![How rings training is transforming my upper body strength - [30 Day Test]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U6uK_n46gvA/mqdefault.jpg)
I actually live in the middle of the desert, but great video brother.
Patric Farah haha
U can hang a trx on ur jeep
Crap, I live in tucson, arizona
Hhhhhhhh bro
Same lol
Pro Tip: You can use socks or hand towels to create the same twisting effect with the rings that you get with the TRX. (Just place them over the rings and use them as place holders; less grip but you get the desired effect).
Thanks
@@6Farf Absolutely. Get yourself some weightlifting chalk if you haven't already. It is my best friend.
The hand stand on the rings was absolutely insane! 🔥💪
I've tried both, definitely prefer rings.
With gyms currently closed due to Covid, rings set up in the garage are great.
MrPatrickRevuelta Any recommendations in choosing a pair ?
@@AG_HP7 just cheap ones off eBay or Amazon etc.
@@MrPatrickRevuelta Very bad advice. Get a decent pair of wooden rings so you don't slip on plastic or metal. Trust me.
@@EricJohnson-cp5jb no its actually good advice, got mine for 15$ off amazon, still have them 4 years later intact
with gimnastic ring you can train all your body with just 30 $.... what are we talking about?!? They're obviously the best...
Don't exaggerate. I focus on rings and also train sprinting but still think that you have to do bar squats and deadlift in order to train "whole body".
wojtekimbier You can do one legged squats/pistol squats. Those are a lot harder than weighted squats, and trust me, I have tried both. I can squat about 250 pounds but can barely do a pistol squat. It requires better balance, better joints, and a lot of time and patience to master. As for deadlifts, you really dont even need a barbell. With calisthenics, you could do that with a pull up bar UPSIDE DOWN and that would mean more stabilization, balance, and strength.
1) What you describe as upside-down deadlift is just a type of pullup. You think it will work your lower body? You need barbell deadlifts for that.
2) I can do 10 full pistol squats no problem. They don't build strength, just balance and flexibility. I squat 68kg. You need barbell squats to "train whole body", not just rings and bodyweight.
JWALNATION I squat twice my bodyweight (about 145 kg) and deadlift almost 3 times my bodyweight and I've been lifting for 1.5 years only and still a teenager. When I'm 25 I'll be able to do 1000 pistol squats everyday probably. Legs are just too strong for calisthenics. I don't see the NEED for a barbell though, lifting huge stones, logs etc will do the job but there's a reason calisthenics guys lack lower body strength.
I want to see you do some glute ham raises if you think leg calisthenics are too easy for you.
1.25" wooden rings - best $40 I ever spent on Amazon. I live in Hawaii and have them set up on the patio in the back yard. I have completely built a functional and aesthetic body on rings alone! Amazing!!
I feel that same. Best investment in my life. I'll be using them till I'm old :D
Yup used them today.
Rings and some heavy stones is all you need!
Could you tell me which rings you purchased? I'm looking for some now to start.
M Poly garage fit makes good ones, make sure to get some with numbers and good quality straps, good luck :D
Price, durability, functionality, rings are vastly superior, period.
TRX is a commercial gimmick.

@anonymusopina1 I don't believe you
@@itwasajokeimclean995 Rings are much more expensive than TRX.
@@Cowboy_Foradalei Not true. I bought perfectly fine rings from aliexpress and paid just $ 21,70 USD.

I dont see any reason for TRX. You can do exactly same exercises on rings, but on TRX you cant do even half of exercises which you can do on rings.
Rotatable handles are very convenient and that's the biggest improvement of TRX compared to rings in my opinion. But is it worth it to choose TRX over rings? Definitely no. I'd still go for the ring if I had to choose.
hey Pal! i've been watching your vids for a few weeks and really appreciate all the detail and effort you put into each vid. I am a beginner in cali training and just bought a set of rings. After just my first workout, I can definitely feel different parts of my muscles sore that I guess I never developed much.
Would you do a comparison vid of cali trainjng with rings and weight training. Thanks again from USA.
I'll add this topic to the list. Thanks!
the most important thing, you can practice trx in the hotel room (it is possible to fasten to the door) and the rings must be fixed at a height which is difficult to find``its easier to adapt when you travel
@@aaasss5416 one caribiner clip and you can use the same fixings as a trx. Rings for me.
one wise man once said..
"two ring to rule them all."
😁😁😁😁
I have both and they are both great. For older people or people with limited ability, the TRX is a great tool. Some people here assume only young people exercise and have to aspire to be advanced. Actually the world has millions of people with different abilities so there’s always room for the TRX. But at 40, I prefer rings but who knows, I may go back to the TRX in the future. Great video by the way.
🤡 I’m
@@zsynr1925 took you long enough to respond lol. A 🤡? You are certainly not!
Rings for sure. Many more exercises possible and simple is always best. It's easy enough to make a cradle for your feet with bits of climbing rope if you want to do TRX style crunches. I have metal rings that I use at home which are completely indestructible but a bit heavy and composite ones for travel which are light and will probably also last forever. TRX is way way too much money for limited functionality. Just my opinion.
Yeah, I agree 100%.
Agree as well.
Wow! Thanks for covering all the angles on both of them. Very thorough.
Great video as usual, very informative and you raised a few points I had never considered :)
This cleared up all my confusion and gave me an idea as to what I should get and even more TRX exorcises I can do too.
Rings for the win
Those intermediate and advanced ring exercises take some strength and coordination. Nice dedication
Great one man, really complete and well explained. Keep it up!
Neat trick. If you want rotating handles for your rings and have enough leftover rope from the straps you can just wrap them around the rings and they rotate. It makes curls a lot more comfortable
Excellent Video! Thanks for that!
Very good comparison video man !
Perfect video man! Thank you !!!
Great video! I have watched this many times :)
I'm using the rings but think about TRX - the ability to rotate the wrist is a good feature however it's not so much benefit:
- if I need some biceps curls variation I'm just removing the rings from straps and using any short rounded stick inserted into the both straps at the same time as barbell neck.
- removing rings from straps does also make straps using a comfortable for various exercises where the legs should be fixed there.
thanks for that. I have both and both are my favourite, it usually depends on how I'm feeling as to which one or both I use.
Just wanna thank you for your awesome content learned alot and I changed from weightlifting to calisthenics and I love it. Keep it up dude the subscribers will sure increase in the next month's!
Thank you :)
Brilliantly detailed review. Thank you sir! Hello from locked down London.
Very well explained! Thank youuuu
Thanks for this amazing explanation you answered all the questions in my mind👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
at first I am the fans of dumbbells and gym.
but due to the packed working schedule and I started to calisthenics.
you are one of my favorite youtuber, stay fit bro
Good honest evaluation.
Very helpful video, thanks and keep it up
awesome video! your channel is full with good and high quality videos, very informative and very usefull! keep going!
Thanks
Hi, I very like your videos. What I will tell has nothing to do with those two but as a beginner progressing to intermediate, I personally love working with bands over dumbell or similar. It gives ease at possible movement and lets you have a taste before you can imagine to do the full movement. They load progressively and very friendly to joints as well. 3 months beforehand I thougth they were only for women doing pilates at home but finding them very useful in streght training was an enlighning moment for me.
Great video, thanks. I have a TRX and will build strength with it first, then move to the rings down the road.
Very balanced / fair review! Thank-you...
Great video, thank you!
Really good video! Thanks
Great comparisob and crazy ring muscle ups bro. immaculate form
Just what I was looking for thx u
I paid around 75€ for the TRX system about 5 years ago and it’s still going strong. I never go to the gym now and take it with me when traveling. If I compare the costs of a gym it’s definitely paid for itself. No complaints but I can’t speak about rings because I’ve never used them.
Why not both? You can fashion your own TRX Handles with some tubular webbing and pvc and attach them to the bottom of your rings-just as compact, and gives you two tools from one.
For each handle, make 2 straps with the webbing-one long, and one short. Size depends on the user & how far down you want the TRX handles to be from your rings-experiment and figure out what works best for you. Pass one end of each strap through the piece of PVC, then tie each into it's own loop using a water knot. Pass the knots back into the pvc to hold them in place. Then, using the longer loop of webbing, secure it to your ring using a girth hitch.
I'm just crazy about your videos man ! Inspiring me really hard, you are my model... and overall you are looking like freaking Ragnar 😍 I'd love to see more gymnastics workout on your channel !
please continue for a long time
from a french viewer
Navi Yes it's very good and he speak slowly so for ppl who dont speak good english it's very good !!
Thank you very much my friend! Such words motivate me to do more and more :)
thought more about Bjorn throughout the video, but yea those exercises he showed and his executions are damn inspiring
perfect vid! thanks a lot
Now I know a little more! Thanks!
2:10 I just purchased the PEFXT "knock off" for $40 and they are very high quality. You can also suspend them independently like rings, or use the extension strap which creates a "Y" junction. When using the extension, they don't slide as seen around 1:08 and 4:54
We're moving house soon, and I'm thinking of using my soon to be larger gym space to add a suspension trainer to my current bare bones bike & dumbbells setup. I did a lot of TRX work with a previous personal trainer so will probably start with that, and add rings down the road. This was helpful!
no def buy ring, theyre vastly superior period, in every way, price durability functionality, trx is a commercial gimmick, trash
Great vid, thanks mate
Really useful, thanks!
Great comparison, thank you. I just purchased some rings.
Thanks for the effort on this video. Great stuff. I got myself some rings and was wondering if I should have considered the TRX as well. Rings way better! Cheers.
thank you so much for this video! as a beginner I always wondered what the differences in usability between trx and rings were, since they are at so drasticly different price points! I think I will go for the rings because they are cheaper and more versatile. plus they look way cooler!
Yeah, rings are my favourite too.
Very helpful , thank you
Nice piece.. decent.. useful.. precise explanation
Now that’s a genuinely interesting topic
Great video ! You just conviced me to get some rings :D
I have rings and after a quick search at my local hardware store I bought a pvc pipe and straps to improvise inexpensive trx handles that attach to the rings.:)
This is an excellent review. I greatly prefer the rings.
Rings.....for sure.....
Just starting with rings, finding your videos very useful. Rings are great, much more fun than pumping iron at the gym, and I love the fact that I can toss them in my backpack wherever I go.
Thanks to your channel, the 4 times a week I hit the gym it's 90% rings exercises. At first people looked funny at me, but after getting good at dips, they became rather impressed.
TRX's rubbery spinning grip is no match for the natural wooden deal. Live by the rings, die by the rings?!
Well said :)
I love rings i need to use them more but what i love about the rings is you can hit pretty much all the same muscle groups that weights do with nothing but 2 rings and 2 straps
wooohoo loved this. Thank you! Ring is for me :)
Great Job 👍
Awesome vid!!!
I think one aspect which was left out was the fact that the TRX can be set up for home usage but hiking it up to a door.
Check out Monkii Bars. They are a hybrid of the two.
Morshad Hossain you can buy door anchors , i saw a set at a fitness store, and hook up the rings or even just straps and pvc piping if you want make your own
Awesome video. I have a trx but looking into rings as I want to progress with bodyweight training. I will still keep using the trx for core exercises though but I feel the rings are less bulky and have less in the way of your arms when doing pushups etc when the straps are by your arms.
solid content!!!!
I made my own TRX set with pvc pipe, ski rope and carabiners for $15 and it supports my entire 200lb body. Although I would prefer rings
PartiZAn18 Nice dude!
Could you post something on how you built them? I have always been intrigued with the whole "improvise, adapt, overcome" and "make do or do without" concepts.
You need a handle that spins or it's garbage and you should just get rings. 250 bucks for a spinning handle and some straps....
Seriously you can get rings for like $15 on eBay lol
@@danquilty6580 it's a pvc pipe around rope, surely it spins by default
I have both, but I must say that u can do Muscleup's, Dips, and everything u do with the rings, furthermore, u can have more possibilities to find a place to support a TRX than for rings, for example, u can put it in a door, in a non-horizontal bar etc.
i love setting up my trx over the door, but nowhere in the apartment to set up the rings, so love the trx.
*Thanks a lot, this video is very interesting ! I already have a lowcost TRX, witch is very useful, but I'm thiking about buying gymnastic rings since I use these in crossfit and it make possible to muscle up...*
The Nossk Twin Pro system has built-in door hangers or stops that are very convenient. No extra piece to fiddle around with, connect and disconnect, carry, keep track of, go missing, etc.
And the flat grip doesn't force your hand into an unnatural curvature.
My trx straps are knock offs for about 30$ and I think they are better than the original, because they are two separate straps. No worries doing asymmetric exercises.
Please do more videos with rings like the top 10 exersises or common mistakes with rings! Keep it up
Ok, thanks for the suggestion :)
TrainingPal And I have one question: Can I hang my rings on a uneveven limb?
Bizarrely I was about to buy some TRX, but now I’m definitely going to get rings! 1.1 or 1.25???
This content is EXCELLENT...new UK subscriber 🇬🇧
Hola,desde neuquen argentina te veo, muy bueno, gracias
Love this video
I live in Brooklyn and go to blinks fitness and have been using the trx is really good
Another advantage of the rings is that you can use them on the ground without straps
You mean for push ups?
Better not if you want yours to stay in good condition. You can do pushups on other unstable objects, no reason at all to use rings.
TrainingPal yeah, like the ones Dominik sky does
tupac1971ful you out the rings on the floor and you have both extended range of motion and a very big instability element, which means great balance and forearm work
Do whichever, there's no practical difference. People pay too much attention to such tiny nuances.
It's very helpful
You can also just use the gymnastics rings straps without attaching the rings for suspended leg training. It would perform the exact same function as the TrX then.
Very interesting and informative. Is that you demonstrating the exercises? I have been doing TRX, but am considering buying a set of rings. Thanx for sharing. Joel
Suspension training is the best for the body to gain strength and take your body to the next level. and this depends on the comfort of who or how you want your goals with respect to the one you use (trx or rings). I have purchased both and they are excellent training tools.
I use both on my workouts but I think the rings are much better! Thank you for the info! 👍👌
I can do all execises with trx that the ring do it dips and back and front lever
ahmed kotb good for you!
The set of ring I have and most of the ones you will find have a measures on the strap so you can easily set the length to equal amount on both sides.
Measures on straps? That's a great idea, I've never seen it before.
Rawking ...Same got mine from eBay, nice function. Makes leveling way easier.
Good idea! I'm gonna get some paint and measuring tape and add this to my rings
where can u find
With some ingenuity you could devise a way to make the handle rotation on a suspension trainer optional, so you could use a false grip when desired - a lock-out option.
I can use rome rugs or clothes on the ring, and it suits my feet at any case when push up, or handstand pushup.
You missed on pointing out the advantage of being able to set up the TRX at home using the door strap attachment. Convenient when you're traveling or when it's cold outside and you don't want to spend money on a gym membership. Also there are advanced techniques using the TRX. Check out Dan Long's Suspension Revolution 2 program. It's intense with Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels
Yeah, I've seen this 'door adapter' for TRX, you're right. But I think you could do the same with the rings.
TrainingPal yes, I saw door anchors being sold at my local fitness store, just slip the ring strap through them, even cheaper is buy some pvc piping and slide them through the straps and you have door stops
You can do the same whit pull up bar too!
I've just bought a decent TRX in Decathlon in Bangkok for 15 $ :-)
I have both. The price is not an issue, since non-original TRX costs 15 euros, with the same quality (gym trainers' opinion, not only mine). Good, wooden rings cost 25-30 euros. But it is true what you say: TRX are more confortable, but I would NOT bet my ass hanging from them, while rings have this very function. I use the two tools in the sense you mention: TRX for grounded exercises, and rings for total body weight exercises.
My favorite out of these two. And many of us are surely Rings. They cost less and are built like a beast and functions like a monster. They are great for a full upper body workout.
I started trx with a personal trainer, but then I moved onto rings, and I can train my whole upper body which greatly contributed to my strenght, and helped a lot with slowly building lean muscle💪💪💪
Great video.
I like both for different reasons. I've got one of the newer TRXs and it adjusts very very quickly and it is also self leveling. Anything you can do with TRX you can do with rings - plus with rings you can do several more exercises. Don't like push ups with the TRX because the design makes the straps rub agains my body.
chafed forearms... that s why i want rings with ropes not the polymer stuff
I use a brand of strap called Domyos it is 10$ where I live and it is even better than TRX for that the strap is sawn in a different way and eliminates the problems. I am super happy with it. I bought it from a local store Decathlon.
Cool video!
ty very helpful still
The anchor point in my suspension system isn't high enough for me to use for push-ups (I end up pushing into strap) I have to just put my feet in them and do decline push ups instead.
Thank you
Sounds like the smart play would to start w/ TRX then if desired advance w/rings. One thing I noticed was TRX push ups and moves were feet are suspended are much more difficult than it looks. I'm good for 60-90 floor push-ups however I can only do about 8-10 TRX push ups. Those stabilizer and core muscles get taxed!!
I think that would be my plan..I bought a cheap 30 dollar set of custom straps very TRX like, and will eventually progress to the rings and combine it with yoga on off days.
I get why people.would not want to get ripped off with TRX, but nowadays there's plenty of very cheap suspension options that won't break the bank

Its the same thing with rings
Rings do everything that TRX does 🤷 seems people just pick whatever THEY prefer though.
@@nicandromartinezsotelo3300 the same for me. Got cheap trx like, and maybe in the future get rings
I have something similar to the TRX but without the connected grip, so I guess mine are the best of both worlds. They also only cost me 15$ and are pretty high quality.
I tried both, bought them and I prefer rings. TRX bands caused slight friction burns and pain to my wrist and the angle of the hand position is compromised. As an example, I found that pushups limits the angle of the wrist because of the pressure exerted by weight on the bands. However they are good for other exercises.
Both are great but disappointed how the aspect of strength imbalance wasn't mentioned with regards to TRX. If one side pushes/pulls harder it'll be uneven and it's great for correcting imbalances.
