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.
