Here's a rare look at a long-time staple in my #ringTraining: decline weighted #ringPushUps. This is BW+25x18, and at this angle, my body puts 145 on my hands in the bottom position--so 165 total and for two sets. This had been my back-off intensity for BW+65x9 before the deficit really set in.

Jesus, finished up the day with a 75x18 #wristCurls PR, and that puts me right on the doorstep of intermediacy after only a month training those and #fingerCurls (which are only two reps behind) twice a week. Not too surprising given my proclivity to false grip on most of my #ringtraining.

I've been mixing in the traditional #tricepsExtensions on rings once in a while as a test of my development on #bridgeExtensions, but I had been lacking something more like a pushdown and hadn't kept up with #JMpress. This, however, should cover that need and be plenty adaptable for #ringtraining.

"Back" #hypertrophies ten years later. All #ringtraining and #barbelltraining and only a couple years of doing anything at all resembling #bodybuilding.

Twisted ring #facePulls (single-arm, across the body), a movement so obvious I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it sooner and am embarrassed for all those doing #ringTraining and #calisthenics who also never thought to try it. I don't even feel like offering further explanation it's so obvious.

I guess I'm already going to be doing these #ringCurls from a decline, as I'm damn-near getting 20s from a horizontal position. Just been doing them weighted from an incline for so long that I hadn't known how that would carry over to unweighted work until today.
Gawdamn love me some #ringTraining.

Stay tuned, I believe I just invented a new #tricepsIsolation movement for #ringTraining, and it's way easier on the elbows than #tricepsExtensions but with a near-identical stretch. Plus it's quite difficult even without weight, though also trivial to load if desired--also doable with a rope.

Yet another lesser known #ringTraining movement that I'm taking to. Seriously, if you can rep out #invertedShrugs on rings for upwards of 20, you're very likely accomplishing the equivalent of an upper-intermediate or advanced level of shrugging with equivalent free-weight.

Snatchin' up them #hypertrophies about a month after the meet. Just #ringTraining (mostly #weightedCalisthenics) and #barbellTraining (mostly #powerlifting and a dash of #weightlifting) all rolled together into my particular flavor of performance-based #bodybuilding (i.e., #performanceBodybuilding).

Why is no one doing #reverseCurls on rings? I only just thought to try it, myself, and find it infinitely better on rings than with a bar, though they're not easy, which probably somewhat explains it (I imagine some would have almost as hard a time with these as pelican curls). #ringTraining

So I've been trying to keep much of my #ringtraining through this #powerlifting prep, and pull-ups have taken priority in order to retain dynamic pulling along the shoulder and elbow, but they still had to take a back seat and took a hit, but I've just gotten back on track with sets of BW+45x7.

So far so good on my first week of this #powerlifting prep. Got a solid 325x5x5 on #squat (been a while since my knee would tolerate 5x5) and banging out some mean fahves on #closeGripBench at 190. Still got some #SLDL at 325 and some developmental #ringTraining yet, then two days rest'll be callin'

One of the best features of #ringTraining is the extent of the biceps recruitment, either incidentally or purposefully; they're really just in their element on rings. This is a pretty comprehensive overview of that feature from a #bodybuilding perspective:

... Hence why I took up #barbellTraining and proceeded into more advanced calisthenics training modalities like #ringTraining and #weightedCalisthenics. While I spent the bulk of the intervening years with fairly uneven progress, it set me up for the last two years of solid and consistent progress.

Hit a new milestone with #ringDips in my #ringTraining today. I only just bumped the weight up to 75lb and managed seven reps with that. Then I followed up with my usual unweighted backoff sets needing 90+ reps over three sets which I exceeded to finish strong with a 35 rep set...

#hypertrophies are coming along--all #barbell and #ringTraining. Still need to get better at capturing that progress for my records.

230 was the most I had ever managed for singles on #benchPress, and I've just now done it for doubles, as ordered. Once again, I really only have my #ringTraining (push-ups, dips, triceps extensions, and flys--purely developmental) to which I can soundly attribute this progress through intermediacy.

Incidentally, 225 is also the most I've ever benched for doubles, but that should kick up to at least 235 here within the next few weeks. I'm still only benching once every nine days for no more than five rep sets, so I attribute this progress largely to my #ringTraining (weighted and isolations).

Wow, rollouts so far seem a promising addition to my #ringtraining, but I'm not finding them especially challenging for the abs so much as the lats, which was my target for inclusion anyhow (like pullovers). I'm already doing high reps from the kneeling but may just add weight to that for a while.

So for most of my weighted #ringtraining I use a weighted vest loaded with Olympic plates (specifically, Kensui), and I'm currently up to loading my incline pushups with fifty pounds of plates for higher reps...
