How to perform Bodyweight Ring Dip with proper form
Starting Position
- Grip: Grab the rings and press up to a straight-arm support, hands at your sides.
- Rings: Turn the rings out so your palms face forward at the top.
- Body: Lean slightly forward, brace your core, and keep your legs together.
Movement
-
Lowering Phase:
- Bend your elbows to lower your body under control.
- Keep your elbows tucked close to your torso, not flaring wide.
- Lower until your shoulders drop below your elbows.
-
Raising Phase:
- Press through your palms to drive back up to straight arms.
- Turn the rings back out and lock out at the top.
- Keep the rings pulled in tight to your body throughout.
Key Points
- Fight to keep the rings from drifting away from your sides - that wobble is the exercise.
- Keep a slight forward lean to bias the chest and protect the shoulders.
- Do not shrug; keep your shoulders pulled down away from your ears.
