How to Do Ring Dip
Ring Dip Muscles Worked: Chest
Form
- 1. Slowly lower your body while bending your elbows.
- 2. Control your movement so that your shoulders go down to about elbow height.
- 3. Adjust your range to avoid dropping too deep towards the floor.
- 4. Engage your chest and arms, and slowly return to the starting position by straightening your arms.
- 5. Hold the raised position for a moment while maintaining tension in your core and shoulders.
Coach's Tips
- 1. Don't push yourself to go too low so that your shoulders don't roll in too deeply.
- 2. If the ring shakes a lot, practice in a shorter range first to build core and shoulder stability.
- 3. Beginners should receive assistance or start at a lower height and gradually increase the difficulty.
- 4. If you feel pain in your shoulders or elbows, stop the movement immediately and reassess your posture.

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.
