eugene teo who asked for this? 😂 ADHD society man, those smartphones are making our attention span worse than a goldfish’s. Good ring info. My dad introduced me to rings from an early age, most versatile piece of tool ever! Have a good one mate! Stay strong and healthy! Greetings from Greece!
After lifting weights for decades I bought a set for my home gym during the COVID shutdown. Now that my gym is open I’ve been focusing mainly on the rings. Not only am I putting less stress on my joints, at 65 years old Ive never been this ripped.💪
As a gymnast I can confidentially say that the first time you try ring push ups, all of your confidence at being good at push ups is thrown out the window😂
Weirdly enough, I've never been good at regular puships but I love ring pushups and I'm way better at them. I can't feel my chest as hard in any other exercise.
Actually it wasn’t that bad for me. Sure, so shaking, but not that hard I’ve seen at other people. To this day, I just love rings, they are soo good, recommend it to everyone who wants to gain serious strength and quality-muscle
I started using gymnastic rings again since this whole quarantine thing began. And I gotta say, that I think I already fell in love with them. Thanks for the video uncle Eugene
Really helpful 🙏🏻💕 I went furniture free in my living room a few months ago and cannot begin to express the difference this has made, especially having rings hanging in the room. Its play time all the time and my strength and form have improved massively. So much fun, highly recommend it. Would love to see ideas of new exercises to try.
This makes a lot of sense now. I weight lifted for 20 years. Just got into rings a few weeks ago and I will never go back, but I would feel myself getting almost nauseous halfway through the workouts. It felt like it did when I lifted too heavy with weights but I was confused how it was draining me so quickly on rings.
Video starts at 0:00 😎 Thanks coach! Tried rings for the very first time today - learned very quickly that dips aren’t the same 😂 Liking the challenge though! Would you ever consider doing a video on a ring specific workout we could do?
Been working out on gymnastic rings for a while. Love them the same way when I first started using them: the rings are the truth! They helped me become stronger.
Started working out with rings a couple months ago, and could never figure out why certain parts of my upper back and shoulders took longer to recover. Now I know.
Great video Eugene. I have never worked with the rings. I’ve always been a TRX guy for many years. I see the benefits though you mentioned in the video. Makes me want to try that now. Thanks for all your great work.
Yes and have for years. Just bought dual anchor point suspension straps, ie trx handles without the single anchor point. They’re a game changer for chins, Delt and upper back training as well as giving novel approaches to stimulating other areas. Currently only using these straps, can easily train whole body in the house with them.
Do I use gymnastic rings? Absolute yes. Although I mostly work with the basic movements like push-ups and bodyweight rows, I believe those two movements are foundational to any type of training, rings or otherwise. Although I do agree with the benefits you’ve stated, I will add one more benefit which is my favorite benefit of using gymnastic rings. Alongside the fact that you can take them anywhere provided there’s a sturdy place to use them, the look on people’s faces when you use gymnastic rings in public never gets old. When people see you use gymnastic rings even when just doing mostly basic movements, they know you’re serious with your training.
Great video! You have a very calm camera presence which feels refreshing. Often instructors on UA-cam act too hyper - like Duracell rabbits who just had too much sugar. Subscribed.
Hey Eugene, thanks for the info. This video came at a funny time because just yesterday I tried out some shadow boxing for fun as light conditioning work. Today, I woke up and my back was extremely sore. This led me to think whether or not just boxing movements (not necessarily hitting something but just weaving back and forth and jabbing) could actually be an effective way to recruit high threshold motor units? When you punch and shift your body, i suppose your lats for example are not simply working as your arm extends but also just to stabilize your body in general. This is different than a typical Lat exercise in the gym where your body is more stable on a seat or against a pad. Yet, if you overdo your conditioning, you'll be so fatigue that trying to do anything else in the gym will be unproductive. This leads me to wonder if incorporating some inherent instability into a weighted exercise is a potential avenue for more gains, for any body part in general. Do you have any thoughts about this?
I do ring workouts 1-2x/week usually towards the beginning of the workout (skills usually) then move on to weights for isolating muscles I want to focus on that day :)
Hello, I recently started working out with rings and I like it a lot, but may I ask you to bring out a video with more base exercises to start making then gymnastics combinations. Thanks mate 😀
It would ne perfect if you make some gymnastic exercises because I think it’s underated for hypertrophy, strenght and overall training. Big like for this video 👍
I am working with rings for a while now, I used free-weights for more than an year and did get some good progress but now I'm going ring and calisthenic only. Might deadlift and squat sometimes though.
a few years ago i ripped my right chest muscle doing dips on gymnastics rings, because i went to failure regularly and then i just dropped like a sack of potatoes.. regardless of this injury, i love gymnastics rings! have been a staple in my gym since i built them way back in 2010
Would love a top 10 list of uncommon/novel exercises (not coronavirus) if you have time. Lots on archer style pushups and chins etc and standard stuff plus crappy cardio variations but not a lot of cool stuff like what’s on screen here.
eugene teo Playlist of moderately useful stuff I’ve collected since Monday. Most of it is quite low level or way too generic “fitness” or novelty focused. ua-cam.com/play/PLgzpCpPzuOP1Ri0Y1Jjr12eixVUTjDqy7.html there’s quite a few channels that do decent bodybuilding techniques w/rings or straps but I’m thinking someone like you who goes in depth like you did with that weird Nordic curl/ glute ham hybrid exercise using the bench and smith machine, might have a valuable approach. Some I’ve been doing include: one arm cross body presses for pecs, hand from armpit to opposite shoulder. That works well to prepare or finish off the pecs. Tricep kickbacks work well too in the same way. The whole ATWYI exercises for back & delts are great too. One arm crucifix curls. Skater squats from the same starting position as the one arm crucifix curl, for glute. This ones a gem. that on top of the standard stuff you see like overhead tri ext. standard trx curls, push-up and row variations. Then there’s ham curls and assisted pistols etc. there’s lots to play with.
@@zacharyshort384 Squats for lower body, of course. But then again you don’t need anything to do squats, only bodyweight (you can progress to pistol squats later). So yeah again, you don’t need anything else than rings.
I do all my vert/horz pushes and pulls with rings and a dip belt for progression with the basics like weight training, aka weighted calisthenics. Free the scapula!!!
Gym Rings are the best The best exercises Best chest pushing exercise - Gym Rings pushups with added weight Best rowing and pulling exercises for back - Gym Rings Rows and Pull-ups Best Unilateral Leg Strength exercise (glutes, quads, hams) - Bulgarian Split Squat with one foot in the ring Best Triceps exercise - Gym Rings elbow extensions Best Biceps exercise - Gym Rings Pelican curls Best Hip Thrust (glutes and hams) - Gym Rings Hip Thrust - Feet in the rings, foam roller behind your neck From beginner - Incline Push-ups to Olympic champion athlete - Victorian Cross Adjust the difficulty in seconds - change leverage (when you perform push-ups walk forward to make it easy, walk back to make it hard) Train anywhere - gym, outdoor, yard, park, bedroom, garage (in a box, and with a fox) Good rings cost $100, last for a lifetime And much more
When I saw you couldn’t do the ring muscle up I felt much better about myself cus today I fail miserably like you but can do them on straight bar fairly easy 😆
I remember how my ego went down after doing ringed pushups. I thought since I could rep out weighted and one arm pushups that the rings would be easy. First thing that happened was that I was shaking and had no stability and felt a ton of burn in the mucle. Gymnastic rings are no joke.
Gym rings offer by far the highest value training: Best moves: pushups, pullups, dips, rows, biceps curls, triceps extension, Bulgarian split squat, hip thrust, etc Instant change of difficulty from very easy (incline push-ups) to extremely difficult (Iron Cross) Optimal range of motion Train anytime, anywhere
Getting good Stuff from your shared expertise. Thanks. You seem like a really nice, thoughtful guy. I'll bet once you know where the phrase "rule of thumb" comes from you'll probably avoid using it, as did I. Thanks again.
How come you can manage not to swear on UA-cam but on the ig lives it’s every couple of minutes or so. what the fucking fuck eugene! What the fucking fuck! 😂 keep up the great content and stuff 💪🏼
+Eugene Teo Could you explain what is achieved (or what is happening physiologically) with the exercise shown at approx time stamp 3:06? Is there a name for this movement? Thanks.
It's a Y raise fall out - for delts and upper back. We are doing eccentric overloaded reps here so the concentric is performed as. a row to get into position, then the eccentric is where we are focusing on the upper back and delts

Hi Coach - are you able to run through some more specific exercises using the rings? And why certain ones may be particularly useful / appropriate?

I do ring workouts 1-2x/week usually towards the beginning of the workout (skills usually) then move on to weights for isolating muscles I want to focus on that day :)
All my assumptions regarding my strength were nullified the day I started training using rings. The results are good.

What rings do recommend to purchase ?
Eugene, thanks for the rings. Can you do your skin care routine 🙈
It's awesome that u can actually do calisthenics
Gym Rings are the best
The best exercises
Best chest pushing exercise - Gym Rings pushups with added weight
Best rowing and pulling exercises for back - Gym Rings Rows and Pull-ups
Best Unilateral Leg Strength exercise (glutes, quads, hams) - Bulgarian Split Squat with one foot in the ring
Best Triceps exercise - Gym Rings elbow extensions
Best Biceps exercise - Gym Rings Pelican curls
Best Hip Thrust (glutes and hams) - Gym Rings Hip Thrust - Feet in the rings, foam roller behind your neck
From beginner - Incline Push-ups to
Olympic champion athlete - Victorian Cross
Adjust the difficulty in seconds - change leverage (when you perform push-ups walk forward to make it easy, walk back to make it hard)
Train anywhere - gym, outdoor, yard, park, bedroom, garage (in a box, and with a fox)
Good rings cost $100, last for a lifetime
And much more
I use mostly rings with a little free weights and running
yes i do at 68 years young
It gets so packed at my gym during peak times so I’ve replaced almost every upper body exercise with the rings
Nice!!
When I saw you couldn’t do the ring muscle up I felt much better about myself cus today I fail miserably like you but can do them on straight bar fairly easy 😆
