Coach Sommer Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 New Forum Member's Video Showcases His Ring Strength Development Over the Last Five YearsNew forum member, kolimechkov, is a competitive gymnast in Europe and has a very nice website that I enjoyed browsing and encourage all of you to browse as well. I especially enjoyed a video montage that he had put together that showcased the strength gains he has made on rings from 2003 to 2008. The changes in his physique over this period of time are particularly striking.1kDkySHYKmk Click here to go to his blog.Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hey Levski, can you read any of the text on the website? I'm trying to figure out how old this gent is? At first I thought we was well into his college years but now I'm not too sure. I'm thinking 19 or 20. Impressive indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Duelley Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wow that is an amazing increase in strength, well done! After watching the video I took some time to surf around the site and I found a few training videos and one spot in particular had me a bit confused.Here are the videos I am talking about:http://kolimechkov.hit.bg/video_trainingEN.htmlIn the 'Part 1' video starting at 2:10 he holds the rings in an interesting way. It looks like he sticks his arms through the straps, and it looks like it makes the cross easier for him to do. Could someone elaborate about this grip technique for me, pros, cons or anything? The reason I ask as is that my gym at school (Virginia Tech) has a ring pulley set up thats great but I also want to be able to work my cross progressions at home. And honestly the pulley system + all the weights we have at the gym (not much) is getting to easy but I still cannot do a full cross pull without a spotter (no one to spot at home ).

Blairbob Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Basically, by bracing the ring across his forearm it lightens the load some. Put your feet up on a block and you can train cross pulls with your body piked starting in an L support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 If you go through straps, it makes it easier...Simple as that it's all about physics->imagine like "mega-super" false grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekyloe Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 How do you rig the straps to do that sort of thing? I too, have no spotter, unfortunately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Instead of holding on the inside of the ring, hold on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasquatch Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 SUPPORT RINGS Could you do something like this with the x-treme rings, or would it not work because the straps don't actually attach to the rings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Of course. The straps in the photos above do not attach to the rings either.Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
