A correctly designed wrist pre-hab series will strengthen the wrists for the demands of gymnastics strength training.
Wrist pushups are an integral part of the wrist pre-hab program that I use with my own athletes.
The Xtreme Rings are capable of far more than just simple pushups, pull-ups and muscle-ups. Galimores are an example of just one of the many demandingly productive movements possible on this piece of equipment.
A video demonstration of Galimores is available here.
An essay containing progressions and performance guidelines is available in the Ring Strength forum under "Galimores".
The Xtreme Rings, currently on sale for $55, are available for purchase here.

Recently forum member Ido Portal took his Xtreme Rings with him on vacation to the beach town of Lazarevskaya in Russia on the Black Sea. Ido is an exceptional athlete, as well as an expert in nutrition, and I highly recommend visiting his blog to share in his fitness journeys around the world.
