15/10 Ring Push-Up
Time Domain: 9:00–13:00
Time Cap: 15:00
Stimulus: A push–pull–swing conditioning blend that keeps the upper body under high demand while the row and swings elevate heart rate. This combination tests grip endurance, shoulder stability, and explosive hip drive, all while challenging athletes to sustain quality lockouts on the ring dips under fatigue.
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Maintain unbroken KB swings and keep ring dip sets consistent from start to finish.
Secondary Objective: Row at a repeatable split pace each round without excessive fade.
Workout Strategy:
Approach “River Rapids” with the intent to keep each round within a similar time window, aiming for minimal drop-off in pace. On the row, push a strong but repeatable effort—roughly 85%—letting the legs do the majority of the work to preserve the arms and shoulders for the later movements. Transition quickly into the kettlebell swings, focusing on a full and explosive hip drive to keep the arms relaxed and avoid early grip fatigue. Aim to stay unbroken on swings if possible. The ring dips will be the limiting factor for many—break early into manageable sets (e.g., 2–3 quick sets) to maintain lockout quality and avoid excessive rest. Breathe through transitions and keep movements smooth to prevent spiking heart rate too early.
Movement Modifications
- Row: Reduce calories to maintain the intended time domain (should take ~1:00–1:20 per round). Substitute Ski Erg or 200m run if needed.
- Kettlebell Swing: Use a lighter kettlebell or switch to Russian swings if shoulder mobility or if lower back issues are a concern. For travel or equipment limitations, perform dual dumbbell swings.
- Ring Dip: Scale to band assisted ring dips, box/bench dips, or ring push-ups. For strict strength focus, consider parallettes or deficit push-ups as substitutes.
