Heads up on ring flies. For beginner even intermediate - I copped a shoulder joint injury known as Bursitis from over doing a workout and thought I’d tackle the ring flies after being a little fatigued but wanted to try them. PAY THEM RESPECT! Or suffer an injury like me, I don’t know how to progress them but if you’re at the gym how much are you putting on the weights? Probably not close to your body weight so be careful!
You generally want to do rings before anything else, as they are hella demanding on your stabilizers, let alone your primary movers. Once you get used to them, then your gains will fly! The shorter the strap, the more stable you'll be on them. So having them bound to something low gives you almost full stability. Once those straps are let out, they become more and more unstable. If you're new to them, keeping up with them even with hanging in the top position of a dip for time will help tremendously. Just never let your shoulders get to your ears, they're always depressed. When you can no longer keep your shoulder blades depressed, will tell you when you're fatiguing.
I am a 65 year old bloke - living n working in China Got a pull-up bar fitted into my apartment last month and attached rings a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love the impact of the rings on my chest - even though its early days and I am nowhere near horizontal! Just feels like i can control the impact by swinging around til it hits. Much better than push ups for me. Early days of my callisthenics generally but really appreciate and enjoy your movies - including n especially this one! Cheers :)
@@BrokeGains_TV It really depends where you live. I would say city to city, its about the same - say London to Beijing. But I live in a smallish place and my rent for a two bedroom apartment is around 200 UK Pounds a month. which is much cheaper than my home town in UK
Great info! My chest never really developed until I incorporated rings and chin up for upper chest. I’m 56 and calisthenics combined with kettlebells and bands have been incredible for my fitness journey
Oh, nice! This video came in clutch since decline deficit push-ups started to get too easy for me, and I was looking for some progressions just two days ago. Definitely going to do my first sets of ring- and maybe even weighted ring push-ups today. Thanks for the quality content man! aNd i love how you can feel the deep stretch in the chest just by looking at you doing them at 10:38.
Outstanding video and advice. I´m all into progressive overload on weighted pull-ups and dips and the results are amazing. This stuff definitely works.
Also, if you don't feel chest during pushups, try to do few of pushups and experiment - houlders back, contract back/spine, rotate a bit hand placement ... try to experiment with position you are doing pushups.
Hey, man! I really appreciate your videos! I am curious to hear more of your thoughts about what Coach Sommers mentioned originally in his book Building the Gymnastic Body and on your recent podcast video, which is the Steady State Cycle. I know in this video you are mentioning the progressive overload, but I'm sure others are curious on your take of the 12-week cycle Sommers lays out. I'm currently doing one to see how it goes, incorporating static hold progressions (L-Sit and Front Lever) into a workout on MWF. I'm curious how it will go as I go thru the Overload > Load > and then De-Load phases of this cycle. I struggle with the idea of it on one hand, but on the other, I want to see what will happen. Currently my sets and reps for both static and dynamic are fixed for the 12-weeks.
I had to abandon the rings push ups and ring dips because of my upper back disc. Now I do deficit push ups with a reinforced backpack and sometimes barbell bench press.
Bro, your physique is amazing. It's just wow, I wish I can be like you one day. I also do calisthenics, and here is what I am doing so far. I exercise 4 times per week, and I eat before and after workout. I don't know if this is a good idea? It works for me so far. I also add some supplements and I follow nutrition plan for muscle gain at OnlyMeal. I am doing this for two months already, and I feel how people notice and acknowledge me much more than before. And my mental health improved a lot as well.
How many days per week do you do this? So you do a couple sets of each variation along with maybe 1 weighted dumbbell exercise. Do you finish both sets of a variation then move on to the next? I would like to see more on specific routines instead of form. Thanks for the great content

There is a ton video's of this topic in this channel, search for them... Basically, low % body fat 1-2 exercises for abs, like cable crunch, hanging knee raises. That's it
I used to naturally flare my elbows on ring push ups but then o stopped cause i thought i wasn't supposed to. It does feel like the chest gets more work tho, I'm gonna bring it back
When you say use a decline for the upper chest, that's having your feet higher than your head when using rings, correct?, or of course when using a bench(inclined) it's head higher than feet for upper chest.
Bro i have a question: For muscle growth/lean body which one is best, (1) more reps with light/moderate load (2) Training with heavy load with reps between 8-12 ??
It's ridiculous how much you look like my best friend haha not kidding 😄 anyway I wanna ask something related to chest excercises...when I do a dumbell chest fly I always have pain in my shoulders the days after. Maybe you can make a video about how to do a proper dumbell chest fly? Cause the shoulder pain is really frustrating me
Retract shoulders as much as possible. Try doing something for shoulder stability a few times a week. Warm up the rotator cuff before pressing. Plenty of things to help, but overall, shoulder pain means your scapular motion is limited, your shoulder stability needs hhelp, or you need to reduce weight. Don't ever feel like you have to do more. Do 8-10 - reps, 2 sets and make sure you sweat. People that go to the gym and DONT sweat , are almost always wasting time. No point in easy breezy work, it doesn't help anything grow, and without proper warm up, you teach insanely bad habits to your own body. Hope that helps 😊
@Twizzler300 I do retract my shoulders but maybe I retract them to much? I must say that I have a condition where I really have a straight back by nature. My doctor says I don't have that arch in my lower back like a normal person. In short: I have a natural straight back. So maybe it is somehow bad for me to retract my shoulders more back?
@instrumentaldude8349 hmm yea. I personally love hanging leg raises. Maybe try leaning back slightly on a wall, to where your upper back gets rounded forward (natural) and focus on the lower back being in a soft arche. I normally do my leg raises like this since it puts more movement in the motion, but it relieves my lower back pain alot. Sometimes back strength relies more on oblique and core strength as a balance. A strong core will demand the lower back to arche some, naturally. Idk your fitness level at all. I'm just spitting basic metrics. Try some deep mobility movements such as leg raises, at your level, and add some yoga poses for hip and core strength, like cat cow or downward dog. I personally do not like filming video tutorials, but more basic stuff. One thing I like doing for any kind of pressing is, I stay on the balls of my feet, instead of using some weird bent knee leg drive everyone recommends. I think your hips have a better complacency when your knees are more in front of you and your on balls of feet. Try rethinking everything you do involving hips and back, and keep in mind to brace core.
@instrumentaldude8349 ultimately, try to keep hips strong and steady, keep your glutes tight, and do some core work. As someone thats 5'8 and all torso, I don't know of we have the same problems, but I do know when my back feels stiff, going for a jog, and doing core work always relieves (freshens) up my back. I don't know if you feel stiff or just have a medical issue. Not sure on giving advice to some one randomly on the internet lol
How to overcome a progress plateau on weighted deficit pushups? I've been doing + 31 kg for a couple of months 10-8-8-6 clean reps and cannot increase my rep count 😢 My core usually shakes and struggles on the last rep.
Annoyingly I’m not sure I can do this ring push up set up as I have doorway pull up bar that I put rings on. I think the door frame gets in the way. Haven’t tried yet though - but definitely can change the width to wider that about should width
I have a similar set up as you. The ones I don't have too much room with are the archer ones. My doorway is close to a wall on one side so I usually have problems with anything that's going to extend something out too far, but pushups, dips, just around shoulder width, I haven't had a problem because even using full range, deep stretch, it hasn't extended out tha lt far where the wall stopped anything.
Most effective way of building muscles is 5-8 rep range so pick a weight/exercise where you can do only so much reps. Not saying you cant build muscle with high rep ranges but 5-8 is the best.
I would advice you not to do so high reps for building muscle. The reason os pretty simple. Mechanical tention which is the primary driver of muscle growth will be minimal(cause it needs heavier weights), its almost impossible to train to failure as well as you will mostly get fatiqued out of your cardiovascular system and not out of muscle stimulus💪💪
Why your lower back region is wide even after building such an amazing physique. I also have this issue (but i don't have the good physique either on my part)

At what point do you move on to the ring push up from regular push ups? Is there a certain number or reps or sets we should achieve before moving on?

If your gym doesnt have rings, can you do this with those yellow TRX straps?
Bro i have a question:
For muscle growth/lean body which one is best, (1) more reps with light/moderate load
(2) Training with heavy load with reps between 8-12 ??
Research suggests it doesn't matter, as long as you stay in the 8-30 rep range - the range shown to promote hypertrophy the most.
Where do you advise hanging rings in an average home/apartment. Door frame pull up bar doesn’t seem ideal or very versatile

My core usually shakes and struggles on the last rep.
My chest seems bigger than shoulder and arm. Should i decrease workout on focused chest?
How many sets/reps?
How can you build bigger legs with calesthenics?
Are TRX suspension trainers equivalent to rings ?
Yep, in this case. For some exercises the TRX can feel a bit restrictive because the bands form a triangle close to the hands
Surprised that ring dips isn't included here... I wonder why...
Hee bro I am first 🥇
Love from India ❤
Will that help me with my pectus problem in my chest?
I do very rarely push ups or dips and have a good chest. Close grip chin ups are the way to go for a good chest 🤌🏽🔥
? To build one side do you do two reps one side or something like that
Start with weaker side and match with the stronger one. Once weaker side failed, do not co time with the stronger side.
What is your height sir ?
Annoyingly I’m not sure I can do this ring push up set up as I have doorway pull up bar that I put rings on. I think the door frame gets in the way. Haven’t tried yet though - but definitely can change the width to wider that about should width

Try bending slightly forward away from the doorframe maybe
I'm weak and skinny, but I have a naturally devolved chest randomly. Skinny arms are the curse 😮
Bro does high volume basic exercises build muscle? Like 100s and 1000 of reps
Most effective way of building muscles is 5-8 rep range so pick a weight/exercise where you can do only so much reps. Not saying you cant build muscle with high rep ranges but 5-8 is the best.
