How to perform RTO Support Hold
- Set the rings at a height that lets you enter support and return your feet to the floor under control.
- Grip the rings and rise until your arms are straight and your legs are clear of the floor.
- Keep the rings close beside your torso and maintain supported shoulders away from your ears.
- Turn the handles outward so your palms face forward without bending your elbows.
- Hold an upright steady body line with minimal swinging; keep your legs hanging or bend your knees for clearance.
- Turn the rings back as needed and lower your feet to the floor under control.
