DeFrancosGym.com - Gymnastic Ring push-ups

The 12:00 crew finishes their upper body workout with 30-second sets of gymnastic ring push-ups. This is an INCREDIBLE exercise for improving shoulder stability, rotator cuff strength and true core stability!!
The added bonus is the SICK PUMP it creates as well...


And YES, we listen to Techno music at the end of our Saturday workouts!!

love how that 1 asshole just completely disregards the "lock em out" command lol

[themeaningoflife38]

@hornetzdl19 LOL yeah he didnt lock out 1 time ha ha

I just don't understand the benefit of doing these for ARAP for time. Won't help you get bigger or stronger and will probably jack your cortisol levels and break muscle down.

You mean the Rob Cordry/Dana White looking feller? Isn't it funny how there is *always* one of those guys in any football crew?

In any case, does anyone know where to get rings that don't cost $50 or  how to hack some? Tx.

What is that song its driving me nuts not knowing what it is :p

Constructive criticism...

The exercise is MUCH easier from a stability point of view when not locking out as the lever length remains short.

A way to ensure athletes follow through with their reps is to count the reps (or give them "no rep" if they don't extend). The purpose of the exercise should also be clearly explained so they understand WHY they are going to full extension.

Enforce your standards coach!

Joe: Great exercise, balance training and ballistic action! Is the other dude locking out the push-ups too far? Can't he hyperextend his elbows? You are doing 3/4 extensions, which I like too. The last 25% is the easiest part of the pushup anyway and a waste of time. Burn baby burn!! How many reps and sets do you do?

Its actually better for the shoulder and elbow joints to not lockout as the pressure is constantly on the muscles.
