Instructions

  1. Grab the gymnastic rings with an overhand grip and hang fully extended with your arms straight.

  2. Engage your core and cross your ankles behind you to keep your body stable throughout the movement.

  3. Pull your chest up toward the rings by driving your elbows down and back.

  4. Pause briefly at the top as your chin clears the rings, squeezing your upper back muscles.

  5. Lower yourself smoothly back down to the starting dead hang position with full arm extension.
