Rings + F1

Just ordered some rings, and was wondering what the effect of playing around on them AFTER all my Foundation work for that given day. I would do it just a few times a week, maybe doing some support holds, muscle ups, rolls, etc. Nothing strenuous (~10 mins), just getting used to them and having fun. Thanks!

don't know, that's totally upto what level you currently are. though dedicated segments of ring training won't be completely necesary, though im not qualified to say to what degree. for my submission to the GB video, i hadn't been on my rings for months(aside from RC work) and i noticed that my transition for muscle ups got noticeably wider.

hands almost together to be able to pull through(sept2012) hands slightly more outward(jan2013) and the current one, im not so sure about it.

if you're doing H1, you'll greatly benefit from the wrist progressions, if you will be on your rings

Keep the sessions light, just do it 1-2 times a week, and you'll be fine.

You cant do ring work after Foundation because the police will get you !

It happened to me once!

I think you can have some fun as long as your Foundation work first. Think of as the healthy part of a meal.

 

Your ring work is the dessert, so it's fine as long as it don't eat it before and/or instead of the meal.

Agree with all this ^^ obviously Foundation work is what's going to have the biggest effect on your progress right now, so put your focus to that foremost.

Personally I'm a perfectionist, so I've dropped pretty much all ring work (aside from support/german hang) until post-Foundation.
