How to Do Ring Push Up
Ring Push Up Muscles Worked: Chest
Form
- 1. Bend your elbows and slowly lower your body so that your chest comes down between the rings.
- 2. Control the position of your hands to prevent the rings from spreading too wide.
- 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. Maintain core strength throughout the movement to keep your body from swaying side to side.
Coach's Tips
- 1. At first, set the ring height high to lower the difficulty and practice.
- 2. Since there is a lot of strain on the shoulders and wrists, stop immediately if you feel any pain.
- 3. If the ring shakes significantly, reduce the range of motion and prioritize stability first.
