I THINK THE LAST REP IS THE BEST ONE, I WAS AT THE FIRST ATTEMPT...

Good effort, but not quite. Your variation is closer to an upright tricep extension than a russian dip.

The shoulders should be much further back behind the elbows. In addition the shoulders will eventually need to descend to horizontal making them even with the rings.

usually russian dips on 2 supports are easy for me this is more changelling, i very appreciate Your tip, maybe balancing the body with leg in l-sit position i possible to do it.

now that i think i hear that the triceps work more than the other muscles!!!

thank you
