Ring training

[Shaedar]

I don't have time to go to gym anymore, so I've got myself a pair of gymnastic rings. I know I can use them for pull/chin-ups, L-seats, dips, muscle-ups... and this would be it. I've been searching for some other exercises, but I can't find any.
If you know stuff to do with rings, please share the info, it'd be much appreciated.

If you can prop your feet up: pushups, triceps extensions, etc. Hook your feet in them: situps, back extensions. Just some ideas.

You could attempt to do an Iron Cross =p

[Shaedar]

Haha, yes I will attempt to do it and I already know the outcome :smile:

Front levers, back levers and the progression exercises that lead you there such as icecream makers. Handstands and yes try progressing to iron crosses, malteses and planches. The last three are very difficult skills but tutorials on them can easily be found on the internet so it's a start. Also many of these moves can be first attempted on the floor or a pullup bar as it'll be easier that way. Improvise a way to do hyperextensions/glute ham raises and buy yourself an ab wheel, that'll do your core well.

Edit: for further reference, google. Good luck.

aww man everyone already said what I wanted to!

I got some rings a couple of weeks ago and they are cool. I do Back and Front Lever stuff as shown on Beastkills. Plus normal stuff like weighted pull ups and dips, Leg raises.

There is a progression for Iron Crosses on The Performance Menu. Here (http://http://www.performancemenu.com/shorties/index.php?show=shorty&shortyID=32) it is!

The thing I find most frustrating about bodyweight exercises like the Levers, and especially Planches and Iron Crosses is measuring progress. In the past, I found counting seconds on Planche progressions very frustrating and I imagine it would be the same with Iron Cross

Great, thanks !

Here's a lot about ring training. Got Rings ? (http://www.drillsandskills.com/article/17)

victorian lol, straddle L, tuck, straddle or straight planche

Hooking feet might be awkward and painful, gravity boots would work better for most stuff, unless you were doing stuff like the splits with feet in rings.

It is surprising that you have discovered and subsequently obtained a set of gymnastic rings without being aware of at least one of these sites. www.gymnasticbodies.com , www.ringtraining.com , and www.powerathletesmag/wforum should have what you are looking for.

Guys, this thing is of the scale. Although I paid 70€ for a pair of wooden rings they are certainly worth it. You can't have so much anywhere else ! And it works every single muscle in your upper body all the time.
