Use controlled eccentrics with full range of motion, wide-grip arched pull-ups and Bulgarian dips on rings to maximize upper-body hypertrophy at home.

Key takeaways

Arched body ring pull-ups bias flared-elbow lats, not strict hollow-body form

Arched body ring pull-ups bias flared-elbow lats, not strict hollow-body form

  • Arched bottom position positions scapula for hypertrophy training
  • Flared elbows + 'elbows to waist' cue targets peak lat contraction

Bodyweight rows: strong fast concentric, slow controlled eccentric

  • Explosive pull up + slow lower down maximizes muscle-building response
  • Rigid body line, stretch and squeeze the back, mind on biceps and back

Bulgarian dips on rings self-select pain-free shoulder position

  • Rings free to move during range, body gravitates toward agreeable technique
  • 90-90 abducted shoulder with elbows tracking scapula plane targets sternal pec fibers

Rings Workout for Building Strength and Mass

Start workouts with dips (the "squats of the upper body") using rings, progressing to weighted dips, and pair them with ring chin-ups over pull-ups for injury-free arm and back growth.

Copy This Arm Workout (Calisthenics Only)

Superset assisted one-arm chin-ups with tricep dips, then close-grip chin-ups with diamond push-ups using a 3-1-1 tempo, and finish with 8-second eccentric lowers on both biceps (neutral grip) and triceps.

Why Rings Are So Effective For Building Muscle

Set gymnastic rings wider apart to add resistance at the adduction end of pressing, and take every set within 1-2 reps of muscular failure using an 8-20 rep range and controlled negatives for maximum chest growth.

I Was Bench Pressing Wrong For Chest

Use a semi-neutral grip and controlled deep eccentrics on incline press, ending with a slight outward opening at the bottom, to target pecs effectively without sacrificing load.
