The Full Session

This is the exact ring workout I use to build upper body muscle. Simple, effective, no fluff.

The Workout

1. Ring Dips: 4x8-10

Lean forward, full depth, turn out at the top.

2. Ring Pull-Ups: 4x6-8

Dead hang at bottom, chin over rings at top. Full range.

3. Ring Push-Ups: 3x12-15

Rings at hip height. Go deep, turn out at top.

4. Ring Rows: 3x10-12

Feet elevated on a bench for more difficulty. Pull chest to rings.

5. Ring Flyes: 3x8-10

Slow and controlled. Insane chest stretch at the bottom.

6. L-Sit Hold: 3x15-20 seconds

Rings turned out, legs straight. Core on fire.

Notes

  • Rest 2 minutes between compound exercises
  • Rest 60-90 seconds between isolation work
  • Total time: 40-50 minutes
  • Hit this 2-3 times per week
  • Pair this with heavy legs (squats, RDLs) on separate days for a complete program. Rings handle your upper body. Barbells handle your lower body. Best of both worlds.
