PROGRESSIONS!!!!!

[Joshua Naterman]

ok my question is about hand placement on the rings during any exercise, I read in a post somewhere that your arm should not be touching straps OR RINGS. I find it very very difficult to perform even dips without touching rings. Is this correct form though because if it is I have earned a hugggggggge respect for rings.

Eventually you will just barely be brushing the rings, there won't be any real pressure. It is much, much harder than dips on bars. When I was doing 10 reps pretty easy with +100 lbs, I could barely do 5 good ring dips with +60 lbs and I had a little pressure on the straps. It is considerably more difficult to do most things on top of the rings.
