How rings training is transforming my upper body strength - [30 Day Test] 

Rings changed my life. It's crazy how something so simple can yield so much gains

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.

Rings is a form of strength on its on. The instability strength and coordination needed is crazy. Mad 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.

Impressive commitment, congrats

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!!

Amazing work like always, you keep me inspired bro keep up the good work.

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 :)))

Keep going guys! Love your challenges

Looking forward to your next ring muscle up challenge. Keep going!

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!

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.

Dope content and super polished as usual 👍👍👍

Such a cool workout idea. Love these videos

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

Great work as always!

Great video! I have recently bought rings, and this video was an inspiration to pursue more training with the rings.

Awesome, as always

I am loving my own early experience with the rings. It is so much fun, challenging and diverse. Love it!

Very inspirational! Great job. I will be buying rings for my pull-up bar. Thanks for the great video

Good job, buddy! Keep it up!

nice vid dawg! it was informative and entertaining

Thank you for posting!

Once again, A great video!!!!

Happy holidays. Nice video

Good job man, what an inspiration 👍👍👍

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 .

Love your videos!

Brutal progreso hermano

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!

Waoh i just saw your channel pop up. Great content bro. Keep moving

Very cool. A great introduction to the world of rings!

Nice work man

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.

Hey, never realized you guys were in east van. Calisthenics outdoors in vancouver in the winter can be tough because it's always raining!

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

great work mate, ill like to see a video when you work on skills on the rings like the muscle up, iron cross etc.....

Dope vid bro these are great tips just got my first set of rings

❤ u Brendon!! Keep hustling & keep growing. Any way Happy 🎄Christmas ❄ to everyone ☺

Love your positivity

been messing with rings for months, never really knew this. very cool!!!

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!

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.

Great video !

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!

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

That false grip instruction is the best I’ve seen. Worth watching this video for that alone

I'm might try working out with rings after watching this! You seems like such a nice person btw

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

This is legit i got my rings recently and im loving them im going to get super strong 🤙

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

This was Great. And you look great!!

I got rings a week or so ago. I haven't even set them up yet. God damn you're actually productive

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!

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

Would love to see a 3, 6 or even 12 month rings progress if he sticks to training for that long

looking forward to the ring muscle up vid

This video rocks. My favorite one you guys have done since swimming.

When you're doing dips on the rings try to find a higher mounting point for the straps as now the angle of the straps is changing as your hands move a little in and out with each rep. Also look for swings as they are often much higher than any pullup bar, plus they are braced at about a 60 degree angle so its rock solid, unlike that flimsy squat rack thing you have outside at home. That is rather pointless as it's moving when you're moving. At home mount a bar to your ceiling (very securely using multiple mounting points...be very redundant!) using headless bolts that have a wood thread and a machine thread for anchoring the bar to or a large plate of thick plywood or steel. You want your mount spread out over as large an area as possible. Try to keep your legs straight, whether in your L-sit or normal vertical position. Again you'll need a higher mounting point for those straps. And spread the straps apart more when you're doing dips so the straps don't rub your forearms. It's a little harder but far more comfortable. So few people understand this. If you lose a little bit of fat you will see a huge increase in calisthenics performance. It's shocking how much easier things can be when we shed a few pounds. Try to work out before eating as well, after defecation so you're lighter. Everything helps. Say NO to breakfast, the most pointless meal of the day. Nothing but room temperature, purified water for a few hours is best. Zero caffeine. We don't need more stimulants in our life. You've got a good bone structure for this if you can get lean. You will be very surprised what you will be able to do in a while if you continue and don't give up. Calisthenics can be discouraging when you see roided out people doing impossible moves. Ignore them. Just focus on how good you feel after each workout and that will draw you back. Your video work is really good. Very easy to watch. No wonder you have half a million subs.

It's yr videography progression for me 😎♥️

You have a wonderful channel

I absolutely love your perseverense and commitment, that's so great dude congratulations 💕

u looking good man keep it up

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

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!

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!!

Love my rings. One of the best things a person should get for themselves.

looking strong in that thumbnail 😳

Not skipping the adds to support this channels commitment to all their challenges!

I tried it and it was something new and very difficult but in the end awesome!

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!

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.

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)

Keep reaching for your goals! You will but if you're still alive keep going!

You made some great progress during this process!💪🏽

Nice video :) Greets from Hamburg/Germany

training on rings doubled my strength in 1 month

Rings are amazing. You can row, pushup, and rear delt row every day, and explode in size and strength.

training with rings is the way to go!

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.

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.

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

*Insert cat reading newspaper meme*: „I should buy rings.“

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

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

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.

Man rings are gold, its the must for home gyms

Cool video kongrats

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

​ I've been doing rings for a while now (years) and I can assure you that you need more rest than during a classic bodybuilding session.

From someone whos a week into Ring Training, this video is on the money...
