Hi all I'm new to the forums... moving on...

How much harder is the handstand in the rings compared to a freestanding one.

haha, I'm guessing it would take incredible balance... On a floor handstand you distribute your weight onto your hands, and balance from palms to fingertips... On rings, it will be all on your wrists!

Much much harder.

For example, take the stability difference in 'normal dips' and 'ring dips'.

Normal dips are not hard at all to balance, but ring dips already require some balance and your muscles work hard to stabilize!

Then, imagine handstands on rings, while handstands are already hard to balance the 'normal' way!
