Foundation on Rings?

Hi, 

For XR-sPL you will want to start with the progressions laid out in the forthcoming Ring Course.

I can't imagine that sPL won't be in there as Coach has already stated that PL is part of his Iron Cross progression. 

Ok, thanks a lot. I didn´t know this.

I´ll wait for Rings Series. But are the goals of Ring One known? I imagine that it will cover Muscle ups, BL and Felges, but i wonder what is the top of the first course.

I think that would be madness it's going to be the straight arm conditioning that holds you back from a ring PL, and you need to approach this differently.

That said, there are some tools you could take from it. Planche leans are an obvious one, very productive on rings.

Yes, Jon is correct, ring work is counter-intuitive in that it doesn't scale linearly with non-ring work. In other words the next step from FX-PL is not XR-PL. 

You have to start ring work from the very beginning or seriously risk paying the piper. Hence the admonition to start with R1 when it comes out.

Rings 1 is coming out pretty soon. However, if you're impatient to get started (and properly prepared - e.g. have completed F2) you can use Coach's post here as a guide. I'm guessing that the rings course may have more detailed/finer grain progressions, but the same general outline will probably be followed. 

Thanks everyone for the answers.

I've been training hard with the rings since a year and a half, and I can do quite stuffs above, I have clear that Rings courses help me keep progressing and achieve great goals. But my big doubt is whether the first will include many skills I already do.

You are assuming that the ones you already do are being done correctly.  

Yours in Fitness,

Coach Sommer

Of course I don´t realize the exercises flawless but that's always the goal.       

I'm impatient to see which mobility exercises will bring R1 to fix this.

Coach, on another level, have you provided in the future some progression to go from straddle PL to Full PL ?

Anyone know when the pre-order link will be made available very soon so that the moment it is live we just go in and take a gander? (For the impatient students who are almost ready for it )

Also...the cost?
