HI Geoff, for sure you need to use longer straps at the point where at the bottom position you need to bend the knees do not touch, this will increase the difficulty of the exercise. be sure to lock out at the top and hold the position for 1-2''. try to avoid opening the rings to the side when stepping back to support position.

Alessandro Mainente

Personally i find that there is a lot of shaking here. Are you able to hold the support position for 1 minute?

Geoff Coppola

I think so. Do you want to see it immediately after I’ve finished my 5th set of dips? Or do you want to see it after I’ve rested for a couple minutes? 

Everett Carroll

After your 5th set, please. 

Alessandro Mainente

HI Geoff, can I have please a side view?

Everett Carroll

1. Nice effort. Keep working hard like this. 

2. Be sure you lock out your elbows completely at the top of each rep and pause before lowering to ensure it's solid. 

3. Focus on maintaining more scapular depression, especially on your left.  

Alessandro Mainente

Hi Geoff the analysis of Everett is ok. now, i need to add that the movement is not symmetrical, at this point of imbalances you need to fix FIRST this problem, then move back to rings.
