Jim vs. Back Squats, Ring Push-ups, Ring Rows

I’m doing my best to get back that 265 PR on back squats. Today was 5×3 at 80%; for 255 that’d be 205, and for 265 it’d be 212. I did 210.

210 x 3
210 x 3
210 x 3
210 x 3
210 x 3

After that, I set up the rings to do some ring push-ups and ring rows, both of which were new to me. It was supposed to be a 10 minute AMRAP, but back squats took more time than expected, so I did a RFT instead.

Three rounds for time of:
10 ring push-ups
10 ring rows

Finished in 3:12, and it was harder than expected; I’d have been lucky to get through 8 rounds on the AMRAP. Interesting motion, though, and I really feel like I need to be bringing in the rings more. Maybe that’ll be my January project.
