How to Pick Gymnastic Rings | BUILD Muscle and Strength with Rings CHEAP
Рет қаралды 69,270
Күн бұрынThis is my guide on how to pick gymnastic rings. In this video I cover the options for rings, including FIG standard 1.1" (28mm) rings and 1.25" gymnastic rings you commonly find in crossfit gyms and honestly all over. Whether you are looking for Olympic rings or whatever your gymnast or strength training goals are, this video will cover how to pick them and all the options. Different straps? Yep, types of buckles, you bet. Numbered, diameters, and we unbox for top options at this budget range ($50 or less).
Gymnastic rings are honestly the best cheap, budget option for building muscle, coordination, and challenging yourself in the gym. At this price point their versatility can't be matched. They're a lot of fun, don't take up much space, and maybe best of all, inexpensive. I own rings from Rep Fitness, Titan Fitness, Double Circle, and Garage Fit so if you're buying on Amazon or somewhere else, I've got you covered. Come take a look (I unbox them in this video as well!).

One thing to keep in mind about the thickness of the rings - all gymnasts use gloves when using the 1.1” rings, which thicken their grip. I think for most people 1.25” is the way to go (unless you plan to wear gloves or have very small hands, then go with 1.1”)

Beware that some of the the carabiner style have set screws to lock the carabiners closed which I lost one almost immediately. They are very tedious to adjust compared to the cam style. These are not climbing rated carabiners and would loose the full rating (not sure how much) if not installed. A climbing carabiner creates a full locked loop and would be much stronger. It’s too late to return mine so I plan to replace carabiners with stronger body weight rated. Leaving the locking screws out could result in serious injury.

I have the double circle straps but I'm thinking of getting the traditional style straps.

There's no velcro on the Double Circle. If you're using both carabiners you wouldn't have extra. If you're using one you'd have excess. I'll be honest 75% of the time in my home gym the excess on my rings doesn't bother me and I let it hang though the carabiner and thickness of the Double Circle straps is much more than the Reps for example so I don't ever let that one hang.

Personally I like rings better because of the cost and versatility though you can do a ton with TRX as well. As a supplement to strength training I think rings are better as dips and muscle ups (or above the handle exercises in general) are doable. Rings imo are a bit more advanced but they both have their place and if I could afford both I'd debate it but rings are just so cheap in comparison.
