August Challenge---ring dips



You may wonder what Brear Rabbit has to do with the ring dips. What we are doing with the ring dip challenge is to make our weaknesses strengths and to make our strengths stronger. So that someday when we are at the CrossFit games there is no briar patch that we are afraid of. The games will be able to throw anything at us and we will eat it up like a plate of cookies.

Now some details as follows:
1)each month will be a different exercise, this month it is ring dips, next month it may be anything from pullups, muscleups, knees to elbows, handstand pushups, situps, double unders, you name it. We will set a figure and we try to achieve the goal.
2)at the end of each day post your total reps and Tommy the commissioner will add the totals manually.
3)if you are proficient at the monthly challenge exercise simply add weight and make it as difficult as possible. nobody here is concerned with time on the challenge reps, we are just adding strength and dominance to the particular exercise.
4)as we are not concerned with time focus on achieving a full range of motion by going as deep as we can with this particular exercise.

As Pavel says: "lets grease this groove"

do you want us to try to do as many ring dips as possible and report?

yep, hit at least 500, do more if possible, just make a concerted effort to work on the ring dips.

500 in a month, week, day?

500 by the end of the month. Not much. 25/day more or less. Just get 500+ by August 31st.

Beginning September 1st, a new "grease the groove" will be added. By then, your ring dip groove will have been greased and it will be time to move on.
