How to: Leg Assisted Ring Pull-up
- Adjust the rings to a suitable height and grip them firmly with both hands.
- Step back and lean slightly from the hips so your body is slightly angled.
- Use your legs for assistance as you pull your chin above the rings.
- Lower your body slowly and with control back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the shoulders to rise towards the ears.
- Swinging the body instead of maintaining a steady control.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the movement.
Modifications
- Use a lower ring height to make it easier.
- Perform with feet on a bench or platform to reduce body weight resistance.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Control the motion during both the upward and downward phases.
- If needed, adjust the height of the rings to suit your comfort level.
