False Grip Rings vs Standard Rings

Gymnastic Bodies sells the Xtreme Rings 28mm or 1.1", Rogue sells Standard Rings 1.25" or FIG 1.1" (FIG = International Gymnastics Federation)

MDUSA sells both Standard Rings 1.25" and False Grip Rings 1 7/8"

False Grip Rings have a significantly wider thickness of 1 7/8-inch.  

Just curious if anyone has a preference between ring sizes. Thanks!

if you remember what brand you bought please share as well.

Always purchase regular diameter rings.  

And no, having bigger hands does not necessitate using a bigger ring.  The Olympic lifting heavyweights all manage to do just fine with a standard 28mm bar; which is actually just slightly smaller than the standard ring diameter.
