Ring rows are a good beginners movement to people that are new to ring training. It’s also a progression exercise for anyone wanting to build up strength for unassisted pull-ups.
Notes: As you become stronger lower the rings to increase the difficulty of the exercise.
The ring row, or body row as it is also known, is a relatively easy ring training exercise that targets the arms and upper back muscles. It looks like an upside down push-up and is a handy starter exercise for anyone who is not yet strong enough to do pull-ups as it uses a similar muscle set but is much easier to do.
If you find this exercise difficult try keeping the rings high, as the closer they are to the ground, the more difficult the exercise becomes. As strength increases, simply lower the rings so that your body is closer to horizontal.
You can increase the difficulty of Ring Rows by raising your feet on a platform or bench. Once you have mastered the ring row try progressing into one arm ring rows or the ring pull-up.
