How to Ring Dip

Ring Dip muscles worked: Chest

Form

  1. 1. Slowly lower your body while bending your elbows.
  2. 2. Control your movement so that your shoulders go down to about elbow height.
  3. 3. Adjust your range to avoid dropping too deep towards the floor.
  4. 4. Engage your chest and arms, and slowly return to the starting position by straightening your arms.
  5. 5. Hold the raised position for a moment while maintaining tension in your core and shoulders.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. Don't push yourself to go too low so that your shoulders don't roll in too deeply.
  2. 2. If the ring shakes a lot, practice in a shorter range first to build core and shoulder stability.
  3. 3. Beginners should receive assistance or start at a lower height and gradually increase the difficulty.
  4. 4. If you feel pain in your shoulders or elbows, stop the movement immediately and reassess your posture.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. Engage your core to prevent your lower back from arching excessively.
