The Ring Dip

ByCrossFitApril 22, 2019

The ring dip is to the bar dip as the squat is to the leg press. The movement requires upper-body strength, stability, and control while bringing the shoulders through full extension. Practicing the ring dip will develop upper-body pressing strength as well as a foundation for more advanced gymnastics movements.

Just looking at these times and wondering how many people’s shoulders actually descend the proper depth with ring dips. I guess I need to go to a CrossFit gym to understand a bit more about how they hold people accountable for ROM in general.
