Technique

How to perform Ring Handstand

1. Set the rings shoulder-width apart with enough clear space for the handstand and your practiced entry and exit.
2. Use an entry you can already control to bring your hips and feet above the rings.
3. Straighten your elbows and align your shoulders, hips and feet over your hands without resting your legs on the straps.
4. Push tall through your shoulders instead of pulling them down toward your hips.
5. Keep the rings steady and your trunk aligned while making small balance adjustments and breathing.
6. Finish with your practiced controlled exit.
