Cool video! Been working out with rings for 5 months and I'm loving it, thanks for sharing your workout :)

[@Optimalsleep]

Good stuff! Keep it going!

I agree, long straps are necessary if you want to use random trees. That's what I do. But long straps are a pain to manage so I made myself a reel for them out of plywood and a skate board wheel. The reel fits inside the rings and makes a neat package. The straps are 25mm x 7m long. There is a small length of strap screwed to the wheel (hub of the reel) and I buckle a strap to it, wind it up, and buckle the other strap to the loose end, and wind that on too.

Nice advice!

[@TheMovementAthlete]

Controlling your body like that is the dream 💯 Keep it up, mate!

[@Optimalsleep]

I will try! :)

I've just used the rings i bought for my birthday and i loved it, it is hard as fuck, you get humbled really quick, i can do 20 push ups on the floor, on barely 7 on the rings, 5 dips on bar, and not even one in rings, i set it up on a tree at my house, i thought the bough was going to break but it was great

[@Optimalsleep]

Great work! Takes time but 100% worth it.

[@damonm4156]

cool vibe bro been on rings for few months so definitely a beginner good time

[@Optimalsleep]

Keep it up!

[@dfinchermd]

Good stuff. You might comment some more on hand positions. I see you change them on certain exercises.

[@Optimalsleep]

Good feedback. If I make more videos on rings I'll look into this.

[@Phil-dg1yg]

good video! tanks, i just started rings and gym on bar, pull ups etc..2 month ago... i like this kind of video, a guy like me:) even if i would like to be in the next year after hours of training :)

[@Optimalsleep]

Glad to help! It was so hard to begin, but the days and weeks go by and it changes. Keep it up!

[@defenderoftheadverb]

Warning. Trees shed boughs. It's a good idea to have a good look to be sure the bough is alive and test it before committing. Young thin boughs are safer than old gnarly ones. To throw a strap over a bough I tie it loosely to one of my rings.

[@Optimalsleep]

Very good point, regarding strap, would it be a bit like a tree protector used in slack lining? Or something else?

[@erikpetrou6597]

Do you put something like chalk on your hands? Or Talk or something like that?

[@Optimalsleep]

I do sometimes use liquid chalk. It's a nice to have, but not essential IMO.

[@Jafmanz]

I liked the part where you said you could do a full body workout and left out the legs..... I love my rings but they really are not a full body tool. Not to detract from them they are amazing!

[@Optimalsleep]

Right you are! If you hear of any ways to add them in with rings let me know.

[@Jafmanz]

you can do a weird horizontal angled squat against a wall with rings but even ring gymnasts do squats and other leg exercises.@@Optimalsleep

Scap

[@Optimalsleep]

Yes, I figured someone would point that out eventually :D
