Ryan Hutchins Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Sorry if this already exists but the search tool sucks. I have my freestanding HS all day. Now I'm taking it to the rings. I have been working at this for a while. I can hold it shoulders pressed out and feet on the inside now. Do I just keep going at it this way or is there a better progression or training advice that would expedite my proficiency in Ring HS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hopefully, you've already mastered the handstand on PB. You can also use or build a ring rocker PB HS which is a similar to a set of PB, except the bottom half is a half circle/oval so that it rocks back and forth. Other than that just a lot of practice. I focus on really extending my legs on the straps and then taking one leg off at a time and then together. However, a spot would probably be better. Sometimes I can self-spot if the rings are off a high bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hutchins Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thx... I'll try the leg thing. As far as Pbar rockers go I'll have to find a cheap way of making some. Right now I use ring straps attached to the high bar. That works best for me right now. As far as strength goes these ring handstands are so tough that after a few 30 second holds I can no longer extend my shoulders or even keep my shoulder angle open. I'll keep at it. How frequent and for how long should I train this a week Blairbob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Van Bockxmeer Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 wow that thing looks sick!when I can get normal HS down properly I will make one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hutchins Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Well I found my answer. In BTGB Coach says that His coach made him hold 30 minutes of ring HS a day!!!!!Beastmode...... Activate! Tho I think I'll start with 5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yep. As with most small gymnastics equipment and apparatus. Most can be made a lot cheaper than what you'd pay for them. It's just getting around to making it that can be a pain. Or getting all the tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsoncross Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I've always wondered...what do you do when you're in a HS on the rings and you start falling forwards? I tried doing a hs on my pushup bars the other day, and then I started falling forward and one bar went flying somewhere and I nearly crashed lol. It was scary.

Crimsoncross Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Note: the pushup bars were in a horizontal position, not in a vertical one like parallel bars, so that made it very difficult to balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 A HS on a single rail is much harder to balance on. That's why I'm so amazed of Giouseppe the Wonder Kid doing partial ROM HSPU on a single rail at his age. As for HS on rings? Well, hopefully you can try bending your arms and lowering to a shoulderstand but you best know how to roll out of the shoulderstand or you are gonna be buggered. If the rings are low, hopefully you have something to land on besides floor. If they are on high rings...well, :roll: :shock: :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 High rings, fall over and land on your feet, or more preferable fall and land on your back in a landing pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just do long swing :wink: If you know how if not, then better not try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
