    In this video I cover a rings workout for beginners that anyone can use to start their journey into calisthenics. I consider rings to be equipment more geared towards those entering the intermediate phase of calisthenics and bodyweight training, but I recently put together this rings workout with progressions and thought I’d share it.
    Gymnastics ring training is by far one of the most difficult forms of bodyweight exercise because the rings provide the ability to not only move 360 degrees as they hang from the straps, but they can also rotate 360 degrees as well. This makes them an extremely unstable platform for performing your resistance training in comparison to the floor and bars. The end result is one of the most challenging forms of calisthenics workout.
    Although their origin comes from gymnastics, I feel that anyone and everyone should feel welcome to training with rings. At first they’ll feel very difficult, even impossible, but if you work with them consistently and use the progressions I show in this video, you’ll quickly find yourself working on them with control and confidence.
    For this full body beginner workout I’ve broken the exercise into 4 groups: push, pull, core and legs. The exercises we work on progressing through are:
    Dips (push)
    Rows / Tucked Front Lever (pull)
    L-Sit (core)
    Assisted Pistol Squats
    I hope the video is helpful for all of you who have rings and aren't sure where to start. Happy training, and don't forget to subscribe to learn more!

    Negative dips like that for beginners can easily lead to bad muscle/pec strains, which I have experienced before, and takes a long time to heal. I might suggest using the legs as assisted support for the whole range of motion, and increase very gradually, eventually working up to negative dips.

    • @1337b3nnyvav00m
      @1337b3nnyvav00m Рік тому +4

      You can do a bent leg assisted dip, and a straight leg assisted dip before you can do good negatives. I agree!

    I love rings bought them 2 months ago. Can alredy do 3 muscle ups😃 and gained a lot of grip strenght.I would say the single best exercise tool for upper body that was ever made so simple yet so complex. The rings move freely in space so you have to stabilize them so you get a lot of body control and awareness and also you can alternate grips midway...or lower them to the floor and do push up variations or put your legs in them for abs legs lower back... I am very new to this calisthenics stuff but got hooked in this two months. Just found your channel and i love it, haven't watched all your videos yet. Just watched the handstand one and i am gonna learn them😤 Also i love that you are plant based, i went plant based 3years ago and i am better than i've ever been. Gone through a lot of injuries and a lot of shit in my personal life so it feels good to finally be on the right path at the start of my thirties. Stay motivated and keep getting stronger and keep on progresing 🌱🌿💪

    If you cross the rings with body weight pulls, you are also pulling across the body. This makes it the single best exercise for archery which uses muscles not utilized in most other activities. This and practicing proper bow drawing technique has increased my draw weight significantly.

    Thank you for this. I have a new set of rings that I'm ready to put to use.
