Ring Push-Up

A push-up performed on gymnastic rings, increasing the demand on stabilizers in the chest, shoulders, and core.

How to do it

1. Set the rings just above floor height.
2. Grip the rings and assume a plank position with arms straight.
3. Lower the chest toward the rings, keeping the elbows close to the body.
4. Press back up to full arm extension.
5. Repeat for the prescribed reps.

Tips

• Keep the rings turned out at the top to engage the chest.
• Brace the core — the rings will magnify any wobble.
• Drop to knees to scale the difficulty.
