You're absolutely right but my thinking was "I'm absolutely NOT getting this today, let me just throw in as many negatives as I can at the end of my set while everything else is exhausted to get as much activation as I can" and let me tell you the Lat DOMS make me feel like it worked.
You can do body weight face pulls / reverse flys technically but it may be a little advanced. If you have resistant bands you can decrease the difficulty
I've always grabbed them from the inside, and I've never had a problem. You could always try both. To increase the difficulty, you'll eventually turn the rings outwards while dipping so your palms are facing forwards. pic related.
damn homie got some big forearms.
Ill look at some form videos before attempting the dips after they get here but should be good chest excerise, thanks
I keep seeing your posts about everything destroying your shoulders and I'm legitimately curious what your your shoulders look like. What kind of dysgenic frick are you that EVERYTHING hurts your shoulders?
>all the women mirin’ glutes as you finish your set undeterred >gym jester comes and gives you a high five and a complimentary roast >receptionist suddenly remembers to say goodbye on your way out
What the frick are you paying for then? At that point just go do pushups in the park where there's at least a high chance there's a poverty-jester (strung out homeles man)
That means you're the chosen one. You need to start learning all the gym jester tricks--for example, do OHP as loudly as you can and really strain at it, then when you're at the top of your last rep, let your balloon barbell float away. You're also obligated to keep a whoopee cushion in your pocket that you brap every time someone bottoms out a squat.
In time your body will age out of lifting heavy without injury: remember you don't have to be done and get into suspension training then. With your base mass you will age like Henry Rollins
In 2020 I was in college during lockdown and I would spam ring dips and pullups daily. Id do 10x10 in the morning and evening and I actually made decent gains Rings treated me well but they dont beat going to the gym
i tried drilling a mount into the ceiling to hang gymnastic rings but one of the lag bolts went in crooked. it made a loud crack on the way in too so i’m probably compromising the structural integrity of my apartment
but now i have to order some 3/8 inch wood dowels to glue into the hole and try again, next time probably with an impact driver instead of a wrench
i also made some previous holes that missed the joist altogether and now look like shit because i filled them with caulk and the color doesn’t match. i will have to try painting over with the correct color and hopefully it will be decent
i literally just want to work out and do some nice trainings at home but i have to finish this lame project and it’s making me sad and upset and generally just a bit discouraged 🙁
my cat was also yelling at me the entire time so i grabbed his scruff in frustration and yelled at him back. i don’t feel too bad about it because he’s deaf and loud meows constantly but i gave him some apology treats anyways and he’s seeming happy rn
idk sorry for venting i’m just a bit sad, no one told me rings would be this complicated
They are very unstable so they aren't the best mass builder for exercises where your feet leave the ground like dips, but still they are legit for everything else.
If you rotate the rings inwards it might be OK. The problem with parallel bar dips is supposed to be the angle of the bars. Ring dips are several times harder though due to the instability of the rings.
dip stations in gym always have the bars too far apart. there is an outside park with parallel bars adequately close together, and dips feel so much easier and natural there
the rings aren't stable, you have to stabilize them laterally while supporting your bodies weight, which requires even more effort during the full range of motion of a dip
if a normal dip hurts, a dip on rings might put you in the hospital
Usually people have sternum pain from ring dips. Reduce the amount of reps and sets, also make absolutely sure that your form is perfect and you are not cheating on your reps.
Don't even think about ring dips until you hit at least 4x8 dips and learn how to hold yourself on rings at least for a minute without shaking.
you are going to make it anon
when I began working out about 5 years ago I did a calisthenics routine
I was so weak I couldn't do a single pull up and I very much couldn't do a single dip
I was using two desks to do dip negatives
eventually my sternum began to hurt like you
but by the time I could do a dip I was able to crack it and it never hurt again
now I will sometimes be able to crack my sternum
what I think is happening is that people have a sternal joint they've never applied any real stress to, so when they begin applying pressure and flexing the joint for the first time it's painful
like breaking a hymen
but it's only because of lack of use
imagine you never used your elbow before and suddenly pivoted the joint through force
they're alright, but definitely not that super magical for gains as people tend to think
make dips and pushups harder and things like horizontal pulls or skullcrushers possible
>obliterates your joints into dust
strongmen compete well into their 40s and sometimes 50s, but there are practically no gymnasts past their late or even mid 20s. wonder why that is ?
Use chalk. Do grip exercises. Use the rings with a resistance-band assisting you to make yourself "lighter". Do Australian Pull-ups and/or Jackknife Pull-ups.
Any ideas where or how to set up the ring dips at home? I have a pull up/captain's chair/dip bar type set up, but if I set up the ring dips to hang from the pull-up bar, it will be too narrow for me, my arms will be touching my dip bars.
If you can't drill into a support beam or something to hang hooks and there's nowhere else in the home, worst case scenario you can hang them off a tree or some kind of playground / public sculpture.

worst case scenario you leave them closer to the ground and do the exercises with your legs on a chair/on the ground
that is, unless you are uber fatso
Based I was just doing ring pull-ups and then ring inverted rows followed by ring tucked front lever progressions.
Back is ducking THROBBING boys
>"ducking"
iPhone auto correct
thats the joke.jpg
That specific autocorrect was fixed in iOS 17 btw
Starting with the front lever and following it with the other two is probably better, anon.

i dont have dip "bars" on my squat rack so i ordered these to put on my pullup bar, wont they slip along the bar?
Pretty sure your weight is enough to keep them in place.
What are some good exercises?
I've already gotten pushups, pullups, and dips on these.
Any way to to work mid and posterior delts?
As long as you don't flare your arms when you dip, you'll be fine
You can do body weight face pulls / reverse flys technically but it may be a little advanced. If you have resistant bands you can decrease the difficulty
to prevent that, is it better to grab the rings from outside, rather than inside?

learn the ring static hold first, also you could always start with ring pushups, you will definitely feel them
Lean a bit back and do lateral raises for side and rear delt. You will figure it out, it gives a great pump
why do his legs bend like a velociraptor?
>What are some good exercises?

Rows
There are ways of fastening these so it’s nearly impossible to make them slip. It involves making knots or passing them over the bar multiple times.
Use two barbells resting on the safety bars of the rack
Just wrap them around the bar twice. And the rings twice too. So the straps are on top of themselves. The friction stops them from slipping
Yes, a clove hitch
be balanced
>destroys your shoulders
I keep seeing your posts about everything destroying your shoulders and I'm legitimately curious what your your shoulders look like. What kind of dysgenic frick are you that EVERYTHING hurts your shoulders?
>everyone on an anonymous message board with the same opinion is one person
Dumbass
nta but "rings destroy your shoulders" is such a moronic fatso-exclusive opinion that I refuse to believe it's held by more than one obese autist
I'm just speaking from experience as someone who has shoulder impingement for over a year now. Be careful with your shoulders anons.
>have rings to externally rotate the shoulder and avoid any chance of impingement
>do the opposite
Skill issue
ring dips is literally the one alternative that does the opposite, stupid frog poster
I'm too lazy to learn all the million exercises you need to match picking up a barbell
>Be me
>Pullups in gym
>dip belt starts slipping
>Pants down
>boxers came half way down with the pants.
definately do at home
>all the women mirin’ glutes as you finish your set undeterred
>gym jester comes and gives you a high five and a complimentary roast

What the frick are you paying for then? At that point just go do pushups in the park where there's at least a high chance there's a poverty-jester (strung out homeles man)
if there's no gym jester then the gym jester is YOU
That means you're the chosen one.

You're seriously missing out
dude thats great if you have a big dick, imagine setting up an ''accident'' like that and all the gym thots hearing about it, ez pounding incoming
>thats great if you have a big dick
haha yeah maybe I should try something like that
I fricking love dips bros
But I love heavy bench press and ohp 🙁
In time your body will age out of lifting heavy without injury: remember you don't have to be done and get into suspension training then. With your base mass you will age like Henry Rollins
You still need a barbell for your lower body. You could use kettlebells, but it's not nearly as effective.

Hard mode for home gym to be sure
i tried drilling a mount into the ceiling to hang gymnastic rings but one of the lag bolts went in crooked. it made a loud crack on the way in too so i’m probably compromising the structural integrity of my apartment

sounds like you need a real man to install them for you
sure, you offering?
yeah I'll be over tomorrow, I expect a home cooked meal and a blowjob
can we cuddle too or
sure, as long as you swallow
>my cat was also yelling at me the entire time so i grabbed his scruff in frustration and yelled at him back
Black person
if you can't take it don't dish it out
It's a cat
like that excuses anything
It is a cat. You grab it by the scruff and yell at it to discipline it?
Actually off yourself.
>he thinks the cat wouldn't do the same
might makes right
They are very unstable so they aren't the best mass builder for exercises where your feet leave the ground like dips, but still they are legit for everything else.
manlet exercise.
Parallel dips make my sternum hurt incredibly after only a few reps. Does this also apply to ring dips, or do those solve the problem?

Are you like 80cm short?
>obliterates your joints into dust
strongmen compete well into their 40s and sometimes 50s, but there are practically no gymnasts past their late or even mid 20s. wonder why that is ?
They wouldn't be able to compete at such level
I am 185 cm at 75 kg. I want to gain at least 20kg. A proper barbell routine will get me there faster.
my grip strenght is not strong enough to use rings. not memeing, my hands and forearm give up
Use chalk. Do grip exercises. Use the rings with a resistance-band assisting you to make yourself "lighter". Do Australian Pull-ups and/or Jackknife Pull-ups.
If you can't drill into a support beam or something to hang hooks and there's nowhere else in the home, worst case scenario you can hang them off a tree or some kind of playground / public sculpture.

based, just hang them here
It's what they would have wanted.
Gotcha, thanks.

How much strength do I need to start with rings? I can do One arm Pushups, but I don't think my core is very strong.
worst case scenario you leave them closer to the ground and do the exercises with your legs on a chair/on the ground
