Great reminder. I did gymnastics for 14 years (ages 4 to 18) and then got into lifting weights more for bodybuilding after I got beat up as a 16 year old gymnast. Abs survived over 30 minutes of taking punches on and off, but I felt small and wanted to gain a lot of muscle over all--especially legs. I left gymnastics at age 18. But I also left rings behind. This is a great reminder to me to get back to my gymnastics roots. You should do a video on other ways gymnastics equipment or training is something non-gymnasts should do too. I got large lats and arms from gymnastics but didn't think a lot about how that happened. And I've been training my abdominals hard from at least age 6 that I can remember. By age 16 my abs were extremely muscular and I have no body fat so they targeted my abs for their fun. I'm sure it was years of doing hanging leg raises with ankle weights that helped me survive getting beat up. But now want to revisit some gymnastics training I stopped doing. Love your channel btw.
With your gymnastic training why didn’t you choose martial arts over bodybuilding?!? It’s nearly the same skill set! Each training would compliment the other throughout life too - if you avoid getting too deep into competition…
@@zeebest1004 I'm confused on that too. Why not choose to learn how to fight instead? Of course, the answer is to avoid fighting in the first place, but when it's unavoidable, it's better to know some fighting skills.
You should have gone with boxing. Bodybuilding or gymnastics won't help you in a fight. Which is most likely why you got beat up. Which i am very sorry that you did by the way. Now gymnastics is the holy grail of fitness, but being muscular means nothing against a skilled fighter. If i wanted to be muscular, I'd do gymnastics. But if i wanted to avenge myself after getting beat up, I'd do boxing.
I felt no pain in my elbow after switching to Rings, but most of all I felt my back more being worked specifically the lats compared to bars where I can only feel mostly the arm being worked. Ring is literally goated
01:45 Pull up is the most beautifully peformed pull up I've ever seen. I've been training with rings for almost an year and I've never tried this one before. I will make sure to incorporate this in my workout
I train for muscle hypertrophy. In my training, I incorporate barbells, dumbbells, machines, cables, bodyweight exercises etc. I use whatever builds the most muscle. I want to incorporate wide ring pull-ups because I believe they would be a great exercise for the middle-upper back (for sure lats too). Are they more “hypetrophic” than bar pull-ups? What's your opinion on them generally?
In this video Adam mentions the rings activate more muscle fibers because of the instability (or along those lines) For that reason I say yes. More muscle fibers activated = more muscle growth. Im just using logic. Im not a PT
In my opinion, no. Yes they activate more muscles which makes the exercise generally harder for most people (you do less weight or less reps, which hinders hypertrophy results). If you are focusing purely on building muscle in your back and arms, the fixed bar is probably the better option.
@@radoslavstoev4550 You know that the number of reps can easily be increased with more sets? That's not at all a reason to make the fixed bar superior. More muscle activation is definitely the prime muscle builder.
Simply fantastic video. I despise pullups, and despise them even more on rings. Have been stuck on 3 reps x 3 sets for about a year, and not really able to progress.
Hi there! I don't have enough flexibility to do L-sits because I can't bend that way. But my strength is there. Any recommendations for improving flexibility?
I don't have a bar... How can I train front and back lever.??? And sometimes I don't have enough time to train calisthenics and that affect on my progression... Any solutions??
Hello there, I am 31 years old, just started going to the Gym 5 months ago. Now thanks to you I love gymnastics more than Gym, can I still practice and excel at Gymnastics sport at this age? Is it too late? Your thoughts, please. Thank you and have a good evening!
@@GymnasticsMethodReally excited for the video on this topic! I did gymnastics in high school for 3 seasons (around 2012 was the last time I competed) and got back into it at 29 years old. It's definitely doable at this age provided that you properly build up a strong foundation in all the basic movements first!
This dude has an overdeveloped upper body paired with chicken legs. This is why he's elite in doing pull ups. I have really thick calves and quads, which is a lot of dead weight.
I injured my supernator muscle and could barley pu my coffee cup. Still healing. after pull ups on rings. Was it do to hand position or weak joints or something else.
I have not done either really in a very long time. Bar probably a couple years ago. But I am not sure if it was my supernator, or a bicep tendinitis. I still get a little popping in my shoulder and feels like it needs to move back into position. But rings I just bought them and jumped right in. To quickly I am thinking.
Rings would always shift to a position of the least support, and thus unforgivingly reveal weak spots of the ahletic shape.
It makes you stronger 💪
wait, is it not easier as it goes through the optimal path? and you can switch grips mid way?

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing! Gymnastics strength is a great base for sure
@@GymnasticsMethod Gymnastics is the best sport of course.

You got me at the wide ring pull-up. Your technique is the best I've seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing

I like doing pull ups and dips in the rings.I like it more because i dont get weird pain in the middle of my chest or in shoulder and elbows
same video for dips would be great
Absolutely!
Brilliant as always .Bravo Adam.
Thank you!
can you make a video on muscle imbalance and how to fix it?
01:45 Pull up is the most beautifully peformed pull up I've ever seen. I've been training with rings for almost an year and I've never tried this one before. I will make sure to incorporate this in my workout
Thank you! Let’s get it!
@2:40
wouldn't you want to have your wrists move as needed rather than keeping them fixed?
In my experience I prefer to use both during my workouts.
I train for muscle hypertrophy. In my training, I incorporate barbells, dumbbells, machines, cables, bodyweight exercises etc. I use whatever builds the most muscle. I want to incorporate wide ring pull-ups because I believe they would be a great exercise for the middle-upper back (for sure lats too). Are they more “hypetrophic” than bar pull-ups?

Check out the “how to do more pull-ups video”! Keep it up
Thanku
32mm or 28mm ring you use?
How is it, that i can much easier do chest to rings then chest to bar pull ups? I train them both, but chest to bar pull ups are much harder for me…
If you look closely I touch the rings with the side of my chest. It’s a good mark of “chest to bar”

easy keeep reaching towards your toes man. you got tight hamstrings. do knee raises and v tucks
Magyar származású amerikai vagyok, az akcentusod ismerősnek tűnt, majd láttam az “Ember Feletti Erő” könyvet a háttérben 😀
Great video brother. Just up your voice audio a bit
I don't have a bar... How can I train front and back lever.??? And sometimes I don't have enough time to train calisthenics and that affect on my progression... Any solutions??
I train front and back lever exclusively using rings.
@@TheObnoxiousMan also don't have rings🥲... Not available in my state😔
Make time and make things possible. In 2023 anything can be done! Find a way, you got this! 💪💪
Any park with swings, monkey bars, or even benches can be used as training bars.

I’ll just make a video about this 😁

How can i put both of them in my program ? Should i use bat in my strength session and rings in my hypertrophie session ?
Yes that’s a good thought!

Skill issue
Underrated channel 🙌🏻
I appreciate that!

Hoe long did you train pullups on bars before switching to rings.

I still get a little popping in my shoulder and feels like it needs to move back into position. But rings I just bought them and jumped right in. To quickly I am thinking.
What brand rings would you recommend? I want to buy a set of rings
Any bigger brand or good ratings on Amazon
All you need to focus on is getting a good rated wooden rings. And invest in some chalk.
@@GymnasticsMethod can you send a link of the ones you personally use
We love your work Adam!
Brother archer push up or dips best for chest shoulder triceps ?
Dips
Can you recommend something for wrist strengthening prior to doing pull ups? I keep injuring my wrist
Yes, check out the weist stability and mobility videos on the channel please!
@@GymnasticsMethod thanks bud!
0:05 Ah yes, CrossFit where fitness is never crossed beyond the starting line
I was just a joke 😁😄
Very useful 🎉
Glad you think so!
First one
🙏🙏
Thx
Any time
Very excellent video ❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
