Ring Dips
A compound upper body exercise focused on pushing strength, primarily targeting the triceps.
Instructions
- Adjust the rings to the proper height, making sure they are stable and secure.
- Grip the rings with your palms facing inward and hoist yourself up so your arms are straight, supporting your weight.
- Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body, until your shoulders are below your elbows.
- Push back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Flaring elbows outwards instead of keeping them close to the body.
- Not going low enough, i.e., shoulders not going below elbows.
- Swinging or losing stability, which affects balance and form.
- Not keeping core engaged throughout the movement.
