It seems very easy exercise, but don't underestimate it 8) 1. longer the cables are, harder is2. more you swing harder getsTips:1. no bending arms and body2. you can do proggresions with palms turning out and higher swingsI recomend about 10 swing (with completly straight arms)! it's good for competitive gymnast to, let them try :oops: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sapinoso Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 When i first read this i thought you had meant support swings like on pbars which are also a good exercise, but i'll have to try this next time i have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I was thinking support swings on rings as well. I wonder if you can continue the swinging of the rings by swinging the body like a ring support swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbryk Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I remember doing these when I first started off working on my support, only comment I have here is to not try these unless you have a solid support on the rings, if you're not ready for these they can do some harm like all things in gymnastics.

thekyloe Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Tried them today, and it feels like how it was when I tried my first basic support on the rings--shaky, but a good finisher to a good workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Malin Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I tried it today. No big deal for about thirty seconds right? Then about one second later I understood why you recommended these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Tray palms turned out with complete straight arms, if it's to easy go for longer swings or ut some weights in your pockets or better on chest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seiji Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Pretty silly question, but since I'm new to this, I'm excused.I thought support was when you're upside down in the same position. I was swinging like that yesterday So what is that called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Support means on top of, hang means below, gymnastics wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 There are two variations for this movement; both happen while on top of the rings in support.1) The athlete gets into a XR Support Position on the rings and then begins to swing their body back and forth while the rings stay stationary. This will appear quite similar to a support swing on the parallel bars.2) The athlete assumes a XR Support Position on the rings and struggles to hold that position steady while the rings themselves swing back and forth. This is surprisingly difficult. The larger the degree of swing, the more difficult it is to maintain a steady XR Support Position.

Mr.MJR Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I tried this today, very very good exercise for XR support! I had a little problem how to swing the rings, but I figured it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternford Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Is there anything to be gained from doing this inverted, trying to keep your body parallel to the ropes? 'Cause it's quite fun to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Warren Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well, bringing back an old thread. How in the world do you keep the rings stationary? Coach Sommer said: 1) The athlete gets into a XR Support Position on the rings and then begins to swing their body back and forth while the rings stay stationary. This will appear quite similar to a support swing on the parallel bars.Maybe I'm having difficulties due to today being the first time I've tried them, but if I'm not mistaken it's incredibly difficult to do this with the rings turned out. My XR RTO support is very strong but this I cannot do, so I've started with rings in for now until I get it down properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 RTO, slightly wide to allow hips to pass through without hitting rings. Not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Warren Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thats nuts, I've got some working up to do That's all the fun though, difficult movements give the best motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
