How to: Ring Pullover
- Adjust the suspension straps to a comfortable height.
- Grip the handles firmly and lean back while keeping your body straight.
- Pull your body towards the handlebar with your arms while slightly bending at the elbows.
- Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Slowly lower back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the back to arch excessively during the exercise.
- Not controlling the movement effectively, leading to jerky motions.
- Failing to engage core muscles, which can cause strain on the lower back.
Modifications
- Perform at a lower intensity by reducing the range of motion.
- Use a heavier or lighter suspension system to accommodate your strength level.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement for better stability.
- Keep your movements smooth to minimize strain on the joints.
- Focus on breathing in during the return and out during the pulling phase.
