How to Work On The Transition Phase of a Muscle-Up with Gym Rings - A Functional Strength Exercise

Gymnastics rings have become my favourite tool for developing upper body and core strength.

In this video, I have a light resistance band tied between the two rings to provide support as I work at the challenging transition phase between a pull-up and dip while moving with control.

Sporting good stores provide resistance bands of different degrees of resistance, so no matter what your current level of strength is, you can use these bands to help you utilize rings to improve your functional strength.
