How to do Ring Pull-ups - Adjust the height of the gym rings so that your feet will not touch the ground between repetitions. - Stand under the rings and grip with either an overhand (for the pull-up), or underhand (for the chin-up) hand position. - The free movement of the rings means that your grip does not have to be strictly one position or the other, and it may change throughout the exercise. - Keep your arms straight and simply dead hang from the rings, keeping your body vertical. - Pull your chest up toward the gymnastic rings by bending your arms. - Keep the movement smooth, slow and controlled and try not to jerk any muscles as you pull-up. - Pause for a moment at the top of the exercise before you start slowly lowering yourself back down. - Once you are lowered back to the hanging position, pause, and repeat the exercise. Some tips: - Throughout the exercise keep your torso straight, legs together, and shoulders relaxed. - Minimise any rocking or swaying movements. - Practice the false grip pull-up to strengthen your wrists and prepare for the muscle-up.
