Gymnastic Ring training?

Hey guys,

Took a long time off the rings, don't remember what the progressions looked like.

Workout (Early Progression) :

Push-ups
knee Ring Flyes
Knee Jack knifes
Dips
Pull-ups
Stray cats

(Next progression):

Muscle-ups
Front & Back Levers
Ring Flyes
Full Jack Knifes
Planches

Does that look right? Aren't the workouts better limited to 3-4 exercises?

Any thoughts, pokes and advice appreciated!

Too kind on the muscle-ups, but I still struggle, kittens have stronger arms than I do! I can do them on bars but on the rings is a different story, way hard!! Small steps!

Happy ring trainings!
