Here's a rare look at a long-time staple in my #ringTraining: decline weighted #ringPushUps. This is BW+25x18, and at this angle, my body puts 145 on my hands in the bottom position--so 165 total and for two sets. This had been my back-off intensity for BW+65x9 before the deficit really set in.

Tried #MaxEffortMethod on decline #ringPushUps for BW+90x1. Might have managed a second rep, but tried and failed for +110 and then +100. I did back off with ±35x19 though, which was a PR as well.This may be too cumbersome, so I may just stick with bench variations for this spot in the rotation.

My decline weighted #ringPushUps and most of my #tricepsIsolation work experienced a huge boost recently since I came off my bench taper and once again into an accumulation phase. The pushups with +60 shot from 11 to 14 over the course of a month (now +65x9) and my #JMpress is now 115x18+.

You know, when I bumped JM press ahead of my ring pushups early on, I knew the pushups would take a hit, and they did somewhat. Today though, I had just come off a bench taper to restart accumulation, and suddenly I put 3 more reps on my max pushups with +60 AND doubled on +15 from a year ago.

I've rounded a corner on my decline #ringPushUps, as today I stepped up the added weight to 55 and managed to finish with a top set of 10 (minimum being 2 sets of 8) and followed that up with achieving my goal of 60 reps across 2 sets unweighted, so now onto 3x20 toward a goal of 90 reps...

After all that, I managed 36 reps across 3 sets of decline #ringPushUps with 50lb on (which means I'll be doing 2x8+ with 55lb next time) and backed that off unweighted with a set of 26 and then one of 29. On that last count, I give it one or two sessions before I step up to 3x20+.
