How to: Ring Elevated Row
- Set the rings at a level where you can comfortably grab them with your arms fully extended.
- Stand facing the rings, grasp them with an overhand grip, and lean back with your body straight.
- Pull your body up towards the rings, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
- Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the hips sag during the row.
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled strength.
- Not pulling all the way to the rings.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise with your feet positioned on the floor if rings are too high.
- Use a resistance band if you need assistance with the movement.
Tips
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement.
- Engage your core to stabilize your body.
