Kip Extension- Rings

The kip extension on rings is used to develop core, scap, and glute strength. The arms should remain straight with no elbows bend throughout this movement

 

Cues:
  • Raise to an inverted hang to begin
  • Keep legs straight and lower hips until toes touch rings
  • Keep toes in line with hands as you lower and raise
  • Return to full inverted hang smoothly and stabilize each rep
Mistakes:
  • Starting in a poor inverted hang, failing to return to full inverted hang
  • Moving quickly and without control
  • Bending the knees
  • Bending the elbows
Considerations: 
  • Performing negatives with locked knees and elbows then returning to inverted hang in a tuck position is preferred to fighting through reps with slightly bent knees or elbows – this will only reinforce incorrect movement mechanics.
