i just want to thank you for posting this. Before I learned that you could learn exercises from KZbin, I thought all there was to fitness was pull ups, pushups, crunches, and squats. I saw gymnasts doing more complicated things and I never thought I could ever do them. Even as a kid whenever I tried to do a handstand, I continued right over and landed on my back. Now, in just 1 year of exercising with youtube, I've learned a handstand from pigmie, the pistol squat from saturnomovement, fitnessfaq taught me the reverse Nordic (the full Nordic is maybe coming) and convinced me to buy gymnastic rings, and this channel taught me to do (so far) a 1 legged front lever. I just love all the different approaches you can get this way, and every approach seems to unlock something different.

[@PaulSmith-qs1es]

I've also put on 25 pounds. i was very skinny when I started.

[@gmbfit]

That's great - KZbin has really done great things for how we're able to find info and learn new skills. Really blows my mind how much faster people learn now than they did just ten years ago. Congrats on the progress - keep going!

[@frontlinebodies9820]

Dude! I felt the same excitement when you said "yet" as I did watching the portal scene from Endgame for the first time. Rings 1&2 = awesome AF! New Ring program on Praxis = 🤯

[@ryanhurst3068]

Haha! Right on. :)

Rings program making a comeback - yeah baby! Love your work Ryan, and all of GMB of course.

[@user-pz9hf1ij5w]

I only recently started messing around with the gym rings at my gym. Hardly anyone ever uses them, so I'm immediately impressed with myself. And it feels so darn good to know that my core is strong enough to do some simple stuff with no strain whatsoever. Highly recommend them.

[@Ksamenk]

yes! i was missing your ring workouts! thanks

To the extent it ever really gets easy, it's all just built on spending a ton of time on the basics.

Wonderful, coming late to the party but any news on the program ??

[@lemonaid1796]

Awesome. What characteristics should we look for, when buying our first set of rings?

[@gmbfit]

Reliability. Hundreds of reviews. This isn't the time to go cheap or try out something unproven. Buy from Rogue or Fringe or somebody like that.

[@wanderer5200]

Thanks for the video. How long can someone keep gaining strength on rings?

[@ryanhurst3068]

Like any training, depends on how you're training and recovering. Check the link in description and it'll take you to some resources we have on training with rings.

yes

[@hosseinttm4083]

Is it ok to do dip when legs are parallel to the ground ?

[@BlazblueFan]

Great video! I have a question: I just got my rings today and I can't even get into top position, it's too hard! Are there any easier variants or ways to achieve top position?

[@gmbfit]

Yes, top position is hard. We do have a very detailed tutorial right here on our YT channel though.

[@brianhaverty3957]

Any news on the release of new rings programs?

[@gmbfit]

You mean the rings version of Integral Strength that came out last year? Or the muscle-up course that came out this summer?

[@PaulSmith-qs1es]

What's the theory behind doing pushing before pulling? In my non-ring work outs, I always do the opposite. Since I always start with pullups (hardest) and finish with pushups (easiest).

[@ryanhurst3068]

I'll change the order depending on what the focus is that day. Some days the pulling move will be more difficult so it'll be first. Or I might want to finish with a pull based on the L3 combo, like this session where inverted rows are last. Reason is that the harder moves in this case are above the rings and safer to do those when fresh. Save the below the rings moves for last. Lots of different protocols one can explore.

[@RoshinrajRavi]

I normally alternate between push and pull. Not sure if that's an effective strategy for rings. Thoughts?

[@ryanhurst3068]

@@RoshinrajRavi Sure! If it works for you then keep doing it. :)

[@leejohnson197733]

I stared this a while back but found it manageable to do level 1 but difficult to move on after 6 months also my energy is always low, any good pre work out drink suggestions?

[@gmbfit]

Drinks aren't going to fix this. You need better sleep, an appropriate workload, and good food. If you have those things dialed in and still feel lethargic around workouts, you should see a doctor. Pre-workout is basically just caffeine with some extras. It can't solve a fundamental energy balance problem.

[@leejohnson197733]

@@gmbfit i eat well and sleep very well, but some days after work you just lack more energy to get as much out of a work out as you want. I had bloods done and they couldnt find any issues

[@gmbfit]

@@leejohnson197733 Eating and sleeping well are big so good on ya for having that in check. Sometimes it's just a matter of body adapting to doing more moving around.

We're all getting older. It's literally Ryan's job, but most of us can continue to improve our health much later into life than we think.

[@clareheasly5554]

Should everything cater to everyone?

[@EricJohnson-cp5jb]

It should cater to ring athletes who wish to learn something. This guy looks malnourished and is a beginner.

[@nstock5147]

Any update on the new rings program?

[@gmbfit]

Yeah, it's built into Integral Strength as of a year ago.
