What I need is a collection of straight bar (or parallel bar), weighted belt, and weight plates. That's enough for me (for upper body development) Rings for gymnastics girls 🗿
I like how you're experimenting with your video's style, but this one is amazing, with all the up looking shots and it's objectively better than the last one. The super formal, corporate looking one
When I initially started working out with rings my static hold was 30 seconds. Now it’s nearly 2 minutes. If you want to get ripped get a set of rings. I’m 67😊
Dude, I watch your videos almost a decade. And it's amazing how the quality of the videos and the information has improving. I never get tired or bored from the calisthenics exercises, even liking workout with weights, but the mechanic and felling of the bodyweight workout it's Amazing!
Daniel, I harmed my wrist while doing bicep push ups. After two training sessions. It healed for a long time. I'd say bicep pushups require extra wrist mobility and a proper angle in the wrist too
Thank you I'm a beginner calisthenics kid and I do dipps a lot and my chest looks droopy I can't do anything that the internet says but the solution was actually just knees 😅.
I love the rings, especially decline push ups! Say hello to new gains. "They work if you work!" I use some water bottles in my bookbag to increase the challenge. Thanks Daniel for the quality content as always!
The weird thing is I've tried pike pushups a handful of times and every time I ended up with an intensely sore lower chest, zero soreness in upper chest. I must be doing something wrong but who knows what. Best upper chest video I've found yet btw.
Using the scapula is key on hitting the upper chest that's why weights or machines can't hit the upper chest like rings, rings are god tier in chest development
Is there a bennefit to rings vs a straight handled rope variation like a TRX strap or something similar? Seems like all thr bennefits would still be there whether the hand hold were curved or straight, but im genuinely curious.
The pike pushups are great discovery because you can almost do it anywhere with a wall elevating your feet or elevated platform such as stairs and chairs/ books📚 .
Thanks for the video Daniel! I have a question for you or maybe someone from the audience with rings experience: do you recommend the archer version of RTO push-ups for even gains in the upper chest? I’m pretty comfortable with ring archer push-ups but idk if there are any contra indications for the rto version. Thank you!
Dr Mike says that instability reduces the power you can generate. You also mentioned 20% reduction in power. What's exactly the benefit of training with rings? Is it just variety and learning a new skill?
Nice video, Daniel. On the ring push-ups I see you always rotate your arms so that the the crook of the elbow is forward. Why is this? Is it aesthetic (most, not all gymnasts do it as well), or is it a mechanical thing to stress a particular muscle group (if so, which ones)? Or is it ultimately more efficient by bringing certain muscle groups into play? I have tried it and find I can rotate them (though not quite as far) but I find it difficult to do this AND being my hands to meet in the middle - is this a flexibility in the shoulders or is it a strength thing in a muscle group? Thanks in adance.
Late novice early intermediate here . I can't get the desired activation with rings as with bars/ stable surfaces. I use rings as a recovery tool when joints are hurting but nothing more than that . Unfortunately.
Are Deficit Bulgarian Push Ups good for upper chest or overall chest development? Considering the way you flare your elbows or is it a good way to progress to Chest Flys
When you show the ring flys, it seems like your chest stretches differently on the right, probably a muscle imbalance? Anyways I have the same issue how do we fix it
Where do I placed these rings in my 1 room apartment? I am a novice, I can barely do 5 pushups, I tend to start by doing girl pushups and advance from there, but i got a big upper chest deficit, how should I start?
Nothing I do targets my chest. Not push ups, not incline push ups, nothing. All I ever get i s pain and/or ache in my shoulders that stops me from continuing an exercise because 1 person says do it this way, another will say do it that way. Retract shoulders, don't retract. Keep them retracted. I have tried using rings to do push ups and no matter how deep I go it never hits my chest. Yes, I am a beginner in calisthenics and have been doing it for a few months and have not got anywhere closer to accomplishing a push up, a pull up, nothing. I have tried to consult calisthenic trainers here but they are all saying different things and charge a ridiculous amount of money because they think they are 'all that' and never take into account that people have different sizes, different appendage proportions. I have longer arms because I am 6'2" and 180lbs. So retracting my shoulders fully is difficult for me. All I want to do is to get the basics down. I do not want to keep throwing money for memberships that are useless to me. Very frustrating.
Man i understand. Im 6’1 and i got long arms too. I used to struggle a LOT with activating my chest-it was always my triceps and MAYBE shoulders that got the tension. I saw an animation of the relationship between where your arms are placed under your and which muscles were used most (the further forward, the more triceps. The further back, the more shoulders. Being straight up and down was where the animation depicted peak chest activation) so i checked my form and tried to keep my arms as perpendicular to the floor as possible, and it worked for me. I keep my hands mostly pointed outward so my elbows dont flare, and I also sometimes use two equal stacks of books to put my hands on so i can go deeper and get more stretch. Maybe it will work for you, maybe it wont. If it doesn’t, play around with it and you will eventually do the thing that makes it click in your head. Good luck bro
Isn't muscle-up a superior and more comprehensive workout for the chest muscles, engaging both the upper and lower portions to varying degrees? 🤔 (If someone is looking for a more compound, and time-efficient exercise?)
The lateral head of the shoulder is responsible for moving the arm away from the body in the same plane of it, so isn't employed in any pushing (front delt) or pulling (rear delt) exercise, nor there exists an effective bodyweight exercise to target that head specifically, maybe with the exception of side planks.
@@robertocozzi7306 it it is right , even though many trainers, in several occasions, comes out with a very ingenious solution just like ge showed in this video with the hand twist... as i said... it would be great to have an innovative video of a posible solution... greetings
There is one God, who created Heaven and Earth. He made us in His image and likeness. He made us to worship and we chose to rebel against God. As a result we are seperated from God but God didn’t leave us. Instead God sent His one and only Son, His Son is Jesus. He was born of a virgin and lived a life without sin, though He was tempted in every way as we are. He went on the cross and He willingly took our sins past, present and future. Jesus died in my place for my sins, paying my debt to God and purchasing my salvation. Jesus died but He rose on the third day victory over satan, sin, demons and hell. Jesus tells us to share this story of the Good News and there’s a God that lovingly pursues us. Jesus is coming to judge the living and the dead and those who trust in God will forever be with Him in His Kingdom and those who do not will suffer forever in hell.
You can push harder by going 10seconds down then push up fast. When making the eccentric phase longer, you gonna make the concentric phase harder. Works fine. I get really swollen muscles from this way. No added wheights.
Side delts are very hard to hit with bodyweight. Hybrid workouts are the way to go, worth compromising over. Grab some weights and do side lateral raises.

Straight facts right there. Rings are powerful for making the classic compounds stimulating due to instability.
"If you don't have rings, shame on you" Truer words have never been spoken

@@tugsatbaris That's what someone who can't do a support hold would say
Love my rings! As he stated, rings are next level.
Exercises that work my upper chest best are
- Decline Diamond Push Ups
- Decline Archer Push Ups
- (Feet) Incline Prowler Push Ups
Does diamond activate your chest though or really your triceps ?
The pecs being shortened into adduction on diamond push-ups makes for nasty contractions and pumps.
@@FitnessFAQs thank you !!
Get rings it's a game changer
@@miquebts that’s hopefully my plan I’m a beginner now that I haven’t done anything calistetic in like years the most I can do is a 20 second l sit
Beautifully made video and extremely vividly explained with clarity 🔥🔥 Keep on making more videos like this Daniel 💪🏻
Been doing rings for months now, and it's legendary

A lot of great information here. Great video. I especially love the calisthenics body building videos.
Thank you very much, Daniel. You are great
Thank you for the information brother can't wait try those exercises in my next workout
Excellent video! I’d love to see one just like this but focuses on the lower chest. I think getting that carved is more difficult. At least for me.
They work, if you work. Excellent.
A great holistic video. Very well put together!
Thank you I'm a beginner calisthenics kid and I do dipps a lot and my chest looks droopy I can't do anything that the internet says but the solution was actually just knees 😅.
Do a video on injury recovery( rotator cuff and shoulder impinchment mainly)
Go with a professional
Great video sir thank you so much..🙏💫

Looking absolutely huge recently Daniel
Agreed i commented about that recently. He growed so much since 2 3 years ago. İnsane at that level..
Thanks mate. Finally eating at a calorie surplus and progressively overloading my calisthenics + weights.

Pain is weakness leaving the body.
What's the difference between ring push-ups and ring flys ? Is it the way we spread our arms ? Awesome video btw 🔥🔥
Oh yeah looking again I realize I've been doing chest flys instead of push-ups all along lol
Late novice early intermediate here . I can't get the desired activation with rings as with bars/ stable surfaces. I use rings as a recovery tool when joints are hurting but nothing more than that . Unfortunately.
What if i do reverse grip decline push ups
I train with Rings only outdoor, how can I get that elevated surface to do incline push ups? Any tips?
Try elevating your feet using a chair
Bro, deberías tener un canal en español como Athlean-X. Saludos
Hey Dan what is verve? Is it a brand of equipment?
My legs shake so much during decline pushups
What rings do you use?
More importantly how do you keep excess ring strap tidy?

for a strange reason, olimpic athlets, and calisthenic pros are not creating full lateral shoulders... could you make a video about it?
The lateral head of the shoulder is responsible for moving the arm away from the body in the same plane of it, so isn't employed in any pushing (front delt) or pulling (rear delt) exercise, nor there exists an effective bodyweight exercise to target that head specifically, maybe with the exception of side planks.

Ring face pulls and flies target the medial delts very good
Calisthenics compound exercises aren't directly isolating the lateral delts. Bodybuilding work is needed to fill the gaps.
Explain the form in a more beginner friendly way please. If possible from 0
It's same on me
How to set up rings 🙂
I use my pull up bar
Get adjustable straps, find a sturdy tree branch, basement joist or pull-up bar. Crank out reps 💪
Where do you put rings like?
Pull up bars
@@satoru862 thank you, I thought you’d have to drill into the ceiling or something.
what if the incline is higher than 30cm
Starts to become more anterior delt dominant.
Would trx work as well as rings?
10-20 sets sounds like way too much volume 😮
Per week it's not that difficult. Two chest exercises for 3 sets done twice per week = 12
whats up with the weird commenters?
