Push Jerks, Ring Dips, and Rope Climbs
In today’s workout, the rounds are increasing and reps are decreasing throughout each section. The loading of the barbell is relatively light and should allow you to do 10 reps unbroken every time you pick it up. For the ring dips and rope climbs, manage your reps, and don’t push to failure. Consider breaking the ring dips into sets of 5 to minimize fatigue and keep pushing forward through the workout.
