How to Ring Push Up

Ring Push Up muscles worked: Chest

Form

  1. 1. Bend your elbows and slowly lower your body so that your chest comes down between the rings.
  2. 2. Control the position of your hands to prevent the rings from spreading too wide.
  3. 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. 4. Maintain core strength throughout the movement to keep your body from swaying side to side.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. At first, set the ring height high to lower the difficulty and practice.
  2. 2. Since there is a lot of strain on the shoulders and wrists, stop immediately if you feel any pain.
  3. 3. If the ring shakes significantly, reduce the range of motion and prioritize stability first.

Form

  1. 1. Slowly lower the barbell until it touches below your chest.
  2. 2. At this time, your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. If the barbell does not touch your chest, please lower it as much as possible without overexerting yourself.
  2. 2. Be careful not to let your shoulders come forward of your chest, as this can put strain on your shoulders.
  3. 3. Please be careful not to let your hips come off the bench.
