Gymnastic Ring Pull-Ups / Pullups
How to Do Gymnastic Ring Pull-Ups / Pullups
- Stand directly beneath the Gymnastic Rings ensuring that they have enough height for you to lower your body without touching the ground.
- Grip the rings so that your palms are facing inward.
- Pull your chest upwards and towards the rings by bending your arms. Aim to avoid any jerking movements as this may cause the rings to swing.
- Once your chest is at its highest point, hold this position for one second before steadily lowering your body back down to the starting position.
