Thanks for very helpful instructions. 👍

[@PaulTwyman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@XcellentSolutions]

So concise with instruction! Thank you so much! Every little bit helps!

[@PaulTwyman]

Xavier Smith thanks for the feedback :)

Adam from Gymnastic Method said the test for adequate strength for RMUs is to do rested horizontal rows, with elevated feet, thumbs to chest, without false grip, 13 reps.

[@PaulTwyman]

Interesting I don’t think I could 13 rows with feet elevated horizontal rows 😂

[@michaelrighi7469]

Awesome video, Paul! Was wondering if you had any tips to go from L sit straight arm straddle press to L sit pike press?

[@PaulTwyman]

thanks. So you can do a Straddle Press to Handstand from floor (stalder press) but you cant go from Straddle L in Pike? If so I'd work very slow eccentrics of the Pike Press, then add partial range and Yo Yo drills. Flex, mobility and compression will be a big part of the picture but all of those are very individaul to where you are at

[@lifeprojectbymon1435]

Thanks! I will try it tomorrow. The concept with thinking of a pull up as a chin up makes more sense. I can do a muscle up from the seated position but when the rings are high I get stuck on the transition. I can also do just the transition if I jump to. muscle up go down in the negative then under the rings and back over the rings again but to put it all together my brain panics

[@PaulTwyman]

Sounds like you are very close! Try bringing the knees up (or L sit if that’s available) as you chin up and then seesaw through the transition, using the legs to counter balance the torso

[@lifeprojectbymon1435]

Yeah I am not even upset I just need some enlightening:)) thank you for the pointers! Will try it this week and let you know.

[@calyptratus187]

Subscribed! Do you have any exercises to take care of the elbows? My elbows hurt when I put too much weight on the Yo-Yo version!

[@PaulTwyman]

Elbow discomfort is very common with ring work. Elbow flossing can help, so bicep curls and tricep extensions at different angles. I’d also concentrate on strengthening the chin up more, so you pull faster and higher needing less demand on the false grip/angle of wrist changes. Let me know how you go

@@PaulTwyman thank you!

[@justinzhang6883]

just wonder how you able to hang the ring so high on that tree? Do you use ladder ?

[@PaulTwyman]

justin zhang hi, no you just throw the straps over a branch

[@gantz0949]

Rings r so humbling. U think ur strong until u try and do a simple hold for 10 sec with rings turned out 😫😫

[@PaulTwyman]

Yes! no place to hide on the rings
