Rings Workout Beginner Level for Building Strength and Mass

[@280StJohnsPl]

I've had my rings for 20 years now and am still using them at 71 :)

[@280StJohnsPl]

In fact I have two sets of rings set at different heights. The wooden rings are good in Summer as the sweat gives you a good grip

[@mrfabi5943]

That's amazing!!! Always motivates me to see people do it their entire life

Hey thanks. The video was great, and I was wondering how to incorporate each of those moves into a routine in terms of time/number of sets etc. I knew the comments would come through, cheers 👍 (ah I see it's also written at the end of the video, that'll teach me for not watching till the end)

I’m 35 and just ordered my rings. To be honest, this was my dream since I was a child. Now, it’s time to make dreams come true. Can’t wait to start.

[@solfeinberg437]

Bravo, for making exercising super accessible. I know everyone wants to progress and be advanced, but I would go so far as to say, not only do you want to start where you're at (or a little easier) and really respect that so you never hurt yourself but it doesn't matter where you get to. If you work out, you'll be stronger than you would be if you didn't. And if you're careful and adjust before things hurt you'll also feel better. I think this is important.

[@silverman8717]

I am 53 and I started training on the rings one year ago, 3 days per week. I started with TRX then I switched to parallettes for calisthenics ( it helps to develop a good core) and then I switched to ring excersises. This process has helped me a lot....!!

[@dayleclarke4433]

The rings have been the best thing I've ever used for training but you also get strength when your body is in weird positions in daily life. Took about 3 weeks to notice it and it's a massive side benefit.

[@understandyourmind]

I love calistenics (never done it), but for some weird reason I started rings in the gym, I love it. Today was my second day (ever) I am 38 years old, weak and non-muscular man. (YET) I realy love the muscle that is appearing from this gymnastic practises. I would love to become stronger with rings so I can be proud. The second day was already 3x better than the first day, I was able to keep myself in the air for at least 30 seconds but then my hands started shaking AF. Would be lovely if I can keep up and build some lovely momentum in this practise. Nice video, thanks.

[@c-mad6364]

heyo, do you have any update for us ?

[@andresmarino2788]

After your suggestion , I ordered some rings. I watched your ring related videos and took notes and made little drawings to have as a guide . Took them to the local park ( in an area me and my kids refer to as muscle town ). Even from the first moment of hanging , truly releasing through the shoulders I felt my spine crack naturally in a way that if I tried to. Rack my back intentionally , it wouldn’t have covered some of the areas I felt a pop in . It was pretty satisfying. You are a really good instructor… but you make it look very easy - clearly my stabilizing muscles are not there and there was much trembling and correcting at certain points of range of motion within an exercise. I saw another ring guy at Muscle Town and he was helpful and stated that hands down the best purchase he made that year. Thank you for your content .

[@pantzsylvania507]

One of the best ring workout videos I have ever seen. Thank you, Sir.

[@albert.rw2]

got my rings yesterday and started this training this morning. Ring support hold is a thing, i have a good stability and can keep the position, but can't rotate my hands out! next time i'm going to do the assisted variation.

[@tr1ckster726]

Rings are such a fun way to workout. Incredibly humbling.

[@EzaVinylAddict]

Amazing video. Just started my calisthenics journey I’m 50 and you make things that are daunting seem plausible. I subbed thanks.

[@idontcaresapo8233]

I'm 42 now fairly in shape....i have been doing this for the past 3 weeks and i absolutely love it to the point that in not lifting weights anymore...with this rings and some pushups variations is enough to work the whole upper body at once...is extremely difficult but little by little

[@Strengthside]

That's awesome man! It really is a great workout and quite a humbling experience!

[@danielowen5902]

Awesome, these are a great place to start. Another modification for the knee tuck is to use your feet to jump into the inverted position, and then once you are stable, slowly lower back down to get the full eccentric movement.

[@85Funkadelic]

Good stuff. Just picked up a set of these rings and I am at the lowest level you showed. I can already feel that its a different kind of work out then straight up weights. It hits all these little stability muscles hard and your core gets savaged even from the low level stuff.

[@sebastianneuber9479]

Wow... after 2 weeks i get massive gains and improved the reps and sets so much. I will move on and think i can Switch soon to Advanced workout. Thank you

Really appreciate your expertise on all things fitness! Your content is fantastic, and your teaching/coaching methodology is absolutely spot-on... especially your advice to the masses on “focus on strength, not aesthetics” - pearls of wisdom, brother! I’ll be 50 in a few months, have been athletic all my life, but feel stronger, leaner and more agile than I’ve felt in decades... your coaching is at the center of it all. Would like to ask, do you have a background in gymnastics, or did you teach yourself thru self-study to build your skills/knowledge? Thanks again... keep rockin’!

[@Strengthside]

Awesome to hear you're feeling good! No, in fact the opposite. When I started "gymnastic" style training I couldn't lock out my joints and my mobility was horrible. But learned slowly, mostly from my work with Ido Portal.

Ring Routine #2 (Intermediate version) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5jWkJesh8ZgiZI The Ring workouts are why I've gained tons of upper body strength and mass in the last year. Here's a few tips... Make sure to warmup your shoulders properly kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojXnJZ-l7mmf5o Be realistic with yourself and use the regressed variations if you are not quite ready for the full movements. Injuries don't help gain mass 🤪. Do this 2x a week. Start at the lower end of the rep ranges and build yourself up over time. The rings are challenging and fatiguing but don't be frustrated, you will see progress fast. Have fun with this ring workout everyone! 💪🏽👊

Thank you for this. I Love this Channel. Im getting more an more into Training only with rings. Just do handstand Training und legs additionally. ❤

[@elisabattle8456]

What is missing from this review is the cardio component of ring training. Imagine “cheating” on pull-ups/triceps dips, i.e. using your legs to aid in the exercise. Because you are involving the entire body to complete the movement it is extremely easy on the joints, heart rate accelerates due to the upper/lower body involvement, and you can perform MANY more reps per session. It is an ass kicker of a workout. I have three sets of rings set up, ankle level. hip level and just above the head, therefore I can move rapidly from one station to the next without adjusting the rings. This can be done with just two sets of rings also. One can still focus on the strength component of an exercise, but also add a very challenging cardio routine. Thanks-Mike
