Are you wanting yours? Check out these tips to get you there:
- To get the false grip – hold onto the ring in the center at the bottom and slide the wrist over and grip.
- Keep the the elbows underneath the rings during the pullup portion of the movement.
- Keep the elbows in close, don’t let them fly out or you will put too much pressure on your elbows and possibly injure them.
- When you kip, drive the knees straight up, you want to transfer the energy up, not out.
- Pullup up to the chest and trace the hands/rings around your pectoral muscles to right underneath the armpits. Don’t allow the rings to go behind you or you will be making the transition more difficult than needed.
- Keep your torso upright in the whole movement or you will be breaking the transfer of energy.
Today’s Workout:
Buy-in: 3x (5 overhead squats (bar), 1 turkish get up per side, 10 jumping jacks)
