One year of gymnastic rings training

[@jacksalt4313]

Day one... Does muscle up.....

[@oc_g2236]

haha i was literally about to say that, one week in and this man is already an olympic gymnast wtf is this

[@andreasbreuss5907]

but after a year he still has bad form

[@giannisdolianitis2611]

@@andreasbreuss5907 it was really good actually..

[@lm3755]

@@andreasbreuss5907 Really glad you're pointing that out. I never even thought about it until now, but I have spent one session working on that now, and I understand why people strive for that stick straight form. Damn that is hard.

[@andreasbreuss5907]

​@@lm3755 haha i appreciate that you dont take it personally ring training comes from gymnastik and form is super important there or better said - has to look flawless and easy but i dont think it will take you long for that muscle up - still keep it up brother

Impresionamte progresión 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼todos sabemos que llevó mucha dedicación

[@ombing5190]

NICE one.. thank you. now i can know where to start posture looking at your video..

[@james6748]

This is sick I don’t really train much with rings, but I’ve been getting into calisthenics and this is really cool to see. Keep up the grind 💪

[@lm3755]

Really glad to hear that, it sure keeps my motivation high, so thanks. And you keep on that grind too!

[@dingrobin1369]

Day one and you can muscle up already? You must be a beast

[@omargarza7060]

Great job, super impressive man! 👏 cheers!

[@lynet9849]

That is some Nice progress You got going on there. Hats off for to.

[@TheNewCrap]

Focus more on your shoulders and do front lever to back lever with straight posture the whole way and back. Will increase overall shoulder strength.

[@robertkolb1538]

this video is 2 years ago but for iron cross i would recommend dips, a lot of them keep going

[@dirtworshiper2800]

Nice work. Inspirational. And an Iron Maiden fan too.

[@samvandervaeren3276]

Good Job! Nice to see you progress

[@Vicburmester]

Awesome work!!!

[@laughingstar3945]

We need a progress update!

[@AbeBuilt.Different]

Beautiful set up 🙌🏻🙌🏻 great height great strength u shud go for kips, back kip, and forward roll and shoulderstand. For straddle L sit point the toes more, but overall great start!! Ur only going up 🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@lm3755]

Really grateful for the advice. I'm working on the kip, which I find pretty hard, as well as proper form in muscle up and straddle sit.

[@984elite]

Oké, started day one with a muscle up and after a year still a muscle up. Zero TUT in backlever, front lever and iron cross 🤷🏼‍♂️ it’s better to build up some TUT in the correct position with resistance bands or a dream machine for example. Just falling down and hoping that you will hold iron cross some day only get’s you injured.

[@trevoryou4907]

Solid stuff bro. I’m proud of your effort

[@JustaNoBody21]

Impressive 🎉

[@FitFighter15]

Respect!!!

[@keejonkim]

Wow great!

[@leeedmunds2539]

really cool man

[@peterlee9691]

One year later I am jumping up just to grab those rings, not sure if I can even hold it more then 10 seconds...

[@grzegorzjedrzejowski5746]

Hi, you might already know this, but one of the reasons you are struggling with iron cross is incorrect technic. Your palms should face downwards and biceps forwards, scapula should be neutral or protracted. Roll your shoulders towards your chest, keep scapulas depressed and look in front of you. In this way you will activate muscles you were supposed to, which are pectorial major and minor (chest) not lats (back). It is very important. Good luck!

[@lm3755]

Thank you so much for the tips, I will be trying that out as soon as I'm restored from the last sesh! Cheers

[@esma.ga5]

I am commenting here to savr this piece of information. Thank you

[@andreasni2376]

Stark!

[@samuelgalloza6397]

Front lever/backlever is coming along well for u. Did u do specific workouts to get strong enough for these skills, if so u should post a workout vid

[@lm3755]

Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that! Honestly, I never had the dedication to do exercise-specific workouts. It was more of a habit thing. Have the bar hanging in the hallway and attempt a front lever whenever I'm bored. I did do progressions to get there though. The first being the hanging tuck-up, with the fully tucked front lever after that. And with the back-lever, you can see in the video that there was an aha-moment when I figured out how-to achieve straight form by jamming my elbows into my lats. As for a workout vid, we'll see. I'm swamped with other things in my life right now, but it could be a fun project if I find myself in lockdown anytime soon. Cheers and stay healthy.

[@Keysounds0]

Crazy how good your cross has progressed vs your back lever. Usually, like for myself, it’s the other way around

[@tarcisio825]

Yeah, I feel like him. My back lever is trash, despite of being able to do the victorian

[@xavier.salazar]

Dude sick progression! How do you work on your false grip for the rings and the iron cross 😮

[@----zd1od]

outstanding dode!, did you do any weight trainning while your one year progression?

[@lm3755]

Thank you man! Yeah, mostly weighted pull ups, as well as iron cross pulls on the cables.

[@lukebayshaw1958]

Hey bro any update?

[@gurkansezer379]

That's good

[@sthsgood]

Impressive, how much time did you spend every day?

[@roeldankers2479]

How is the iron cross now

[@drde63]

How often were you using the rings; every day, every other day and what type of exercises were you doing with the rings?

[@lm3755]

A little too often I think. I was going about twice a week, and I feel like I haven't been diverse enough in my training, as I've had a returning problem with shoulder tendinitis. So I'm easier on the rings now, and trying to train more diverse. The exercises are pretty much what you see in the video+ lots of dips, muscle ups and small routines that combine them.

[@drde63]

Okay,thanks

[@miloice74]

@@lm3755 work on the back rows and face pulls to bullet proof the shoulder. I have shoulder impingements for the last 25 or more years. Rest doesn't help, not for me at least. I am doing alot more resistance bands and starting on rings. Simply love it but will take it super slow, more practise to the basics to get the form right. The stress on the joint comes from the instability. Taking the instability away from the training will allow u you to train more often and safely.

[@lynet9849]

No over traning. If i take too many dips i fell stiffness in My neckmussels and up to the skull/head. But thats it. Fish oil every day.

[@lynet9849]

Was out with dip and

[@Miam_miam_la_gauffre]

I don't think that's the best way to train iron cross (just lowering into position again and again) You are not conditioning your joints because you don't stay in the right position, use resistance bandes, easier progression (ring resting on forearms) and little hops to position with negative. That way you can learn both the technique (which is pretty simple but hey) and condition your tendons. Plus you can build strength with presses and Bulgarian dips. (Idk if you are doing that or not but doesn't cost much to point it out)

[@984elite]

I was about to say the exact same thing. Zero TUT in de correct position.

[@ErickRodriguez-zd8jj]

Did you train yourself or had a coach?

[@Sheriff.Movement]

How old were you when you started training?

[@snek1597]

Ring muscle up is very hard i almost twist my shoulder HAHAHA

[@shamussilva]

Those ropes don’t look safe but sick video

[@kevinotoole885]

Hahaha like somebody else said, day 1 muscle up 😂😂 clearly not a beginner. Makes me wish I’d of filmed and posted posted my day one blowing out my arse literally not able to do anything…….that would show you all what a real day 1 looks like. Fair play to this dude as he has got better.

[@fazebot2405]

You’re gonna mess up your shoulders if you keep letting yourself drop that hard.

[@mitch9345]

Do you tense your abs during these ring exercises ?

[@lm3755]

Yes, that happens quite naturally

[@fazebot2405]

With rings you don’t have to do sit-ups workouts, rings naturally makes you engage your core.

[@markmiller8903]

Try kipping to an L.

What is wrong with ur back lever is literally easier than anything
