#ringdips are tough for me. #crossfit #fitness

I'm not that good at doing #ringdips #Crossfit

Arm-Training heute war geil. Negative Pull-Ups (also oben anfangen und sich runter lassen). Waren brutal. Und sonst noch so deftig viel Zeugs, Pike-Pushups, Dips, sogar erste Ringdips probiert... Danach hatte ich wie so zwei Puppen-Arme, die einfach an mir runter baumelten.

Always saying this about #ringDips (for more than a decade, incidentally). Recently using rings for #LSitDips (quasi-Gironda-style) to great effect.

Goddamn beastly today: Got 8s on BW+85 #ringDips and then banged out a backoff of BW+55x18, which was a +2 rep PR. Now I'll finally be on to repping out two-plates on those dips, which will be the first time I've even touched two plates for any kind of dips.

Made some changes to my modified PPL--some prior, some I'm only just now implementing. Apart from the temporary suspension of lower day developmental accessories--and there opting for more specific strength development--I've swapped my bench and OHP, due to the B cycle not giving my traps a break.

Huh, forgot to add wrist and finger curls. End of pullB should handle those just fine, since there's no kind of pulling on lowerB 48h after; same reason I can probably skip a rest day after lowerB (four days between any kind of pulling in that case, and six days before any kind of deadlifting).

... So now I have to figure out what variation to use following the achievement of that unweighted goal. For #ringDips, I stepped up my weighted sets from 2 to 3 and my unweighted backoffs over to #BulgarianDips and managed only 15 reps each for 2 hard sets, which was a fortuitous amount of runway.

I'm fairly certain even if I apply the data about regular dips compared to #ringDips conservatively, I could probably manage two plates for reps even up to 10+. I may have to see if there's a dip attachment compatible with my squat rack and perhaps use it to flesh out the lower rep ranges.

Hit a new milestone with #ringDips in my #ringTraining today. I only just bumped the weight up to 75lb and managed seven reps with that. Then I followed up with my usual unweighted backoff sets needing 90+ reps over three sets which I exceeded to finish strong with a 35 rep set...

Wow, these were calculated from my last two PRs on #ringDips (unweighted and weighted, respectively--more details in the alt-text). I hadn't realized I had already progressed so far on this. The weighted PR I performed having done triceps extensions the day prior and heavy bench two days prior.
