I scaled the ring push-ups as 5 ring push-ups + the remainder of the set in normal push-ups each round (i.e. Round 10 was 5 ring push-up, 5 normal push-ups; rounds 5-1 were all ring push-ups).

Time:

19:57.6 (good fit for ‘metcon < 20 min')

Regarding the pressing:
Those plates are small. No ego here. :)

Something interesting happened in the set of 16. The weight didn’t really feel all that heavy (maybe cos it wasn’t), but it did get harder and harder to put overhead. Really hard to put fully overhead. I’d get it up there, elbows locked out and then that final outward rotation and shrug was a bitch. There were clicking sounds too. Shoulder flexibility issues? Hmmm…

Once the shoulder was activated I could stand there all day. Prior to it was a lot of effort to keep the bar up. Grip and elbow position are suspects and will be subject to experimentation.
