Ring Pike

A dynamic pressing movement where you drive your hips upward in a pike position on the rings, developing shoulder strength and core control.

Instructions

1. Begin in a push-up position with hands on the rings
2. Keep your legs straight and pike your hips upward
3. Create an inverted V-shape with your body
4. Lower your hips back down to the starting position
5. Maintain arm extension throughout
6. Repeat with controlled movements

Tips

• Start with feet elevated to make the movement easier
• Focus on driving through your shoulders
• Keep your core engaged throughout
• Maintain tension in your entire body
• Progress by lowering your feet or increasing repetitions
• This develops excellent shoulder strength
• Can be performed with hands on different surfaces to modify difficulty
