How to do ring dips

  1. Grip the rings and extend your arms.
  2. Lower your body keeping your chest between the rings.
  3. Descend to a pain-free shoulder range.
  4. Press up preventing the rings from drifting apart.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Avoid going too deep if your shoulder hurts.
  • Don't let the rings flare apart.
  • Control the lowering at all times.

Progression

  • Start with low rings and feet on the floor. Increase reps and raise the rings progressively.
