Do you want to buy gymnastic rings that last long and are comfortable to train with? Then pay attention to these points:

How to get the most out of your gymnastic rings?

- Hang them at the right height. Make sure you can do both standing and hanging exercises.

- Use magnesium or grips. This prevents slipping with sweaty hands.
- Train with progression. Make exercises harder by supporting your feet less.

Veelgestelde vragen over Turnringen

Are his gymnastic rings only for advanced users?

No! Although gymnastic rings are often associated with advanced exercises such as muscle-ups and front levers, they are also excellent for beginners. You can start with basic movements such as ring rows, assisted dips, and static holds. By gradually building up, you improve your strength, stability, and control, allowing you to eventually perform more advanced exercises.

Can I use gymnastic rings outside?

Yes, the gymnastic rings are excellent for outdoor use, provided you choose the right material. Rings made of ABS are very suitable because they are resistant to rain and moisture. Wooden rings, on the other hand, often offer better grip but are more susceptible to wear when exposed to rain and cold. Preferably use wooden rings under a canopy or store them away after training. Also, pay close attention to the mounting: ensure that the straps and anchors are weather-resistant so they do not wear out or weaken quickly.

How high should I hang gymnastics rings?

The ideal hanging height of gymnastic rings depends on the exercises you want to do. For dips and push-ups, hang the rings at chest height so you have enough freedom of movement. If you want to do pull-ups or muscle-ups, the rings should hang high enough so you can fully hang with straight arms. For support holds and static exercises, it is important that you have enough space under your feet. Therefore, preferably choose adjustable straps so you can easily adjust the height to your training.

Are his gymnastic rings better than a pull-up bar?

Gymnastic rings and a pull-up bar each have their own advantages. Gymnastic rings require more stability and grip strength, which leads to extra muscle activation. This makes them especially suitable for functional strength training and gymnastic exercises. A pull-up bar, on the other hand, offers a fixed, stable surface with which you can train more specifically for explosive strength and repetitions. If you mainly want to improve your stability, core, and grip, gymnastic rings are an excellent choice. If you want to focus on pull-ups and chin-ups, then a pull-up bar is more practical.
