Notes: Rx+ may find an additional challenge among the following movement parameters; Set up the rings at a height even with a Box or stack of bumpers so that the torso/body is parallel to the deck at the bottom of the Ring Push-up and at the top of the Ring Row. Quality range of motion is critical for each repetition to count. We will again remind all of our athletes: Time is relative to the quality each athlete is willing to put into their movements during training. Get some, freaks.
