Bodyweight Challenge: Thunderstorm Barbara

The Minimalist Gym.

Time for another Body Weight Challenge, eh? You bet your ass it is! This time we'll be doing The Crossfit workout called "Thunderstorm Barbara". It's just like a normal Barbara, except it's done in the thunderstorm. No questions! Wait for the right time. It's essential when forging elite fitness.

No, really. Just do it whenever you like! I just happened to get caught in the storm while trying it out. Just before that, my friend Pete did his circuit training in a hell of a heat wave. In Finland, you never know what the weather might throw at you. Anyway, here we go!

Thunderstorm Barbara


In this workout, you will be doing five rounds, each of 20 pull-ups, 30 push-ups, 40 sit-ups and 50 air squats. Keep the pace!

Between rounds, you rest 3 minutes. No more, no less.

So, five rounds and a hell of a lot of reps. This workout is a great metabolic conditioning for the wrestlers and such. Watch my Barbara video below to get motivated. I did only 10 pull-ups in each round, because I wasn't so sure about my "pull-up condition". Feel free to ease it up, if it feels too bad. If you don't start up with something, you end up with nothing!

GO!
