@GoldMedalBodiesVids well this is from personal experience too...when i use the rings for stuff like pull ups, dips, push ups, and rows I'm good...but when I'm training for isometric holds like Iron cross, front, and back levers there's pain in my shoulder area.
@1cePikachu I gotcha. What @jordanswallesfitness wrote is on the money. Also, levers and iron crosses require a lot of connective tissue strength that is very difficult to develop. We'll release a program covering these movements later this year, but it's definitely a long-term play unless you have a gymnastic background.
@1cePikachu i wanna say your shoulder pain is actually the rotator cuff beneath the deltoids, ive had pain there too, but if you condition those muscles outside of your rings training, you should be fine, just a suggestion
@1cePikachu You probably won't train at an elite gymnastics level or in the same way. There is a difference between doing levers on the rings and the type of training they perform. These are slow controlled movements. If you watch gymnastics they work with momentum and speed, jumping between bars with immense power. This can have an impact on your body, however doing levers, muscle ups and other CONTROLLED calisthenic movements is usually fine. Good luck with whatever you choose!
im a beginner do you have any exercises to recommend? something to start building from?....i want to start but i dot know any workout routines toher than pushups, pullups,dips..
If you're too cheap to get rings- a door frame pull up bar with some cargo straps does the job fine for most stuff (can't do iron cross or other stuff with arms out to the side, but it's great for muscle ups, dips, ring planche etc (and if you get to ring planche level... you deserve some real ones!)
What Ryan says is true, BUT.... because rings are considerably harder, more focus and patience is required if you decide to start off with rings, as you are learning 2 things at the same time: to do the exercise itself and to balance out the wobble of the rings. Besides, if you want to do handstands on rings, then it's definitely a good idea to practice them on stable surface first. Handstands on rings mean faceplants galore even if your stable surface handstand is very easy and stable.
@gnostie True! Handstands are hard enough, so we recommend practicing them on the ground first. Before getting to that point on rings, you have to do a lot of work on the basic support positions and building the core and shoulder strength just to hold yourself up.
And faceplanting. Faceplanting is a part of almost any gymnastic-style work. ;)
I have play rings at home and ever since i learned i could train with em' i have been outside constantly outside on em'!! It really has helped on my floor strength! thx! :)
I've been using rings for a while and I can do a tuck planche and a one leg front lever but I can't do a muscle up for the life of me! Plenty dips and pull ups but I can't get over at the top of the pull up, any tips man? BY the way, rings are the best fitness investment I've ever made! Basic movements are so much more beneficial on them as well, especially dips for strengthening the shoulder girdle
@comicbookhero1 We have a video on the muscle up too. YouTube won't let me post a link, but you can find it on the channel or in the suggestions on the right.
@comicbookhero1 have you been using a false grip? i didnt know what one was for my first couple months, then one day a friend showed it to me and i instantly started doing them easy
Agreed, trying to target my lower abs with simple leg lifts and maintaining stability and concentrating on form has turned it into a full body exercise... I'm a novice in this realm of fitness, so this is going to kick my ass for a few months, which I look foward too (:
Holyfuckingshit, A not quite press HS?! I must buy ten pairs of your rings and tell all my friends about your website. When can I take the cert?

Wanna use these rings, but I'm worried about my joints when I'm older. Don't these rings put a huge stress on your joints?

@1cePikachu Compared to what? Sitting around all day?
In short: no. It's ridiculous to assume that ring training puts more stress on your joints than any other form of training.

@TheAndyFossett So why do elite gymnast develop shoulder problems in their late 20's/ early 30's?
1cePikachu 1 month ago
@1cePikachu Most elite athletes have injuries. I'm sure that's not a problem you'll personally have to deal with.
