Ring Pull-Up Close Grip

A pulling variation where you grip the rings closer together, emphasizing biceps engagement while still developing back strength.

Instructions

1. Hang from the rings positioned close together
2. Pull yourself upward by driving your elbows downward
3. Bring your chest toward the rings
4. Lower yourself back down with control
5. Maintain body tension and hand grip throughout
6. Repeat for repetitions

Tips

• Keep hands as close as your shoulder anatomy allows
• Emphasizes biceps more than wide grip
• Maintain neutral wrist position for injury prevention
• Keep shoulders stable despite hand position
• Build grip strength progressively
• Progress by increasing repetitions
• Good variation to balance shoulder development
• Requires good wrist mobility and stability
