Thank you!!!! I appreciate your thorough explainations. I researched which rings to buy and thought I made a great choice, but the setup instructions in the box and online, were awful! I'm a researcher, and I never found any ring setup description as straightforward as your descriptions in this video :)
Thanks Ryan, I love this video. My rings came with no instructions about the velcro and it is not mounted on the strap, so I always thought it was to hold the strap when keeping them in the closet. It is also a relief to know that you must feel how even your rings are, I wasted a lot of time getting them to look perfectly even.
Nice to know what that's for, isn't it? :) Doesn't matter how the rings *look* really. Feeling even when you put weight on them is what makes the biggest difference. Glad this was helpful!
Thank you for doing this. I recently purchased a set and am in the process of getting something established in the yard to practice, I really appreciate the reminders of the hazards. All the best from Albuquerque, NM
I bring a light and foldable stool in my backpack so I can set the rings higher on the tree branch. Much better if you wanna hang in a fully extended position. I also make sure to protect the wooden rings by avoiding contact with the buckles.
How do I line up my rings? My pull bar is misaligned and I'm thinking of using the rings for pull ups and chin ups. But I don't how to aline my rings? I have OCD so I need to be perfectly aligned
Well, the cool thing with ring straps is even if the bar is uneven you can adjust the straps to match the height of the top of the rings as I mention in the vid.
@ 10:00 test by placing weight on rings as explained in video and if one side feels higher/lower, then turn around so hands are on opposite rings and test again. Use PVC pipe or similar and place inside rings and visually check if level.
It's usually not an issue. The force you place on the ring pulls the strap down with gravity, not to the side. Just don't hang them from something so slick that they move laterally.
I am current have my outdoor rings nylon straps over 1/4" stainless wire cable between the tree, but I am struggling to find any information as what's the minimum safe radius that 1.5" nylon straps are allowed to wrap around the overhead bar (in my case wire cable). Do you have any insight on this? Another remedy would be using a 1" PVC casing over the wire cable. Still not convinced I have see ring strap set up through D-ring/eye with similar size as 1/4" wire cable.
The main thing is that the wire will wear down your straps. A carabiner or something could make the difference. Safety-wise, it mostly depends on how much weight the wire itself can support.
Now, how to take the rings out of the bag. You place your left index finger on the pull cord and draw it slowly towards your right forearm (your left forearm if you are left handed). Then you carefully displace the straps and carabiners from the bag and lay them neatly on the ground. Make sure the bag is empty before proceeding to the next step.
Still confused by which diameter rings to purchase. Some say get the 1.11" (FIG) and other say get the 1.25” (CrossFit). I don't have particularly big hands.
Why are you not allowed to drill into the ceiling? You can just patch the hole once you move out and no one will notice🤫🤫🤫 Ps: is 12:40 not a bit dangerous? Can I really hang my rings on something like that?
The ceiling and walls, are typically drywall that is nailed into 2x4 or 2x6 wood studs. Drywall is not strong enough to hold much weight, so use the stud as an anchor.
I realize now that you probably where referring to the building owner not allowing *any* drilling. That is typical in leases for retail or businesses. Probably a liability issue.
Right on - it generally all comes out in the wash, so to speak. Of course you want to get them *preeeeetty close* to even, but slight unevenness is fine, especially if you swap like this.
I wouldn't expect you to gain measurably more muscle by intentionally making your rings uneven. The exercises you choose should be adequately challenging enough on their own to provide the stimulus for growth.

Gotta love how Ryan explains the details of hanging the rings (here’s how you flip a strap) as meticulously as he explains the exercises.
hahaha, well, I guess who I am is who I am ;)
I've also seen too many people throw the buckles over and hit themselves in the heads...
SO very useful, thank you!
All these years later and gmb is dropping helpful content. Thank you.

Really glad this was helpful :) I've heard most rings don't seem to come with much in the way of instructions...
Great vid on setting up your gym rings! Please keep them coming.

2:23-4:10 Tell us a little more about why you need to do this job Are you doing it to retrieve the extension rope?
It's only if you're hanging your rings from something too high for your straps
@@gmbfitFrom the top, the order is extension straps, standard straps, and gymnastic rings？
yep
In prevision of the new Integral Strength version ?
I'm so into your programs, guys, they've been a game changer in my fitness journey!
Thank you!
Really glad it's been helpful for you :)
Thank you, very helpful
Just started with rings this week after years of basic pull-ups and pushups. Loving the challenge.
Right on - they can be very rewarding :)
Thank you for doing this. I recently purchased a set and am in the process of getting something established in the yard to practice, I really appreciate the reminders of the hazards. All the best from Albuquerque, NM
Right on - have fun with them. They are a fantastic training tool if you use good form and progress intelligently.
This was a great explanation!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!❤️❤️
Glad you found it helpful :)
Hey thank you so much for covering all the details on this matter. Very appreciated !

Yeah, if you've got something like that, it's definitely handy :)
REALLY useful! Thank you for taking the time :)
Awesome video. Loved this information
Glad to help :)
So so usefull! Great vid!
man, very nice pro tips, thanks a lot!
glad to help :)
It was very helpful, do you have any recommendations how to attach to a pull up bar with a quick release because I can’t leave it hanging…
I've never heard of that.
Great video!
Makes total sense
Never thought I'm getting fitness advices from Negan one day!
Thanks for posting this!
Hope it saves you from making a few mistakes :)
the branch does tilt to one side and the uneven rings will affect your body in the long run.
Or you could just adjust the straps to compensate for that...

Thanks for the great video! What are your thoughts on the "competition" rings, which use carabiners to allow for quicker height changes?
I think that's fine.
You mention the width spacing of the rings. DId you mention a way to anchor them to a certain width? Perhaps I missed something, if so.
It's usually not an issue. The force you place on the ring pulls the strap down with gravity, not to the side. Just don't hang them from something so slick that they move laterally.
@@gmbfit Thank you. I thought it might not be-- but I wasn't sure, since I'm new to rings.
No Video link that shows how to secure it to the ceiling??
Check this out. gmb.io/hanging-gymnastic-rings/
The gymnastic rings are the best equipment to train your body
They are certainly one of my favorites.

Then get the smaller one. It's not a big enough deal to bother getting confused over.
One point use a mountaineering carbineer not any cheap one
Same with anything - don't buy crap. Goes equally for the rings themselves.
Why are you not allowed to drill into the ceiling?

I’ve checked to make sure that structure is ok to hang my rings from.
If you're worried about the rings being slightly uneven, just turn around each set.
Yeah that works. Even better because there's always an overload on one side so it's interesting for muscle gain.

I broke my arm.
how can I workout with rings or any kind of workout ??
Walk, run, squat. Don't do something stupid that's going to injure you instead of healing.
