Dip (Ring)
How to do it
- Grip a set of gymnastic rings and support the body with arms extended, rings turned out slightly and core braced.
- Lower the body by bending the elbows, allowing the rings to drift outward slightly as the chest leans forward.
- Descend until the upper arms are roughly parallel to the floor, feeling the stretch load through the chest.
- Press back up by extending the elbows and driving through the triceps brachii until the arms are straight again.
- Keep the rings steady and avoid letting them swing wildly between reps.
- Control the descent rather than dropping quickly, a common fault that shifts additional load onto the shoulders.
