Barbara is on the menu today! Barbara is a Benchmark workout. This workout is a lot of volume in short amounts of time. Athletes can push a little harder each round than we may want to, knowing you have a big chunk of rest coming your way. Athletes should aim to hold consistent paces and strategize their breaks before getting started so that they have a plan to avoid working to failure. Choosing manageable sets that do not go to failure and maximizing our rest between rounds by slowing our breathing down and reducing our heart rate will pay off once you get into the 4th and 5th rounds where the wheels may start to fall off.

*There are three different options for volume in this workout. All three options are still five rounds but the reps are modified accordingly over three levels.
