Movement Prep/Warm-up:
All ring work done on rings with ~4 meter long straps
0a Ring reverse fly 5, 5, 5
-5, 3+1+f, 4+f
-Finally figured out how to do these, which was exciting. On the second set I tried using a false grip, which worked wonders, was actually able to get to full extension. Ring height was at shoulders and feet directly underneath the rings.

In terms of the reverse ring flys, progress towards having your feet on a box and starting lying on your back directly below the rings.
ReplyDeleteRing flys. As you get better, and can go down all the way with straight arms... start by initiating the movement by moving the hands back further. Think more maltese.
You definitely suck at pushups. It is why you have no chest.
