Justin and I debated about what the bar muscle up ratio was to each ring muscle up. I thought maybe 1.5 per ring mu would be enough, but due to lack of experience with the ring muscle up am unsure.
I timed the first 45 (1.5x): 11:37, but decided to keep going, as 2 X is probably more realistic sub. It's just impossible to simulate the difficulty of the false grip on a bar...

By the later reps, I was banging the ribs on the pull-up bar in the transition part. Probably see some bruising there tomorrow.

DNF at 10 reps with m-u on rings, due to bloody broken blisters on my wrists. I think it's time to take the tape off the rings. I'm going to give it another go later and maybe do 3x pull-ups and ring dips if I can't hack it.

can't do a muscle-up...at least not on this power tower. so i did 4 X pullups & dips. i should've rested today. each pullup felt like i had two midgets on my back who were simultaneously punching me in the lats and stabbing me in the shoulders with pencils. needless to say this was not fun. 26:16.

That.... sounds uncomfortable.
