Gym Rings

A muscle-up is a pull-up immediately followed by a dip. It includes a difficult transition between the two that makes this exercise greater than the sum of its parts. Is it functional? You bet. The muscle-up is pure climbing for Tarzan strength. Can you imagine the king of the jungle training with lat pulldowns and tricep pushdowns? No way, leave the "toning and shaping" for Jane. The Muscle-Up is truly a hidden gem. You sometimes hear of them, but you rarely hear about people doing them. Why is this? First, the mainstream fitness crowd does not like to be challenged. The muscle-up requires patience and dedication to master. Second, they require rings (note: they can be performed on high bar, but it's a bit different and harder) and rings have not been a part of the mainstream training community since the early 1900's. Back then, gymnastics was not just for kids and professionals. In fact, the old training gyms of the past looked like gymnastics facilities with weights.

Historically, rings were a standard piece of equipment in gymnasiums before health clubs appealed to the masses, and over time, gym rings fell out of style among the general population. Today, however, athletes seeking to develop strength and power are migrating back to gymnastic rings because of their versatility and functionality.

Since rings can move in three dimensions, your body works extra hard to stabilize the rings as you move. Any miscalculation by one muscle group must be countered by the opposing muscle group to correct. Gymnastic rings build phenomenal coordination and muscular control. Since all the supporting muscles are engaged to keep the rings from swinging even the most basic movements have increased difficulty.

  1. Rings

    You can't go wrong with these rings. The handles have great grip which I love for ring dips, ring push-ups, pull-ups and muscle-ups. They adjust very easily!
