Ring Push-Up

Push-up with the hands on rings; the rings wander, so the chest and the trunk pay for every wobble.

How to do it

Setup

Rings just above the floor, hands gripping, plank line set.

Steps

  1. Lower the chest between the rings.
  2. Keep them from wandering with a braced chest and trunk.
  3. Press up and steady the top.

Common mistakes

Rings sliding out at the bottom: squeeze them inward the whole rep. Rushing: wobble punishes speed. Turning the rings out at the top before owning parallel: progressions in order.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale pressing.
