Ring Wide Push-Up

A push-up variation performed on rings with a wide hand position, emphasizing chest development while the ring instability increases core engagement.

Instructions

1. Position yourself in a plank with hands on the rings positioned wider than shoulder width.
2. Keep your body straight from head to heels with core engaged.
3. Lower your body by bending your elbows, moving them outward at an angle.
4. Descend until your chest is near the rings or slightly below.
5. Press through your hands to extend your elbows and return to the top position.
6. Maintain a straight body throughout the movement.

Tips

• Ring instability increases core demand compared to fixed surfaces.
• Keep elbows flared outward to emphasize chest engagement.
• Maintain core tension throughout to prevent sagging hips.
• Control the descent for better muscle engagement.
• Progress from standard position push-ups before moving to rings.
