A bodyweight triceps-isolation exercise performed with gymnastic rings.
Adjust the gymnastic rings to about waist height.
Stand facing away from the anchor point, holding the rings with an overhand grip.
Extend your arms in front of you at shoulder width, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
Lean forward slightly, maintaining a straight line from head to heels.
Bend your elbows to lower your body while keeping your upper arms stationary.
Lower until your forearms are parallel to the ground or slightly below.
Press through your palms to extend your elbows and return to the starting position.
Maintain a controlled motion throughout the exercise.
Ensure that the rings are securely fastened before starting the exercise.
Keep your core engaged to maintain balance and prevent arching of the lower back.
Focus on moving only at the elbows; avoid swinging or using momentum.
Adjust the ring height or your body angle to increase or decrease difficulty.
Perform the movement slowly to maximize muscle engagement and control.
Breathe out as you extend your arms and inhale as you lower yourself.
The suspension setup challenges elbow extension while requiring shoulder and core stability. Stepping the feet back toward the anchor makes it easier, while a lower, more horizontal body angle makes it harder, so the load scales without changing equipment.
