Technique

How to perform

Take the rings in a false grip — each ring should run diagonally across your palm and through your wrist. Wrap your fingers firmly around the ring and flex your wrists over it. Grip tightly and keep your wrists above the rings. Hang in this position, keeping your whole body tight and your shoulders active.

Tips

If you can't hang in a false grip right away, start with your feet on the ground and gradually take weight off them, or use resistance bands. Use chalk or gymnastic grips to keep your hands from slipping. Practise false grip holds regularly to build endurance and get used to the position. Progress slowly and don't rush into advanced movements.
