How do I do the Bar-barian test part if I am not at the level of passing it yet?

Simple my friends...you have 6 minutes, 1:12 at each of the 5 stations of exercises (5 Muscle Ups, 45 Dips, 25 Pull Ups, 55 Push Ups, 5 Muscle Ups). Do your best to hit the requirement...if you hit it, cool, move on to the next one, if you drop early, you're done, write down what you did. No stopping and resting and then starting back up again, pausing in the top of a push up position, yes that's cool, hanging on the bar with feet off the floor, yes that too is cool, but dropping the knees, you're done, jumping off the bar, you're done:). SO, do your best at each station, write what you did, then add them up at the end.

So for example here's what my numbers looked like last week:

1. 3 Muscle Ups...written as 3.5/5 (I count walk ups as half reps, I did 7 walk up mu's)
2. 35 Dips = 35/45
3. 11 Pull Ups = 11/25
4. 35 Push Ups = 35/55
5. 0 Muscle Ups = 0/5

So although I'm not there yet, I got good baseline numbers to improve on next week:) If i can improve just 5 reps each week, then I'll be at about 125 in 8 weeks and that is pretty close to passing the Bar-barian requirements and that in my book is a feather in my cap:) So get a good baseline and improve it next week, that is the goal!
