Ring Dip form check

Hi fellow gymnasts,

Did my first set of Ring Dips.  How is my form?  I know I'm shaking a bit.  But is form good enough to go to the next 5x1r?  Or do I fix this in the current progression (3x1r)?  Any tips to remain still and steady?

I don't have Parallel Bars.  At least not really tall ones that go up to my armpits.  So unable to the earlier progressions such as Single Bar dips or the Korean Dips.  

Thanks every so much!

Hi Arif, from my pov it is too early to move to this variation...can't you use a couple of chairs for the regular dip? the main issue here is that you a re loosing dome depression when you reverse the movement.

Hey, thanks Alessandro.

I do have these regular dip bars (don't have the tall Parallel bars).  I'm quite comfortable doing regular dips.  I can probably do 15 in a set.  Could you suggest what would be a good progression for me to do, to get to Ring Dips?

Warmly,
Arif

Ps. Alessandro, thank you so VERY much for being active in these forums and helping out!  REALLY appreciate it!

hey Arif, i have noticed from your history post that you have never pot a form check so i'd like to see your dips execuion on the normal parallel bars first. a st of 10 is enough.

Will do, Coach Alessandro! 
My bars are short so I would be leaning forward and doing it with bent knees, something like this guy.

I've got my Upper body Workout scheduled on Thursday.  Will record and post it then. 

Cheerio!

Hello Alessandro,

Here are my Dips on a regular dip bar.  I also recorded another set of Ring Dips, felt stronger this time.

This particular dip bar that i'm using is short.  It's just 71 cms. 

If it will help with progressions I can buy a slightly taller one that's 91 cm like this.  But these are still woefully short to do Single Bar dips.  My arm pit to the ground is 140 cm.

Thanks for you help, Alessandro!

Warmly,

Arif

Hi Arif, can you notice that you are moving a lot your torso durnig the movement? you should strive to be more stable.

Thanks Alessandro!  
So if I understand you correctly, I can continue with the Ring-dips.  I don't need to go back a progression.  However, should work on stabilising my Torso.  Is that correct?

Warmly,

Arif

COnsider that the russian dip variation can be completed (as i did) also on your equipment.

Got it, so Russian L Dips, first to stabilise my Torso first.  Will do that Alessandro.

Dear Alessandro,

I'm unable to do the Russian L Dips.  I just collapse.  And I don't have parallel bars tall enough to do the regular Russian Dips.  Is there any other progression you can advise to get to the Russian L Dips?  Those that I can do on my shorter Parallel bars.

Thanks as always for your amazing help!

Hey guys!

Thanks so much for the guidance Alessandro and Awais!  Sorry for the late reply.  I was travelling and just the alert in my forum post.

Awais, your video did the trick.  I can do it using my existing Parallel bars!  And Damn you look good doing that Russian Dip!  I guess you must have progressed WAY BEYOND that by now.  Which progression are you on?

Love & warm wishes,

Arif
