How to do a ring high suspended row

Setup:

1. Ring Height: Adjust the rings so they are suspended slightly above your head when your body is in a straight line and arms are extended in front of you.
2. Starting Position: Hang from the rings with your palms facing each other (neutral grip) and body extended. Keep your shoulders engaged, core tight, and legs straight.

The Lift:

1. Initiate the Pull: Lean back slightly, engaging your back muscles to pull your chest towards the rings.
2. Chest to Rings: Pull your body up until your chest touches the rings. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
3. Controlled Lowering: Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position, resisting the pull of gravity and maintaining tension in your back muscles.

Tips:

• Focus on the Lats: Concentrate on using your latissimus dorsi (the large muscles on your back) to pull your body up, rather than relying on your arms.
• Elbow Position: Keep your elbows close to your body and pointing down towards your hips as you pull up.
• Body Alignment: Maintain a straight line from your shoulders to your heels throughout the movement.
• Variations: You can adjust the difficulty of the exercise by changing the angle of your body. A more vertical position makes the exercise easier, while a more horizontal position makes it more challenging.
