Did my first real workout of the day in, perhaps, two years.
1/2 Barbara:
five rounds of:
10 pull-ups
15 push-ups
20 sit-ups
25 squats
2m rest
Time: 25:00
Hermina did the full (2x reps, 3m rest) and completed 3 rounds + 68 in 30:00
Now the next crew is getting ready for the CrossFit Open...
Location:Frid St,Hamilton,Canada
Warm-up:
back squat (doubles to 195#)

First time I've done Barbara with the rests between rounds. Last time I did this with no rest between rounds (links to the history of Barbara variants can be found in the comments of this post. Pushups sucked, may have to embark on a Tabata experiment like Kenway.

"Barbara"
5 rounds of:
20 pullups

whew. I've finally finished this damn workout. My knee started tweaking during the squats in the 4th set so I had to slow down and take it easy. Pretty much all sets broken except the first set of situps. Was pretty good (or bad) at getting half the required reps out unbroken, but suffered for it for the rest of the round. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to full height on the last 2-3 pullups of set 4 and 5 either. A good workout though.
Warm-up:
squats
KTEs
stretching

Lungs are finally coming back online. Situps and squats the worst; hips were smoked after yesterday. Oh, and I had to move halfway through cause some jock wanted to use the Smith machine I was doing pullups at. Punk. Tasted my lunch midway through (tuna, chickpeas and bacon bits!).
warm up:
1x10 Turkish get-up + windmills, 25# plate
3x15 sumo dead lift high pulls, 45#

Maybe next time I'll finish that last set. It's an improvement over before though.
