This turned out to be an exercise in near-futility.
I wanted to see what I was made of so I substituted ring dips for regular dips.
Low score for each exercise as follows:
Push-ups: 6
Squats: 14
Ring dips: 1
Sit-ups: 5

Well, I said to myself, if Mike can do it with rings, I'm doing it with rings.
And, I'm proud to say that I got 2 reps at my worst (although the buzzer sounded just as I locked out, I'm saying tie goes to the guy about to vomit).
Push ups - 10
Squats - 17
Ring Dips - 2
Sit ups - 13

Good job, Rob. Looks like you're the winner today. Isn't amazing how humbling ring dips are? They're so humbling that you actually start hoping for 2 whole reps during the 20-second work cycle because that feels like a real accomplishment.
