Pseudo-Maltese Training on Gymnastic Rings

[Wangtang6911]

Holy shit, are those rings made out of steel hahaha?!

[beratio]

Nice static hold on the maltese ! :)

[shisaman]

does it still work. if you have bent arms.

[rishibasss]

straighten your arms.. everybody can do it you way!

[southoreast]

Are you sure about that dude?

[jukcoder]

@rishibasss

easy! Very easy when said

Thanks for your article and instruction on reverse muscle-ups. After reading your Jack Arnow interview I became interested in this unique skill but I couldn't find a video on it. While your pictures were helpful along with another guy on Youtube who did a sort of half reverse muscle up, I couldn't find a top to bottom video representation of this skill. So with you and Jacks help, I made my own. Thanks again from your Newark NJ bar brother.

you make it look too easy.....thanks...beastskills rocks!!

[anway1800]

ya really do need to straighten your arms

[BeastSkills]

Thanks Bart Conner. That's why I labeled it a pseudo-maltese.

@BeastSkills I actually have read and heard from a former gymnast that doing these type exercises with bent arms really stunts one's progress. So I think it might be better to keep straight arms and do whatever it takes with the bent legs or doing a tuck planche in order to make it easy enough to actually work the muscles that are needed for this exercise. Then again, I'm just an aspiring part-time gymnast trainee with minimal formal coaching.

[BeastSkills]

@Daltonator87 Thanks for the advice! I can see how that would be more specific, and possibly more useful for training this skill.

straiten your arms out

[AndrewHMeador]

Thanks for the vid Jim!

[PeakConditionNate]

Great skill and Good music in the background lol

[ArgosFitness]

I have got little more to say. But that this exercise is once again extremely cool. Thanks.

[SebastienGames]

Good skill !! How about a tutorial ??

[meckerschorsch]

Nice gotta try that

[holtawolta]

itd be nice if you made a tutorial for the planche

[Sameronei]

yes a planche tutorial!!! coach sommers isnt the right one for me!

[Valorousness]

That looks more like a progression for a bent arm straight body press.

[rambo5551]

Damn man, you are close to a real Maltese. Ultra Beastly for a man not even in gymnastics.

[Hivoyer]

yeah Jim's actualy stronger than gymnasts in many areas,especialy the one arm pulling and maby the legs,i remember he did pistol squats with heavy weights.

[dao01]

you should make some video tutorials

[PeaSoup174]

your a beast

[Silent13Assassin]

nice, will this help me with my planche?

[BeastSkills]

It definitely will.

[Silent13Assassin]

thanks, I love your work

[iwonbigbro]

Have you got a tutorial for this or the planche? I read your tutorial on rollouts and the bit about hip position really helped my back with the rollouts.

[BeastSkills]

No tutorial for this. I recommend trying dips on the rings with your hands turned out (the position they are in the video), as well as trying to hold this pseudo-maltese position with your legs extended further and further out.
