Another great and detailed tutorial! Thank you very much! This seems like the ideal next step for me to move from inverted rows to pull-ups. Exactly what I need!
@@gmbfit The beginning 3-4 reps were easy, then things changed. The biceps and forearms were in full protest end of set 2. Think the abs and upper back took a hit. Some serious fire
haha, yeah, building that strength endurance in the high portion of the pull is really important if you wanna be able to progress toward more difficult strength movements :)
I recently covered the reverse row sit back in my Integral Strength program and it kicked my arse to say the least. Great movement! On a different note, I really appreciate that you guys put these longer videos on RU-vid where Ryan can teach more about the specifics of a certain movement. Love your work GMB 👍
Just a beginner but got the rings 1 Programm, playing around with the basics & loving the challenge of getting on the way to a mu. This tutorial is really helpful with the step by step explanations! Thanks a bunch!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love this! I find myself I that sitting position a lot when finished with bw rows and trying to stand up, and it’s a tough one. Now I can do it deliberately!
I'm becoming a big fan of GMB Fitness! I've just started the Elements program and I'm surprised at how subtle but effective it is in providing a great workout. As I watch this video, I'm thinking that while I don't have a ring set up, I do have a TRX suspension trainer and it would work for this.
I just tried this, and it's a great exercise. Much more challenging than it looks, and it just happens to be perfect timing for me finding this. I just recently pulled something in my left elbow pit, brachioradialis area, and have been working back, trying to focus on rebuilding some tendon strength in that area with isometric positions of various exercises. I had been doing a pull up with a top hold isometric, but this always seems to create another issue for me with golfer's elbow. Think this exercise is leap years better for me with where I'm at at present though, so thank you very much. I will definitely keep working this. Thank you for the knowledge.
Tendinitis is something a lot of people have trouble with. These exercises can help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--sGc5hChShc.html We also cowrote a book with Steven Low called Overcoming Tendonitis, which might be helpful.
@@gmbfit Thank you very much for your reply. I will definitely give these tendonitis exercises a try and check out the book. I used to do the open chain rotations years ago, after seeing Bruce Lee doing those in one of his books and finding it helped my elbows, but had forgotten about them. Thank you for you help.
He explains time and reps int he video. As a beginner, you should not be trying to structure programming. You don't have the experience to know what will work for you, and you'll either burn out or spin your wheels without progress. My best tip is to follow a proven program created by a coach who has taught people like you to do what you'd like to do.
The body is made to move...well we move because we have a body design to do it and Ryan is going to help you to move better not to workout your biceps. Great Chan.&info!
Love the detailed breakdown, Ryan. I was wondering; if I wanted to perform more than one rep at a time, do you recommend going back all the way to dead hang at the end of each rep. Or just to the pulling prep phase.
I didn't know this had a name or was a specific exercise! good to know. I often do a movement like this on the days I am having a rest from pull ups. As a fairly fluid movement where I was trying to get some movement through hips and legs. I will give it a go like this with the more deliberate cues. Thanks :)
Thank you for this detailed breakdown. Turns out I needed to improve every segment! Oh and for the record the slowly approach hurt such that I wasn’t able to curse? 😉
Thank you Ryan for such a well explained and educational video. I was hoping to work towards my ring muscle up this year but doing this proves that I am not strong enough yet. Would you recommend incorporating practice in false grip with this exercise or just step by step. Thanks again for the tutorial. Will definitely be including regularly.
Very good and tough. I tryed but could not get rings completaly up to my chest unless I changed the angel a bit. Is there some way how to improve my strenght to do it? Thanks for your great job 👍
Wow this is awesome breakdown!!! Love it! I have a question: what should I do if I can't touch my chest with the rings in the upper position (approximately an inch)?
Glad you dig it. That main thing is to practice pulling harder. You *may* need to work on shoulder mobility a bit (see our video routines for that), but it's almost always just that you need to practice really pulling very hard at the top.
I'm planning to set up a gym in my living room. Please, please, please!!! What kind of room dividers do we see in your videos and what kind of metal/iron equipment are you hanging from. IT looks so solid. It will help me so much to know what materials to use.
Room dividers? I just have walls. And a squat rack. You don't need to get complicated. A floor is plenty for most of this. If you wanna figure out how to hang your rings, we made a video for that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q5JSXfknmYs.html
It's easy for him because he's spent decades training. It's harder for you because you haven't. Being taller makes some things more challenging, but it's a terrible reason to assume something is impossible. It's training. It takes time, and it's difficult. Spending time on difficult things is how you get stronger.
@gmbfit True!!! Today was my first attemp, but I just thought it would be easier!!! I only managed to get 3 reps with horrible form, but I am determined. In 2 years of working out with rings, I had never seen this before. Now I'm eager to explore your channel and see what other challenges you have to offer.
Whatever protocol your program dictates. I suggest focusing on just doing one, slow, controlled, perfect rep at a time. Until you can't do them that way anymore.
@@gmbfit , thank you! I have actually been struggling with my strength to get the rings to touch my chest. Is there a progression or alternative exercise to work on that? Or do I just stick to doing this exercise until the glorious day arrives I can do what you do? LOL
I'd recommend you get your own. It's like $35 with the strap where you can use a closed door for rows. Light weight bring them to gym or playground. Hands down the best $$ to health benefits every.
Does this if done with one arm version of it carryover to a one arm lock off? the top upper part position of a one arm chin up? Besides doing two arm basics
