should i lower the rings? should my chest be reaching higher?

#

i see i do not keep my head aligned with my bodyline. some weird tucking at the top of the rep.

#

can you move yourself up a little? your forearms should generally remain in line with the straps themselves

#

your head is also moving up and your hips are dropping a little, but i would focus on fixing/adjusting that forearm thing and seeing what happens

#

ah so like the straps and my arms are perpendicular to the ground at the bottom of the rep?

#

not “straps are perpendicular to the ground and my arms are coming off the rings at an angle”

#

well your arms should be aligned with the straps at all times. You dont even have to worry about either's relation to the ground

#

like your forearms and the straps should make a straight line at all parts of the movement

#

you can notice in inverted rows how the forearm angle doesnt change at all

#

you're doing something more similar to curling the rings to your chest

#

its a small change, to be clear. But try it and see how it affects your form

#

alright. should have something in a few minutes

#

still at an angle so gotta just keep playing with that

#

try setting your feet closer to the rings

#

definitely looks more consistent in terms of the forearm specifically

#

but yeah itll just take practice once you know what to work on

#

closer? interesting. i moved the step ladder i’m elevating my feet on further to straighten my arms more.

#

move the stepladder closer to the rings lol

#

see what happens

teal vapor Dec 17, 2022, 12:29 AM

#

lol ok. give me another few minutes.

#

you dont have to do all this today btw

teal vapor Dec 17, 2022, 12:33 AM

#

welp my feet slid off the ladder step the first rep but i just went with it. i think i need a more stable thing to put my foot on.

shadow lodge Dec 17, 2022, 12:33 AM

#

this can just be a practice and experimentation thing

teal vapor Dec 17, 2022, 12:35 AM

#

Thank you for the grace. I think I will stop here for now. I don’t want to aggravate my arm just when I got the ok to continue upper body stuff lol.

shadow lodge Dec 17, 2022, 12:35 AM

#

yeah just keep filming yourself and experimenting

#

you dont necessarily have to upload it, but its good for being able to check what you're doing

teal vapor Dec 17, 2022, 12:38 AM

#

thanks. so it sounds like work on not changing forearm angle, not dropping hips, and not moving my head up in terms of form?

shadow lodge Dec 17, 2022, 12:43 AM

#

yeah, and like two of those things are solved with just staying tight and stable throughout the movement

teal vapor Dec 17, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

alrighty. thanks as always!
