If you haven't already got it, it's just strength that's the problem here. You have to bend your arms past 90 degrees to be able to get vertical legs.

I suggest working on lifts on the floor or paralettes before the rings. off the top of my head that's what I would make sure i could do first (e.g. pike press/elephant lift on the floor) Doing this too often like in the video will strain your elbow tendons badly, which I hear is very painful.

Otherwise, good job man and keep it up :)

I'll take all the advice as I can. I'll work on the strength part. I have started using by feet to help me balance on the strap. Thanks

Very good start. I would build that support position (up on top of the rings, turn your thumbs out and press downward hard). Rings handstands require a lot of straight arm strength.

when ur going up into a handstand turn the rings parallel...you will balance easier and keep your head even with your shoulders...trust me it took me like a month to get a press on rings

Unless he already got it... try handstand holds using feet on the straps and (over the course of many weeks) use the feet less
