Technique

How to perform Ring Wide Pull-Up

  1. Hang the rings wider than shoulder width and high enough to keep your feet clear of the floor.
  2. Grip the rings and steady yourself with your arms straight and legs hanging beneath you.
  3. Bend your elbows and bring your upper arms downward to pull your body up, allowing the rings to rotate naturally.
  4. Raise your chin above ring level without swinging or deliberately driving the handles farther apart.
  5. Lower under control until your elbows straighten, allowing your shoulder blades to move as you return to the hang.
  6. Repeat with the same controlled body position, then return your feet to support.
