Jeff Walker Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 So what is the size that I should train with 1.11in or 1.25in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The official size of a competitive gymnastics ring is 1.1in which is 27.94mm or basically 28mm. The official size of a competitive mens olympic lifting bar is 28mm. Note that the largest super heavy weight olympic lifter competes with the same 28mm bar as the smallest weight class. Larger athletes do not compete with larger diameter bars. The same rule applies to gymnastics ring size. The urban myth of needing a larger diameter ring for larger athletes is simply something that has been propogated by the uninformed. The size of the athlete has nothing to do with the size of the ring used. Get the 1.1in. Yours in Fitness, Coach Sommer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
