    Weighted Ring Muscle Up

    The weighted ring muscle up is an advanced gymnastic exercise performed on rings with added weight via a belt or vest. It combines a pull-up and dip in one fluid motion, requiring exceptional upper body strength, coordination, and ring stability. The instability of the rings makes this significantly harder than a bar muscle up.

    How to Perform

    1. 1

      Attach a weight belt with the desired weight or wear a weighted vest.

    2. 2

      Hang from gymnast rings with arms fully extended and a false grip (wrists over the rings).

    3. 3

      Engage your core and pull yourself up explosively, bringing your chest toward the rings.

    4. 4

      As you reach the top of the pull, lean forward and transition your hands from below to above the rings.

    5. 5

      Press yourself up by straightening your arms until you're in the support position above the rings.

    6. 6

      Lower yourself back down with control, reversing the movement.

    7. 7

      Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
