This is how rings training is transforming my upper body strength. I did a 30 day test to see if training rings at home could help improve my upper body strength, and I was amazed at how gymnastics rings workouts increased my pullups, dips and pushups. I've really been enjoying calisthenics workouts and body weight exercises, and this was a good 30 challenge. Thanks for watching, and I hope you like it!
Have a great week guys! Cheers.
Rings changed my life. It's crazy how something so simple can yield so much gains
Tao I love your videos!!!
Big fan of yours, love your vids. Love your simplicity and practicality.
Ur videos r dope
After watching your channel .I instantly bought my rings
Oi muchaco my man
This guy is the Sisyphus of fitness. Always doing these arduous challenges only to lose all conditioning and strength and then do it all over again.
He's actually getting a lot better at maintaining his gains more recently... Everyone sucks when they swap out their training methods.
Idk man the fact that he was able to do a lot of the exercises in this video from the get-go shows that he has maintained a considerable amount of strength from his past routines. I agree, his maintenance could be better but it isn't terrible either.
@@saminatorx2325 the fact that he was able to do ring dips from the get-go shows that he probably already had some experience with rings before making this video so he's lying
@@mariopsota5806 not really. I was able to do some ring dips the first time after using only parallel bars for months. Granted it was only 5 but still.
Makes money doing it though. Must be nice I guess?
Impressive commitment, congrats
He always guinea pigs for us..... respect
The timing of this vid is quite insane, I received my rings last week xD
I'm now waiting for the things to screw in my ceiling so I can actually use them in my apartment.
Good Luck!
Same here. It's because your phone is listening to you (seriously)
Do the best job you can fixing that on your ceiling. Be safe.
This is by far one of the most underrated channels I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work!
Dude, yes! I switched to rings 3 months ago and it's a total game changer. Kudos to you on the challenge and getting the word out.
I really appreciate guys like you that document their progress. I’ve made a lot of improvements over the years and never recorded any of it. Props to you!
Their vids are so high quality and interesting. I've been following you guys for the past two or three years and always look forward to your next upload. You guys deserve so many more views and subs.
great video man! lots of strength to you!!
Keep going guys! Love your challenges
Amazing work like always, you keep me inspired bro keep up the good work.
Rings is a form of strength on its on.
The instability strength and coordination needed is crazy.
Mad respect ✊
I got my first set of rings a couple of months ago. Holy cow, hardest workouts I've ever done! I absolutely love using the rings, so much variety in exercises and so many different progressions too. Great video, thank you!
Thanks. Love working out on the rings as well!
Dope content and super polished as usual 👍👍👍
Great work as always!
Looking forward to your next ring muscle up challenge. Keep going!
This is so valuable, I'm about to embark on an 18 week program by
FitnessFAQs. I'm probably at your pre rings level of strength and you have shown perseverance I am going to need.
Cheers dude.
Awesome, as always
Such a cool workout idea. Love these videos
My buddy and I started rings 1 month ago and holy shit it’s hard asf! But we’ve been making crazy progress and it’s so motivating! Working our way to our first muscle up :)))
Good job, buddy! Keep it up!
Brutal progreso hermano
Great video! I have recently bought rings, and this video was an inspiration to pursue more training with the rings.
Happy holidays. Nice video
Love your videos!
nice vid dawg! it was informative and entertaining
Once again, A great video!!!!
Nice work man
You and Camron keep on going u may not have 10 mill subs but u put the work in every day witch is amazing keep on going I promise u ur 1 of the best yt iv ever watch
Thank you for posting!
Very inspirational! Great job. I will be buying rings for my pull-up bar. Thanks for the great video
Good job man, what an inspiration 👍👍👍
Great video !
I am loving my own early experience with the rings. It is so much fun, challenging and diverse. Love it!
Hey, never realized you guys were in east van. Calisthenics outdoors in vancouver in the winter can be tough because it's always raining!
just wanted to say that this guy didnt fake like many other do,its been a week since i bought rings and u helped me especially with the concept of not rushing with progress and leaving some reps in the tank . Received a sub brother .
Dude I started rings just a few months before you and hard initially they are so rewarding once you are able to perform exercises with proper form and many reps. Gatta keep going no matter what!
Ive had a set of Olympic rings for months and not used them. And because ive lost a lot of muscle mass due to running with no weight work. This is getting me motivated to get the rings out and have a go again. And with a bit of direction.
Definitely give them a go!
Love your positivity
great work mate, ill like to see a video when you work on skills on the rings like the muscle up, iron cross etc.....
nice vid man, ive subbed.
Speaking from experience i have managed to achieve some muscle ups on rings (unfortunately cannot share due to it being recorded on an old phone) my method was weighted chinups and dips (on reg equipment), muscle up transition practice with a resistance band looped around the rings and under your butt essentially making a seat that boosts you up and then just straight bodyweight chins and dips on rings. took me about 4 months of solid practice, like 3-4 days per week. i just obeyed simple prog overload except for skillbased stuff. its a helluva feeling nailing one! and i managed to nail five.
Love this video so inspirational
Dope vid bro these are great tips just got my first set of rings
Waoh i just saw your channel pop up. Great content bro. Keep moving
We must be browsing the same type of videos, goal guys. Started rings a few weeks ago as well, and they're kind if eye opening
me too. My sister gifted me rings for my bday two weeks ago... and I'm dying on them
❤ u Brendon!!
Keep hustling & keep growing.
Any way Happy 🎄Christmas ❄ to everyone
☺
Merry Christmas!
I JUST came back from a ring workout thinking I should do this at least once a week and then I see the title of your video - the universe wants it!
The universe demands it! good luck!
excuse me, how often is best for one week? 2 times per week?
Heck yeah, I love my rings! My favourite exercise equipment by far. Thanks for making this video, I am sure it has inspired many people to give rings a try.
One small nitpick at 7:38 - you're trying to warm up your rotator cuffs in an outward motion, but the pull is downwards (gravity), which is counterproductive. Anchor a resistance band on a vertical pole, and pull at it instead :D
Very cool. A great introduction to the world of rings!
Nice job you've convinced me to buy rings for my garage gym will hang on rack. I like idea of beneath row to warm up for back too and bicep curls too.
Yes ring muscle up please!!! I'm learning it with you and the move seems to hurt my outer elbow. Hope that I'll figure out how to do it before you do haha
He did again. Really inspiring to us 👍👍👍
Good Man! it is all about the "stick em at it".
Great vid from a guy that is actually struggling ring exercises like me!
been messing with rings for months, never really knew this. very cool!!!
looking forward to the ring muscle up vid
I'm might try working out with rings after watching this! You seems like such a nice person btw
Damn those bruises. That's commitment. Since i train mostly outside i have always towel with on, bc of wet bars. So imma used to wrap it twice around my forearm so it don't hurts. Big up
Awesome! Just watch out when you're doing the dips. It's easy to drop too far down and "rest" on the shoulders. Don't use full shoulder mobility but instead stop one or two inches to avoid shoulder strain/injuries. You're doing good for only a month of training!
I wish i had read ur comment earlier 😂 I went too far down
Sadly, I can confirm this from my experience - the same ligament on both shoulders is always inflamed for a few days after doing 'proper' range of motion dips. I know that people say you should do full range of motion, but what they omit telling you is to do full SAFE range of motion.
@@r.w.d.2532 Nooo! It shouldn't be too bad if you have not done it repetitively. Just be careful from now on :))
@@Bezimienny11 Yes. Usually you do want to do a full range of motion on most exercises. However, the definition of a full range of motion is different for the individual and the exercise. Safety is number one priority!
@@MTTR01 2 years ago after doing 4x14 dips then 3x12 push-ups with rings my right front shoulder muscle snapped... Stay SAFE guys!
This is legit i got my rings recently and im loving them im going to get super strong 🤙
You have a wonderful channel
This was Great. And you look great!!
This video rocks. My favorite one you guys have done since swimming.
I can't wait til you do a ring muscleup such a big calisthenic milestone that many never touch. Good form as video progressed btw🚀 try to keep the ring straps closer to your shoulders it will help tremendously
Thanks. Be sure to check back in a week ;)
Uhh, nope it's not a huge calisthenics milestone. Muscle ups are easy, even for heavyweight athletes like Kali muscle he can do 20+reps of that as a warm up. Planche, Maltese or iron crosses would be a huge milestone for Calisthenics athletes. Now that's true beastly strength right there
Would love to see a 3, 6 or even 12 month rings progress if he sticks to training for that long
yeah i would love to see long term gains
I got rings a week or so ago.
I haven't even set them up yet. God damn you're actually productive
It's yr videography progression for me 😎♥️
u looking good man keep it up
I absolutely love your perseverense and commitment, that's so great dude congratulations 💕
Here is a tip if you still need it. When I got enough strength it still took me weeks to figure out the muscle up on rings. The one golden moment is when I tried the muscle up in an L sit. It's way easier. So try it in L sit if you can!
i really wanted to comment badly on your shoulder situation, and I'm glad you got a trainer who helped you with that! Pleeeease focus 150% on activating your shoulders and lats in most push and pull exercises! Rep quality > quantity. Keep it up!
Good Job man ! I would bring it back to fundamentals on ring before i take it any further . Ur form is suffering .
Scapular control and locking elbow / turning elbow pit to the outside is necessary if u want to progress any further.
Train top support holds ( in good form )
Include some inversion as well
Cool video kongrats
Man I’ve loved watching your vids since that 4 min mile vid im a sprinter and I’d love to see you try n run 11-12 sec hundred
For anyone wondering if they should/shouldn't buy the rings..buy them,they're definitely worth it,especially now during winter when you cant use bars because they're too cold.
I've bought them about few months ago,and in just a few months of training i saw so much more improvement than working out 2 years on bars - especially since i can train rear,middle and front delts,can target each part of pecs,can actually progress in one arm pull up by lowering one ring so it makes the other hand work more,and can also quite more easily isolate biceps and triceps,and many many other things...
There are no negatives about the rings since i bought them,if you use them smart.
Not skipping the adds to support this channels commitment to all their challenges!
Haha, thanks. All of it helps :)
Great video. I would say you definitely look more "cut" than you were a year ago. I am on a similar journey my friend. I'm down 15 Kilograms and am about to break that magical 10 pull up barrier. (I stared way to late... I'm 54)
Better late than never! All the best on your fitness journey my friend
Congratulations! Great improvement. Two things: doing push-ups after dips must have skewed your results; the low ceiling was really bugging me when you were indoors.
I would like to see a video of all the challenges that did not take off the encourage others in what you did so others know what to do if they try it or if they should avoid it. Thanks
looking strong in that thumbnail 😳
I tried it and it was something new and very difficult but in the end awesome!
Great video!! Where can we get those rings?
Nice video :)
Greets from Hamburg/Germany
Greets to you too!
You made some great progress during this process!💪🏽
Love my rings. One of the best things a person should get for themselves.
I got a Rogue Mil Pullup station, and some Gornation rings, parallettes, dip belt, bands, and an extra set of Rogue rings (because the Gornation rings were preorders. Excellent little station with which to torture myself.
Respect on taking on the rings. You just need to keep working on your form down the line or else you're going to hurt yourself. I'd actually recommend working more on your static holds and ring rows - the annoying thing with rings is that the learning curve is very steep. It appears what you're still packing is that rock solid scapular and rotator strength
training on rings doubled my strength in 1 month
Calisthenics, rings, and basic body weight exercises have completely changed my workout life. And I think what this person talks about at 9:25 is the reason why. He talks about clean reps. I notice in the calisthenics world people are always talking about good clean reps. Ex. pull ups from a dead hang at a slow tempo, not ego pull ups from half way down and frantically fast, dips where you drop all the way down, not just half way. And this goes for squats too. They should be a55 to the grass.
training with rings is the way to go!
Gym was closed, bought some rings and loop bands, best thing I ever did, wont be going back to the gym, muscles have no idea if the resistance is coming from iron or bands or body weights
True and rings work your internal muscles such as rotator cuff constantly, as well as other stabilizer muscles that get neglected with gym. I dislocated my shoulder in the gym, bought rings, never dislocated it again!
Where did you purchase your rings?
@@musicnow6645 Amazon, but you can also check out Rogue fitness
Rings are amazing. You can row, pushup, and rear delt row every day, and explode in size and strength.
Well done. Very impressive.
If you stop progressing with your calisthenics, add some weight on a belt, reduce your rep count, and start growing again.
When you get back to the same rep count you had when you started, add more weight...repeat.
Do some Russian kettlebell swings or Dead Lifts to link all of your power together. You are doing great.
A wise man once said that rings will humble any man
Thank you for the likes, this is the most I've had. Have a good day!!

@@brendanmcgahan645 I have no idea but I just wanted to give someone credit instead of acting like I made the actual comment
@@m2t300 sick name btw mate
@@brendanmcgahan645 thanks man your name is cooler
@digitalXmage it is a joke kind sir.
Keep reaching for your goals! You will but if you're still alive keep going!
like a ring workout video series would be dope
Aiming to do some more ring challenges going forward!
Great video....are you working on the follow up video you mentioned at the end?
Still working away at it!
Vancouver represent!
I find that training the whole body on rings one day at of two is getting me more progress on big movements than seperating body muscles
Very surprised you can only do 8 pull-ups? this comes pretty quickly usually. I use rings too since it's the winter and you're right it's a lot harder, it halves what you can usually do somehow. very humbling yet quite riveting!!!
