Ring Support Hold

Explanatory Video

Description

The Rings Support Hold is an isometric exercise performed on gymnastic rings. Begin by adjusting the rings to a height where you can comfortably reach them while standing. Grasp the rings with a neutral grip, palms facing inward. Jump or press yourself up so that your arms are fully extended and your body is off the ground. Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears, and engage your core to maintain a straight line from head to heels. Hold this position, keeping your elbows locked and your body stable. Focus on maintaining tension in your core and shoulders throughout the hold. This exercise is excellent for building upper body and core strength.
