The fundamental 'Ring-row'
BAS pull (horizontal)
•
2m 3s
THE WHAT:
A most fundamental context using the gymnastics rings for developing horizontal pulling-strength, mechanics, and scapular-function. In the initial instance, the 'ring-row' is NOT used as a strength-development drill in the sense of "raw-strength".
Rather, its used toward developing NEURO-MUSCULAR strength, notably in the end-range contraction of full-range scapular-retraction. Or, to put it more simply, the ability to pull & touch the shoulder-blades together whilst moderately loaded.

False-grip (FG) ring-rows
THE WHAT:
A basic ring-row (HORIZONTAL pull) variation performed using a 'false-grip', for the purpose of its strength & conditioning either preparatory to, or in conjunction with, false-grip VERTICAL-pulling contexts.Note that a false-grip SHORTENS the distance required to pull the THUMBS-TO-C...

Ring-row variations (shoulder-stability)
THE WHAT:
Shoulder & scapular-stability development drills using bodyweight and the convenience of the gymnastics rings, they are ultimately variations of the ‘Fundamental ring-row'. As such, global body alignment (essentially a straight-line from head to heels) is maintained in all drills.LEAR...

Isolated ring-curls & extensions
THE WHAT:
"Isolated" contexts, in that they move around a single hinge-joint (the elbow) with a bent-arm push or pull motion. Their practice is namely toward conditioning of the elbow-tendons (i.e. attachments of the biceps and triceps), meaning that it can also be used as part of a focused progr...
