a 1 minute rest after each exercise.

MY STUFF
Still pouting, so I ended up just walking with my dad for about an hour venting and wondering about things that help support any stereotype of Michigan fans.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: ? Regular Barbara is a 9 (Mel thinks it's a 10). Either way it's bad. Not sure how much more sharks you can add to Sharknado to make it any worse.
