Strap Ring Plank

  1. Strap Ring Plank: Set a pair of gymnastic rings just off the floor.
  2. Be sure you have a set of leverage assisted ring strength straps (LARS straps) attached.
  3. Slip your arms through the straps, fix them around the thickest part of your forearm, and grab ahold of the rings.
  4. Assume a proper straight arm plank position with your shoulders over your hands.
  5. Turn the rings outward, past parallel, and hold for time.
  6. This position should feel as though you are pressing the crease of your elbows strongly forward into the straps.
