How to Dips

Dips muscles worked: Chest

Form

  1. 1. Please slowly lower down while keeping your shoulders fixed down.
  2. 2. If you go down too much, you might injure your shoulders, so please gradually increase your range of motion.
  3. 3. Return to the starting position while engaging your core.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. If you are significantly overweight, it may put strain on your shoulders, so please substitute with other exercises.
  2. 2. Be careful not to go down too much, as it can injure your shoulders.

How to Ring Push Up

Ring Push Up muscles worked: Chest

Form

  1. 1. Bend your elbows and slowly lower your body so that your chest comes down between the rings.
  2. 2. Control the position of your hands to prevent the rings from spreading too wide.
  3. 3. Feel the tension in your chest muscles, pause, and then push your body back up to the starting position by extending your arms.
  4. 4. Maintain core strength throughout the movement to keep your body from swaying side to side.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. At first, set the ring height high to lower the difficulty and practice.
  2. 2. Since there is a lot of strain on the shoulders and wrists, stop immediately if you feel any pain.
  3. 3. If the ring shakes significantly, reduce the range of motion and prioritize stability first.
