GymnasticBodies.com - Swinging Dips to 45 Degrees

Dips are essential for building gymnastics strength and swinging dips are one of the staple variations that I use with my athletes. An article detailing performance guidelines and progressions for swinging dips is available through the link below:

The Xtreme Rings which have been used to build much of this athlete's strength are available here:

depends on what kind of shape you're in now -- I'm training again after a 38 year hiatus and I've just added them to my regimen (after about six months of conditioning) and they are great. I first saw them used by Dick Wolfe, a fine gymnastics coach, back in 1967 (the Pleistocene era) at a clinic at UC Berkeley and all the guys on his team could do it to a handstand!

How long would it take to build up to this exercise starting from nothing?
