Ring Dip
Once you have mastered dip variations on parallel bars, it may be time to move to the Ring Dip—a dip variation that requires even more core and shoulder stability. An athlete should master steady straight arm strength (top-support) on rings as well as normal parallel bar dips before attempting this.

Ring Dip
- Begin in a top support on gymnastic rings.
- Straighten your elbows, turn the rings out past parallel, and depress your shoulders.
- Dip down until your shoulders nearly touch the rings.
- Press straight back up with control.
- Dipping with a smooth, stable motion is more difficult on the rings but is absolutely mandatory.
- Maintain a straight bodyline, posterior pelvic tilt (PPT), and depressed shoulders throughout.
- Repeat for reps.
