ring push ups were the limiting factor, dls were quick

Don't remember exact ring push ups splits but first set was amrap 10/4, next couple of sets were 7/6s and last 3 rounds were in 3s and 2s. I conscious worked to change positioning of rings so as to maximize pec muscles, upper fibers burned out quickly, and I was then able to keep going using the lower fibers. 

195#x2

first set of KTE's, you be the judge - does this meet standard listed above?

Slept about 6.5 hours, just went to bed too late (but I'd had a good nap in the afternoon), Coffee with cream & honey about 5:30am, began training at 6am, had post wod protein shake. Coached from 7:30-9:30am somewhere in there I ate a banana and a larabar (in hindsight way too much carbohydrates for this training day) but I needed the food before MT from 9:30-12:30pm. 1pm coaches meeting sat down with my chicken salad and hydrated, it was a humid and sticky day. 4pm ish protein shake with coconut water, mineral infused water, handful of almonds, 3 cacao/date chunks. Dinner steak with braised greens and a dollop of local goat cheese with a weak gin and tonic on the rocks, handful of local strawberries.
