Specific Ring Muscle-Up Prep
Gymnastics Skill: Ring Muscle-Up Progression
Set 1 -- Establish false grip in rings, 3-5 slow ring rows with false grip, pause at sternum and feel the lat engagement, then 3-5 jumping transitions from below the rings to support. Then add in Ring Support Holds and Bottom of Ring Dip Holds
Set 2 -- 3-5 low ring banded or low ring muscle-up transitions, pause 2 seconds in support at the top, coach the turnover and elbow drive past the rings
Set 3 -- 3 controlled attempts at the current progression level -- low ring options, strict pull-ups + dips, kipping drill for those building -- confirm positions are clean before the skill block opens
This is a 12-minute structured skill block. Coaches facilitate athletes through the progression that matches their current capacity. Beginners work strict ring row transitions and low ring jumping ring dips to support. Intermediate athletes develop kipping timing on the low rings and the pull-to-press connection. Advanced athletes refine efficiency and consistency working to better mechanics. The progression moves from strict to kipping and from low rings to high rings -- athletes should not skip steps to get to the "real" version. Mechanics first.
