Progression from here?

[Guest jawbkk]

OK, had rings for two weeks now...

Can do 10 good controlled pull-ups.

Can do 4 setx of 7 reps controlled dips (full range) bur can do 5 sets of 6 reps with 40kg round my waist on normal dip bars.

Can hold support position for 45s

Do quite a few skin the cats

4 sets of 6 l-sit pull-ups

3 sets of 3 reps 'ring-flyes' with my feet propped up on a high chair, arms straight, hold for 2s in horizontal position then return to centre (tough)

a kind of handstand press where I have my feet on the high chair with body in piked position with back vertical then do 5 sets of 6 reps with rings about 12" off the floor so get full range with head almost touchig the floor.

I also do 4 sets of 15s on paralettes in an L-sit position.

Could anyone advise me what I am ready fro next? I want to gain as much strength and skill on the rings but also on dip bars.

I have never attempted a handstand yet.

Perhaps need some basic routine on rings to combine things?

Cheers for any help..... so much good stuff on this forum I don't know which way to go!!

You have a good strength foundation. Now you should learn muscle ups (do slow negatives) and starting lever training. Try shoulderstand for time before handstand.

thanks Filipe, what is a shoulderstand?

Start working on MU and HSPU progressions. Look at the rings routines on the gymnasticbodies page on youtube. Start playing with the different dip variations on rings and bars.
