The Top Position (or Rings Support Hold) should be the first rings exercise to master because it is something you will ALWAYS return to when you're above the rings performing Muscle Ups, holding an L-sit, or transitioning into and out of a Bent Arm Stand.
It builds tendon strength (and general straight arm strength) that will help with any other movement where you are locking out your arms like back levers and even other movements off of the rings like push-ups, handstands, and planches.
This video covers everything you need to train the Top Position in a safe and efficient manner.
We really hope you found this video useful.

I’ve been training on the rings for about 10 months now. After watching your video today I held a top position for 80 seconds! That position has really helped with other movements, the L sit, skin the cat etc. I had a gym member approach me inquiring if I was a UFC fighter. I recently turned 65 lol. Love your videos! 💪

@robertwhite2449 Год назад

After developing really good strength and volume on parallel bar dips I jumped into doing ring dips. Badly tore my left pec ( not completely off thank god) in the second session. Hurt like hell, and now probably set my dip training back months. I wish I had paid attention and spent time on the preliminaries before going to ring dips, because they are MUCH harder and more dangerous.

Oh man, I'm sincerely sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon. At least now you know, and you can rebuild your strength gradually again. I hope you recover quickly :)

@mzh99 8 месяцев назад

Love the rings! Have been doing them for a few years now for dips, pull-ups, and push-ups, and wow, what great workout and benefit for all those stabilizing muscles that you wouldn't hit as well with gym machines using fixed planes. My only issue is my left elbow had issues years ago, and I had an arthroscopy to remove floating cartilage. After this, my full extension suffered and still does. Can't quite straighten 100% and cannot finish the top position with the hands at 9:00/3:00 position. My thumb is more like at 1:30. Any tips to help change that?

@gmbfit 8 месяцев назад

Sounds like this is one of those things were it's just going to take time. And honestly, it doesn't "have" to be 9/3 position. The main thing if you do want that position is working in a way that's good for you and being consistent with your training of it.

@fromisgunner Год назад

First time commenting but I will definitely buy your Integral Strength program after all the value the team provided. One question regarding this: I can hold this position unassisted when my hands are facing my sides and but when I rotate them to face the front, I can barely hold it with assistance for more than 5 seconds. What kind of imbalance do I have and how can I work on it? Thanks!

@gmbfit Год назад

It's not an imbalance. You're going from an easier position to a more difficult one. Of course you can't hold it as easily. With practice, you'll get stronger and better at controlling it.

MU is a reasonable goal, but don't chase "progressions" on this. Your next thing to aim for should be doing all those things you said you can do... *really, really well.* :) It'll take a difference.

@uniktbrukernavn 8 месяцев назад

I guess I'll never know why it's so important to externally rotate on may of these exercises. It's not like it's a natural movement. It seems arbitrary just to make the exercise harder; ring pull-ups, you must externally rotate for .5 sec when in the top position because that's where all the gains are for some reason. Anyway I've been doing the top position for a 2 months now and I can do 40 sec. Form? I don't know. It's not shaky but I don't know if my shoulders are tucked in into my "back pocket":) Thanks for the video, I'll try to improve my technique.

@gmbfit 8 месяцев назад

It's absolutely a natural movement. Completely non-arbitrary. It aligns the joints so that you support your weight with your bones rather than your muscles. It builds your strength and control at the longest leverage, which conditions your connective tissue and helps resist injury.

Wished I would have seen this before I injured my shoulder trying the rings. Haven’t been able to push ups or pull-ups for several months now and have been in a lot of pain when raising my arm. Yep you guessed it.. rotator cuff. Videos like this is extremely important.

Oh really sorry to hear that. It's unfortunately not terribly uncommon... But do any rehab prescribed religiously and then rebuild gradually from the basics.You can definitely recover and continue to build strength.

I just jumped in the support hold from excitement after ordering some rings online. My shoulders still hurt after 4 days.

@gmbfit Год назад

oh man, I know the excitement, and I've done similar... hope you feel better soon and gradually build up your strength.

@@gmbfitHi ,I have question in regards to jummping on the rings . I used to jump on them but now I just put them forward front of my chest and pull myself up. During this motion I moved rings besides my body . I found it more fluid move than jumping in them .

@@cheguevara5560 I don's see a question, but I'm glad you found a technique that works for you. I demonstrate my preferred method in the video.

Use your feet and set up as the video shows. Build your strength over time until you can do it correctly.

I know you guys have made some leaps in other modalities. But you must realize that the rings and P-bar programs were gold, er gold medal? 😂 Sure there are lots of things overall healthy and such. But guys, we like rings, P-bars and strength tricks! Maybe throw some cool horizontal bar progressions in there? We the people just love that stuff that you guys created! Hopefully you’ll crank out some more?

You're commenting on a rings video as if we don't know that rings are useful and that people want to learn how to use them... The video you just watched is proof that we get it.

For all the exercise with weights and calisthenics, it all means nothing when doing rings or high bar work. How could so many muscles have been left out of regular exercise? Worse yet, the people that are good on rings make it look so easy. And GIRLS can do Giant Swings around a high bar. How do little girls have such grip strength? Amazing. But, that's why I've added such exercise to my normal routine.

"Fitness" tends to be pretty reductive compared to real sports-based movement.
