Ring Support Hold
How to do it
- Set gymnastic rings at a height that lets your arms hang fully extended below your shoulders when supported.
- Grip the rings with a neutral hand position and press down to lift your body into a straight arm support above them.
- Turn the rings out slightly and pull them down against your sides to load the shoulders and triceps brachii.
- Brace the core and keep the ribs stacked over the hips so the body forms a straight line.
- Breathe steadily through the nose and hold the top support position for the prescribed duration.
- Keep the shoulders pulled down and back throughout the hold instead of letting them creep up toward the ears.
