Technique

How to perform Ring Wide Push-Up

  1. Suspend the rings low and wider than shoulder width.
  2. Grip them and walk your feet back into a straight supported plank, keeping your feet on the floor.
  3. Bend your elbows to lower your chest between the rings, allowing the handles to move outward toward their wider hanging position.
  4. Keep your trunk steady as your chest approaches ring height, without turning the movement into a straight-arm fly.
  5. Press through the handles and straighten your elbows, bringing the rings back toward their starting position beneath your shoulders.
  6. Repeat the same controlled descent and press without letting the hips sag.
