Getting back on board with the hanging challenge for the month of January.
Getting back on board with the hanging challenge for the month of January.
One of the benefits of training on the gymnastic rings is that very quickly you are made aware of your muscle weaknesses and imbalances. Most movements require multiple muscle groups to be strong, stabilised, and working together in sync for an exercise to even begin, let alone to be seen through to completion. Anything you lack then from this criteria will manifest as leaks in the chain (shaking muscles, incorrect range of motion) at the site of these weak points, leading, if serious enough, to a complete disconnection of the chain and an abrupt end to the movement. In short - you can see and feel where you are weak from where the movement chain breaks.
For me this was my wrists, forearms and shoulders, particularly on my left arm, due to a previous break. Since hanging more, via the rings, these areas have begun to increase in both strength and flexibility, and continue to improve the more I do it.
Be sure to check out the challenge at the link on the image, and most importantly to incorporate more hanging into your day. In doing so you will regain and increase your shoulder, arm, and wrist health.
