Christian Sørlie Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Now I have a pretty decent HS on floor, parallells and blocks. But I tried a ring HS for fun the other day: I know that Coach has ring HS as a separate beast from normal HS and it's with good reason. I find it impossible at the moment to straighten the arms fully, rings turned out? Forget it. So just thought I'd share. I'm not training this element yet. Following the foundation series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Slocum Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Please use a mat next time. Falling forwards from there would be quite painful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 extend the arms in rings handstand is the most difficult part my friend, is necessary to learn how to balance moving the rings and not bending your arms.the process to get the strength is slow slow and slow.i'm not a monster in rings hs but until now is the most difficult element i've learned and i'm surprised that for my coach i did it much better then some competitive gymnast in my facility, for sure best result comes after helsinki seminar.

Ralph Palutke Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Alex did you ever try it RTO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 yes and it's coming more simple since i've started some adv straigth arm element after London seminar.Actually the longest hold on rings i did without RTO is around 30 seconds, with RTO the balance becomes critical and the holds become short around 6-7 seconds. For now i'm doing only maintenance until H1 will be mastered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
