I bought a pull-up bar from a old military dude and he also gave me his rings, so I said frick it let's use them, the meme is true, I look way more ripped and in 3 weeks of using them I doubled by dips at the static dip station

You won't get yuge legs but so what? Bw squat variations and sprints are enough for a balanced fizeek unless you're an absolute skelly.
>No arm isolation
Tricep extensions, ring biceps curls, RTO holds, etc.
>No shoulder isolation
True. Training shoulders is not straightforward at all and for rear delts you're SOL.
I started doing OHP with a heavy duty band (equivalent to pressing 80lbs with a barbell give or take), but the band was 40 bucks and kinda defeats the >muh minimalism point. Doesn't do anything for rear delts but makes my shoulders burn unlike pike pushups.
>Isometric exercise and overpriced gimmick equipment for forearms
Replace coc with wrist roller, add finger deadhangs and rice bucket.
>You won't get yuge legs but so what? Bw squat variations and sprints are enough for a balanced fizeek unless you're an absolute skelly.
You will not grow any quad/glute/hamstring/calf gains by doing body fricking weight squats. Unless you are genuinely below 5'5 and fat. >Tricep extensions, ring biceps curls, RTO holds, etc.
Ring work does train the arms for sure. It's not the most efficient, and you're missing out on forearms (no, gripping stuff does not grow forearms) but it's actually pretty good at that, so I'll let that slide. >Training shoulders is not straightforward at all and for rear delts you're SOL.
Have you tried inverted push-ups? Like pike push-ups but on the rings.
>Unless you are genuinely below 5'5 and fat
even then that's the build most squat specialists have, to get any stimulus at all would be still impossible

why would you need more then the basic pull and push movements? they should build 80% of your workouts anyway
that said you can easily do rows, face pulls, curls, triceps extension, lots of different stiff joint exercises
breaking it down to dips and pull ups is dishonest >No leg work (Ankle weights do not fricking count)
he literally said solves upper body
nobody claimes rings do anything for legs >No arm isolation
there is a number of triceps and biceps isolation exercises >No shoulder isolation
shoulder isolation i will give you its very hard to do with rings
that said there is some exercises they just have a bad strength curve >Isometric exercise and overpriced gimmick equipment for forearms
how are grippers overpriced? there is even a gripper that goes from x-xkg of resistance for like 30 bucks
also i think grippers aren't needed
if you can pull up your bw and 80% of your bodyweight for reps you will have forearms >NATTY AESTHETICS IS LE SOLVED GUYS!!! THIS IS ALL U NEED!!!!
your post is trash anon don't know what to tell you
Calisthenics with some actual leg movement incorporated is probably good enough for most people. If I liked the movements I would do it more but instead I just do a few sets a week of weighted chins and dips.
this is true, doing a minimalist routine might work if you're on a gram of test a week, If you can't train properly just find a different hobby because you're wasting your time making no gains
I'd add a weight vest to the rings. A calisthenics belt only works for vertical pulls and pushes. The ankle weights are also useless.
Rings are definitely awesome and save heaps of space, time and money if you want to train at home. I have a pair myself and rotate through several exercises with them weekly, including diagonal rows, dips, and pushups. Pullups also feel incredibly good on them,
However, I don't think they're the end-all be-all. Sure they're highly versatile, and can train a wide variety of movements and muscles, but that's only upper body. Training legs is vital for overall fitness, strength, good body composition and balance, and longevity. Gymnastic rings cannot give you that.
So, for me I'd use the rings attached to a squat rack. That way you don't have to get cables and dumbbells if you don't want to, and you can train both compound lifts and a wide range of isolation lifts with the rings. Those two components, rings and a squat rack/barbell/bench combo already cover 80% of what you could ever need.
As for the rest, the CoC grippers are great if you want to train grip strength, but don't expect big muscular gains from them. Doing wrist curls works way better, and guess what, you can use the rings for that if you're smart.
So overall I partly agree. I validate the use of rings for hypertrophy-focused training, but they're not the panacea.

wagmi bros, demoralization cucks rope on my rings (luv my rings)
OP. You speedreading DYEL morons aren't even reading the infographic. Ankle weights are used for dips and pullups as incrementals, not for training legs.
You'd understand this if you'd lifted for at least 6 months.

frick off

He said it solves "natty" esthetics, dyel gay
yes and he the pic says "who cares about legs lol"
so it never claimed it trains legs...
which it doesnt so its correct
no moron, he's assuming you don't need to train them
Calisthenics with some actual leg movement incorporated is probably good enough for most people. If I liked the movements I would do it more but instead I just do a few sets a week of weighted chins and dips.
Do you really need CoC trainers? Why wouldn't deadhangs be enough?

are you telling me ankle weights will build my leg muscles?
that sounds like some copium.
I do enjoy my pull-up bar and rings though.
