Gymnastic rings have seen a huge surge in popularity with the rise of crossfit. And rightfully so, no other piece of upper body equipment can compare with the capabilities or low cost of the rings. They are easily one of the greatest strength building tools any mover could hope to stumble across.
One of there major benefits is the powerful adaptation for stability they create. Even the most basic movements on the gymnastic rings require considerable stabilization and strength. Even strong athletes begin shaking uncontrollably the first time they use this piece of Olympic history due to lack of body control and stability.
This type of training is also a wonderful way to develop a feeling sense of one's own body due to the high need for internal control of the body. Without developing this kind of internal awareness, rings can quickly degrade the tendons, ligaments and muscles of the body, most especially the shoulders. It is because of this that ring training should be undertaken mindfully and slowly in the beginning. It takes time for the ligaments and tendons of the body to strengthen properly for this kind tense movement.
When first beginning rings training it is advisable to start slow by experimenting with the basic static hold and rows before moving on. The training can be added to an already existing workout schedule or it can be a calisthenic strength training system all to itself. In the beginning however, most athletes need only a day or two of training. Down the line as the body begins to adapt to the needs of the rings, training days can be added.
There are two main kinds of exercises the rings are capable of, static holds and movements. Usually I will mix these together into the same set. For example I might do 10 pullups and finish with a static l-sit, or I may just do a static l sit the entire time I do pullups.
If you find yourself wanting in person rings training, my best advice is to find an adult gymnastics class at a local gymnastics gym, or take a foundations class at your local crossfit studio. Crossfit is notorious for teaching a kipping version of certain rings maneuvers, however that should change now that strict muscle ups are being added to the crossfit games.

What the hell - how isn’t this channel more popular? What an amazing way to explain exercises. 10/10
Right!
This guy is the man! He was teaching me boxing, dude knows his shit!
David! Thanks for the kind words my friend. Hope all is well for you
The drawings are beautiful and the information is so well structured! Glad I stumbled across this gem
I fucking love the rings they're so good for building strength and hitting all those tiny muscles if you could only get one piece of equipment for a home gym id deff just get a pair of rings they're so versatile
Holy fuck. The way you explain and draw things is so original. Definitely subbing and waiting for more
I think the rings are slept on when it comes to a lower body training aperatus. Assisted pistol squats and foot in ring split squats are awesome for stability and addressing instabilities and compensation.
I just have bought a pair of rings and... boy. I am quite a fit 31 year old guy and thefirst workout left me trumbling and in muscle pain for almost three days. It challenged me beyond any expectations. I Loved it. Great video!
Love that you are using female figures too to portrait the explanation.
Outstanding. Out stand rings...
Man, this is probably the most informative video around. I wish millions would have seen it by now! Great work man!
Agreed!
It's very good you stumbled upon the idea of talking about exercises while digitally drawing. It's common on channels about books, ideas, especially math, but I would've never thought about gymnastics. A refreshing change from seeing real people record themselves doing things. The only limitation is when you have to draw movements, but it's not too bad.
Really appreciate the effort you've put in this video
All I can say, that is the Best explanation of Rins. Thanks you so much...
This is just amazing I love the style of drawing and chatting it really gets the information across in a nice way rather than just having infographics and pop up thanks again
Great informative video man. Can tell you put a lot into this. Post more frequently !
Hey Greg...as great as your's!!!
Nice lessons. Watch you drawing is super satisfying
Great video! As an artist im always striving to be a better, stronger, more versatile human. Helps with my understanding of my art....somehow. balance. Stay focused out there guys!
I recently learnt planche on rings.I can say it's 10 times harder
Man! Respect for ya 🔥
wow that's great! any routine/tips you can give me ? thanks :-)
@@tmac2368 Work on increasing lat/scapula strength and hypertrophy since they work as stabilizers for the planche, use box or bar Maltese raise to practice the mechanics of the movement in a greater range of motion, and if you're doing the rto variation work on tucked leg progressions, or use resistance bands with the complete hold decreasing the band support (lowering band resistance) until you're able to perform the movement.
I would just show off to a comment like this, but this gymnastics stuff is just admirable in any sense it show too much discipline and that is beyond anything a respectable thing
Great insight to ring work. I bought my first set recently and I look forward to mastering these exercises
This is one of the best fitness videos i have ever seen, thank you so much.
Man this channel should be bigger. Such great information and extremely in depth. I would love if you made a video with more exercises for the rings.
Nice. I like your videos. Good to visualize the movements.
What an excellent introduction.. Great work!
Very nice introduction to the rings! Nice video structure, fitting background music and nice art style!
Wow your illustrations are fantastic
The best video About rings, Ever
I will try the static hold and the rows today in the gym, your video was really inspiring
Clear & concise!! Awesomeness 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it, this was an old one from near the beginning of the channel. It was the first one I had to really jump up in views.
Amazing edit this was fun to watch and very informative
One of the best information presentation ever made. Amazing work!
i am astounded at how engaging you present the information and how well you draw physical proportions omg!
I am loving your videos. The depth of knowledge and attention to detail is amazing. Glad I found your channel, they are truly life changing, for me at least. Have an an amazing day.
Got yourself a sub.... 👏 👏 this was well done throughout... I'm 34 yrs with only 2 weeks onto ring training and man I do love it
Great video! Rings 101, everything what you need to know!🔥
This is the perfect explanation, why you should train on rings. Thank you very much for this video. :)
Gorgeous presentation and great content !!! Thanks
Great content, as always!
I really really like your videos and your style (both artistic and educational). It delivers honest and high quality information in a pretty direct manner.
Thank you for taking the time for doing this!
Thank you for your kind words my friend.! I'm glad to hear you feel these videos are enjoyable, they are a labor of love.
ShapeShifters Den Your channel is one I usually look forward to see new posts. I don't know how busy you are or how many videos you have planned ahead, but I'd like to ask for one. Do you have any thoughts you could share with us on strengthening of ligaments, tendon and other structures to toughen up and weaponize the body? (Make it more resilient?)
You already touched upon tendon strengthening compared to muscle, the importance of stabiliser muscle, kinetic linking and so many other nice subjects. Perhaps you could go specifically on bulletproofing?
Cheers!
@@moversodyssey can you give me all gymnastics ring exercises I’m inspired by you’re video ❤.
Excellent presentation
Thanks.
Also using chalk helps a lot! I've been training with rings for a few months but would always slip out of the false grip position but by using chalk it is super easy to hold and it even feels normal.
I'm going to try that out. I don't slip out but I tear open plenty of callouses. Thanks for the tip Gleb! Feel free to share them here anytime.
Gleb Krasnoborov
What kind of rings are you using? I'm guessing plastic or metal - go with wood rings, they're less prone to slippage.
These videos are amazing.
Very informative. I'll be checking out more of your vids.
This video is golden best one ive seen so far!
Damn, the effort put into this!
Right?! Wish everyone sees it!
Fantastic class! Just got my rings!
Wow a bunch of skills are needed into making this vid, drawing, knowing the rings, video editing, etc. Drawing is interesting skill to have, can tell anything with it. Especially with good drawing skill like that, can take any form just from the mind and start drawing the result.
Yes, it is really impressive
*I didn't expect such a perfect video* 😲🔥
Your art style is amazing!
Your videos are very educational and informative, they're easy to apply, thanks
you are a godsend, these are so informative and concise
i've been looking to get some of these rings and glad i came across this before i did
thanks for the video!
Glad it helped out! Thank you for the comment!
Great vid, tons of info, great visuals, thanks a million👍
MAN GREAT DRAWING PLZ MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO DRAW LIKE THAT
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!
I love your content and think you deserve way more attention than you already have. Try sharing your videos on Reddit, forums and everywhere you can. also this art style would fit nicely on insta gram and Pinterest so try developing your channel there Too.
Thanks for the advice! I must admit I'm not very social media savvy. Its about time I remedy that. Lol
I've seen a channel explode from 50 to 1000+ subs just because of being shared to a reddit community. You should post a thread to a large subreddit (367k subscribers) called "bodyweightfitness". I have written a guide to understanding professional ring competitions, and it got a lot of positive feedback there.
Thanks for the advice, I will check that out. I'm still catching up with the social media world. Lol
And it is posted on bodyweightfitness on reddit. Thank you my friend
ShapeShifters Den No problem, I see the BWF already loves this!
wow just found your channel and this is amazing
Love the artwork and explanations in this video. Very inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
I love the animation
I've seen multiple videos about the 101 of gymnastic ring. They are not bad.. Some even good, but I like it the best!! In only one video, I can feel that I get a lot smarter! Hahahaha.. No exaggerating, but your explanation is very clear and easy to understand. Can't wait for the next video, pal
Wow this is top tier content, you deserve way more views and subs. You should do this with every topic😂
awesome explanation of the basics
Great drawings man!
Great information

Great video, super drawing. I wish I could draw like this. The success is within the details..
Thank you fundamentals are the cornerstone of all training again thanks
OMG I love your drawings.

your forearms will get fuckin humongous

Wood rings are way better for me. They have better grip. Great video by the way. Can't wait to work on my false grip pull ups

Pls a video about knee strengthening
I think this just inspired me to actually go and get rings finally. Thank you so much!
Thats awesome!, take it slow at first to give the tendons and ligaments some time to adjust. But besides that, just have a blast my friend ;)
Tricon
Did you end up getting some rings? How are they working out for you?
Thanks man. Nicely done.
Great video
Great video. Great info. Great drawing talent.
If I just want to be good with rings, you think I need to focus just in rings foundamentals, or still doing basics with bars, I can do 12 pull ups with a bar (no hollow body) 6 pulls ups with rings, hollow body, and none with hollow and falsegrip. I really dont care about bars, but I dont know if the strenght Is really transferible, positions aré so different so I think doesnt
The rings can be really hard on the body if it's all your doing, at least until your strength levels get to the advanced stages. You would still need to do calisthenic exercise off the rings as support work (maybe 3 times a week) and do the rings as high intensity sets less often ( maybe twice a week right after the warm up but before the support work). The straight bar is useful for this, however it's not considered the main support tool of the rings. Male gymnasts use the rings more than anyone and build up to it mostly through parallel bar and parallette work. Parallel bars are hard to find outside of gymnastic gyms, however parallettes and dip bars work well. Especially along side a pull up bar with parallel grips for parallel grip pull ups. I have a video on parallettes on this channel you can check out if your interested. Hope this helps, best of luck my friend.
@@moversodyssey thanks!!!
I started working out with my new gymnastic rings and today by the end of my session I felt something pricking my hand and it was a small splinter that lifted from the wooden ring.
Those rings look and feel high quality, they are silky smooth!
But this bummed me out a bit because the rings are brand new, I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I am using them.
Just wanted to know if this is normal, with time it will keep developing splinters?
What is the best solution, just sand it down? Then varnish?
I wanna treat the wood because it comes "raw". I think I will apply a wood sealant, then a matte varnish coating.
If that does not solve the problem in the long term, I will just wrap the rings using duct tape.
Thanks allot for the effort here
Nice video, Thanks!
Awesome video! Someone have any workout program recomendation for beginners, please? I want to start in gymnastic rings but i have some shoulders problems (past injuries) so i am looking for a guidence at least at the beginning to build up some foundations. I appreciate the help!
He made a video for that!
Excelent Job! Thank you!!
