Building the body for rings

not necessary, you can more workout per week, it much more depends on your trainig volume and yours capabilitys.

And I am not world class (that means to be in finals in world and europeanchapionship), but I hope I will be someday

You WILL be world class!

The volume and frequency of your training has taught me a lot about how to structure my training, and it is helping I have to do a bit less volume because I am A) heavy, and B) not as conditioned as you, yet I will get there though! How should I start practicing the swinging stuff? I have no idea how to begin swinging on the rings.

Thanks! Gregor, have you ever had problems with tendonitis when building your planche and swallow?

No.

I was talking about military presses with weight but maybe it's better doing HSPU with a weighted vest.

Military press is completly diffrent execrise and it is for shoulders. HSPU is primarly for triceps.

Presses have the same motion of HSPU

I said military press because it was the more similar exercise I knew the name, sorry.

Yes I know it has a same motion, but in the military press you mainly press with shoulders in Hspu not.

I probably wont post a video today, although I made a movie but....I have a problems with my eyes, so I had to jump down from rings before dismount becuse I didn't see anything on my right eye. So routine wasn't good, I noticed bluryness at first hold and from bad to worse...

Now, I'm going to the doctor to get some antibiotics.

That sucks man, hope you get better soon!

Thanks.

Edit: I got some antibiotics and eye drops.....

What happened with your eyes? Any diagnosis?

I don't know what happend, but it is infection....

First routine done after one week time....It's slightly better but far from ok.

First good training after almost two week time due to my eye infection.
