Ring Arm Curl
The lean-back bodyweight curl on gymnastic rings: curl the body up until the hands reach the head; the free-hanging rings let the wrists turn as they need.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the rings' anchor, a ring in each hand, arms straight, palms up, body leaning back in one line from the heels.
Steps
- Curl the rings toward the forehead, elbows up at shoulder height.
- Keep the rings from drifting apart as the body rises.
- Lower slowly until the arms are straight.
Common mistakes
Elbows dropping into a row: they stay up and point at the rings. Rings swinging wide at the top: hold them in line with the shoulders. Hips sagging: squeeze the glutes, one line from heels to head.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
