Ring Support

Set a pair of gymnastic rings to at least shoulder height.
Grab ahold of the rings and hop up to a top support above the rings.
Straighten your elbows, strongly depress your shoulder blades, and turn the rings out past parallel.
Achieve a completely vertical body line. Press your arms out slightly to keep your hands clear of your hips.
Bend your wrists if necessary to keep your forearms off of the top of the ring straps.
Strongly press forward through your elbows and hold for time.
