Hinge Row RC/PE1 rings

Hi all!

I have just bought foundation 1.

I see that the exercise hinge row RC/PE1 is performed with rings. Unfortunately I do not own rings. Can I have a different equipment, or replace this exercise in other way?

Thank you!

Rings aren't necessary for this exercise , but you should get them because the first PEs prepare you for a more advanced rings work IMO.

TRX is a good alternative. Another option is doing Hinge Rows in a smith machine by adjusting the bar's height.

OK thanks a lot. I imagined that buying some rings would be extremly useful. I do not know anything about rings. in my gym there is a Smith machine, it is possible to loop them at the smith machine bar? Or I have to loop them somewhere else?

Nope the rings. Sorry lt looks like an idiot question. ... I mean, it is possibile to set rings height?

not possible to use smith machine for this eexecise, but you can hang rings on smith machine

Or use straps around a hanging bar

What equipment will I need?
Here is a list of the ideal equipment, with some suggestions for alternatives listed below.

1. A sturdy box or bench high enough that you can lie with your feet hanging down at 90 degrees. You will also need some way to anchor your feet on this; ring straps work very well, but weights, a partner or stall bars can also be used.

2. A pullup bar capable of supporting your weight

3. Adjustable dumbbells for mobility work
- Dumbbells provide the most versatility, however forum members have used kettlebells, water jugs, stones, bricks and more.

4. Access to stall bars
- Any surface at the right height can stand in for stall bars. A sturdy playground ladder is a perfect substitute, however it is also possible to perform many drills on a bench, vertical pole, or even a kitchen sink.

5. Rings
- Rings provide the most versatility and will be required later. For Foundation 1 work, it is possible to substitute with any kind of strap, rope or belt which can be looped over the bar.

6. A heavier weight, ideally an Olympic barbell
- Some drills allow for more resistance. A kettlebell, heavier dumbbell, or even a willing friend may be used for these drills.

7. Floor space
- Tiles or hardwood are not ideal for some drills; a yoga mat can help to make these more comfortable.

Most FIG standard gymnastic rings would most likely work, however me personally, If I don't have Rings yet, I would wait a few extra days since GymnasticBodies Xtreme Rings have finished re-production and are in stock very soon
