Ring Triceps Extension

Setup:

• Adjust the gymnastic rings to a height that allows you to perform the exercise comfortably. The rings should be securely attached and stable.

Starting Position:

• Stand facing the rings. Hold the rings with your palms facing each other and arms straight down at your sides.

• Step back to create tension on the rings. Lean slightly forward from your ankles while keeping your feet shoulder-width apart.

Body Positioning:

• Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core to maintain stability.

• Your elbows should be tucked close to your body throughout the movement.

Movement:

• Begin the exercise by bending your elbows, lowering your forearms towards your forehead. Make sure to keep your elbows stationary and close to your sides.

• Focus on using your triceps to control the movement, feeling the stretch in your arms as you lower.

Return to Starting Position:

• Once your forearms are close to your forehead and you feel a slight stretch, push through your palms and extend your elbows back to the starting position.

• Ensure that your movements are smooth and controlled throughout the exercise.

Repetitions:

• Perform 10-15 repetitions, or as many as you can maintain good form. Rest before repeating for a total of 2-3 sets.

Tips:

• Start with a lighter resistance or body angle if you're new to the exercise.

• Keep your movements slow to avoid injury and ensure maximum muscle engagement.

• Maintain a neutral spine and avoid arching your back during the exercise.

Cool Down:

• After completing your sets, stretch your triceps and shoulders to prevent soreness.
