- 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.
