Ring Skin the Cat
Hanging from rings, tuck and turn backward through the arms until the shoulders open behind you, then return; a rep, not a hold.
How to do it
Setup
Rings low enough to put the feet down, hanging at arm's length.
Steps
- Tuck the knees and tip back between the arms.
- Lower the hips only as far as the shoulders allow.
- Reverse the path slowly back to the hang.
Common mistakes
Dropping into the bottom: lower slowly and stop early. Bent arms at the bottom: straight elbows let the shoulders stretch. Going on through shoulder pain: back off; strong, never sharp.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
