From Team Power Monkey Captain @davedurante Advanced Movement Demo: Swinging Ring Handstand Work The official name for the rings in artistic gymnastics is Still Rings. Back in the day Swinging Rings was an event all on its own. Check out YouTube for some sweet videos of those guys doing some insane swinging skills!! The idea with still rings is to be as in control of the apparatus as possible throughout the entire routine. As you pick up swing in a routine, there are potential deductions associated with the amount of swing. In the artistic gymnastics world we use this drill as a way to work on building the stability necessary to make subtle adjustments while in the handstand. This is NOT easy, and it is purely for demo purposes. I dont recommend anyone who isnt a trained gymnast giving this a try As you can see, Im losing position in my lower back quite a bit. Something I need to work on!!! (*Ive also lowered the rings almost to the floor and Im using mats beneath me. Safety first!!!) @powermonkeyfitness @olychad #cfgymnastics #crossfit #crossfitgymnastics #techniquematters #teampowermonkey #ilovegymnastics
