Been doing your beginner and intermediate ring workouts for about the past 6 months. I have gained so much upper body strength and mass, around 8-10 pounds of new muscle mass. I'm turning 51 in February and I'm the strongest I've ever been in my life. I LOVE the rings!! Thanks so much for the amazing tutorials, keep 'em comin'!! : )
Love rings. Never knew they could be so good. Im 2 months in w rings. Really like how body is feeling and looking. Shoulder feels beat in years bc of rings. On to the muscle up!
I've just started rock climbing and my friend got my onto the rings, i have trained in gyms since 18 ( now 33) and im very bored of it all. Transitioning into the rings was insane how i could feel every little muscle fiber activating it made me realise all the weaknesses i had plus sparked a passion for me to actually start exercise that i enjoy. So im not transitioning more into Rock climing / ring work and mountain biking. Excited to start a new fitness chapter and make some progress.
Dusted off the rings and hung them back up this week because I’ve let things go recently. Went back to this older Strength Side video because honestly no one else on the internet is as inspirational when it comes to the rings.
Josh, I just bought a set of rings. You've inspired me to embark on this physical journey and mental challenge that is the gymnastic rings. You're tutorials are incredibly well done (I like when you narrate your exercises off camera with soothing music in the background) and you layout the progressions from beginner to expert so clearly. Thank You! Most of all, I love being able to get to you know through your videos; your happy and positive persona shines through every one of your videos. My only regret was I did not find your content earlier. Please keep up the good stuff and you will continue to help hundreds of thousands of people like me!!
I discovered your channel about 1 month ago. Today I received some rings that I bought online. I never done something like this before, neither I used rings. This is though, but I have the confidence that I will get there, and the most important thing is I can see your vids to gain more knowledge about this matter. Gracias from Argentina!
Ive been training on the rings for about 2-3 months and I finally have the strength to the negative RMU. I know it doesn’t sound like much but im really proud😄. All i need to do now is to nail that damn transition!
Have been doing rings since couple of months now, using your beginner routine. Proper strength and muscle gains. Who would have thought in my 40s. Now feel ready to start working on the muscle ups. Shoulders feel better than ever. Thanks duderino.
Awesome:)thanks for videos. I do 5 muscle up on the rings at a time because of your videos:))I definitely recommend do not do muscle up too frequency in the beginning. The first step in this journey is to strengthen the ligaments of the shoulders.
first week on the rings and they’ve opened up a whole new world of working out for me. Glad I found your channel, it’s given me perspective and light. Much love brother🤙🏽
Thanks for the videos. I saw the primal movement the other day and you got my attention. Just got a pull up/dip station yesterday and starting up my gains immediately!
Thanks, Joshua, I am now making the transition from Intermediate to this routine... looking forward to my first muscle-up. Love your videos man, keep 'em coming! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Hi ! Great sensitive job throughout the channel :) hey, how would you scale the RMU negative (feet on ground, different feet position, feet on box, band...) ? Good on you !
Hi Josh. Thank you for the videos on the rings. There is a set of rings at my gym that I have started using and completed the skin the cat.. Will use your workout to try and head towards the muscle up.
Hey Josh, been meaning to say for ages how I got my first muscle up after watching this video. It was ugly, but I still got it. That was last autumn, I slowly improved, but would still drop down from them really fast and hurt my elbows. Really limited my progress. Then a month or so ago I came back to this video and worked out how to do controlled negatives. Since then much less elbow pain. Now I can do 3-4 reps in a row and getting better consistently. Thanks Josh. I had watched loads of other muscle up videos before which just didn't help. Now, any tips on the bar muscle up???
The Muscle-Up Eccentric - I’ve been attempting this movement for about a month now, however, I can’t transition from the bottom of the dip to the rings being in front of my chest. Do you guys have any assistive exercise recommendations that I can do, in order to build up to this movement. Any and all help appreciated. Love your videos, Josh, you’re awesome mate. Much love ❤️
Finally finally finally, I have been waiting for video since forever. Thanks for doing it everyone teaches differently but I like the way you teach it in such a zen way. Is there any sudden flipping your body to get to the muscle up as I have seen others teach it?
hey ... my english is not so good but i will try to explain what i want to know ... I started watching your videos and following your workouts, I'm finding it very good! But, Can you say a little more about your diet? I use fasting and calorie counting and it works very well, I got to 7% fat and I want to know what your method is because you stick to what looks like 8% or less fat being very flexible, and I'm having a problem getting At such a low fat percentage because of constant hunger, I am always putting refeeds. The point is, I'm short and light and I'm afraid of going out of a defict eating big 2 meals without counting the exact calories, I want to be more flexible, and not counting calories, what do you do? thanks!
I got muscle up on my 2nd every ring training lol idk how i did it and now after almost 2 weeks i can rep 5 muscle ups and i can even do a slow one now
Progressive over load on pull ups only focusing for a 3 months getting up to 15kg easy clean 5 reps enabled me to achieve 3 in a row. Only 1 weighted session a week, and the other days focus on slow pull ups +wide. Train 3x a week no more
@@Strengthside bro i have got my 1st ring muscle up yesterday with great form and full control.. cant believe man..feeling top of the world😀 Thanks for all the tips and motivation man🙏👍
@@Strengthside not on IG bro.. but i have it on my FB page.. not sure if i should leave a link here. Dont want to promote myself on your channel bro😀. Anyways keep motivating bro🙏👍
Ryan Shaughnessy heck yeah! Mines bothered me so bad I couldn’t even shoot a basketball because the pain would hurt If i lifted my arm up in that position. My tendonitis bothered me when I did pushing exercises. I took a break on the upper body workouts for about two weeks but while I did that I worked on building my grip and forearm strength up. Found videos on here. I will say due to my hardheadedness I did do some push workouts like chest fly, lateral raises and Tricep push downs because those didn’t bother my elbow Light weight high reps. But I couldn’t bench, shoulder press, or any skull crushers. Videos on RUclips and articles say the pain can stem from the shoulder or your grip/forearm 🤷🏾♀️ not sure. I just didn’t want to pay for physical therapy. During that time I iced my elbow and took OTC pain meds that helped with inflammation before bed so my body could heal. Did foam/tennis ball rolling on my elbows. Once that didn’t bother me doing every day activities I bought elbow straps. Those saved my life. I also have lifting straps so I’m not irritating my forearm or hands doing heavy back workouts because that can cause elbow irritation too. I do experience the joint soreness but it’s not as severe as it was a few months ago. I actually recovered faster than I thought i would but it’s because I listened to my friends say “do not do any exercises that causes you pain or eventually it may hurt so bad you cant even open a water bottle” 😳😳 I tried and still try to put turmeric on a lot of my foods. I take join medicine. Turmeric/collagen powder in my smoothies. Tumeric pills. And I try to eat natural foods that help with inflammation and joint health. If it hurts it’s your body telling you to stop so don’t work through that pain. Find alternatives
I had to get the 2nd attempt on that tree 😀 instagram.com/thestrengthside/
I see the basketball hops man!
@@JumpRopeVeteran haha trying!
what if im to weak to even hold my bodyweight using false grip what the solution?

I really enjoyed your ring playlist. I will incorporate the basic exercises in my full body work out. Keep up the good work.
That like button was smashed!! The muscle up us something I want to be able to get to in the next 6 months. Thanks for the vid brotha! Stay strong.
definitely achievable! Keep working
Hey, I'm gonna start the journey this weekend
Thanks for the videos. I saw the primal movement the other day and you got my attention. Just got a pull up/dip station yesterday and starting up my gains immediately!
Hell yes! take it slow, no rush!
Starting this amazing work out this week. Thanks so much. 🙏🏼✨✨✨

Thanks brother. I nailed it consistently a few hours ago at the gym. I gave you a shout-out. Your tutorials have helped me tremendously!
Appreciate that bro! Now... time for doubles, then triples!
@@Strengthside, no doubt brother! I appreciate your content and your support!
Hi Josh. Thank you for the videos on the rings. There is a set of rings at my gym that I have started using and completed the skin the cat.. Will use your workout to try and head towards the muscle up.
Saving this and starting tomorrow!
Thanks josh. Namaste
Amazing place broder!
Thanks for the hints! Have to work on the false grip and dips... Will report in 2 years ;)
Thank you so much!

Nice slow muscle up bro. My goal is the one minute muscle up. 30 sec raise/lower phase :) I'll be trying the workout out!
Ha that's a grinder!
Perfect body achieved
Beautiful video brother! Thank you for sharing the knowledge! I’ll be working on it. Wish me luck!

not in a "strict muscle up" . It comes all from the shoulders and spine. no kipping!
Where is this? Looks beautiful man. Also: Thanks for helping out!
Rad playground dude. Those are some gnarly macrocarpas
I love the music you always choose.
What is it called?

Nice video. I am not at that level just yet. But I will get there!
you will get there!
Have you ever experienced sternum pain doing dips with the rings turned out movement?
Stretch your chest that helped me
Started the ring dip today. I shit you not, I was wobbling like a piece of Jell-O
Still struggling with false grip😔 though its much better than when i first started.. Hopefully one day🙂
It's such a process! Keeps getting better as long as you train it to

Anyone ever had any problems with elbow tendonitis? Struggling with this at the moment from pull ups, looking for any tips.

Also keep in mind studies say meats cause inflammation so if you’re a meat eater, as I am, kinda back off on the red meats
Liv - cheers for the reply and tips, appreciate it!
