I tried doing ring pushups today, looked like Bambi on ice, talk about a muscle group that has never been used!

I just mastered diamond pushups, going to be a while before I get ring pushups down.

I never tried.
Is that any different than doing push ups on your fists or on barebells?

Much MUCH harder, your arms want to go every way but strait up/down!

yeah, awful. If you hold a resistance band under your palms to stabilize things it's a lot easier

I am going to try some battle rope training for the first time this week.

I don't have the setup to try that (training at home).
I might have to build my own rings to try.

Stoked, I get to go on a run today. Been in Physical Therapy for 1.5 months now for insertional achilles tendonitis. Only allowed to run every other day, and it's killing me right now. Haven't seen much gains with the achilles in the last few weeks. Really hoping I don't have to have surgery to fix it.....

Goals have shifted this year from running a sub 14 hour 100 mile race to getting healthy and giving it a go next year. Starting to get frustrating watching my buddies out there killing races.

Wife said "ah, you have to run tomorrow." I corrected her. I "get" to run today. Can't wait.

100 mile races? Uhm... Well, your tendons don't like that you say?

Well, I WAS going to brag about my 8.5 mile hike today . . . but in light of the 100 mile race . . . *kicks rocks*

I'll be having Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake tomorrow

 

[FishnHunt]

Yeah, I'm gonna stick with 5k and half-marathons for a while.... That's impressive.

I tried doing push ups using two carabiners and a rope.
It's tough!

The carabiners are a bit too small though, not as nice as rings.

It's a good set up to do that kind of thing though ... (whatever it's called).

Funny thing is, I've done one per year for a few years. No problems with that. It was the speed work training for a half marathon last year that did it. Dang young kids and their 400m repeats.

Ive been getting into hiking lately. Thinking of doing the KT this fall over like 2 or 3 days and camping. Any way you look at it, trails rock. Don't care if it's hiking, biking, or running, I love trails.

Your story and abilities point out how incredibly different our bodies are made. Natural aptitude for particular movements and exercises.

Me? I'm pretty good at drinking beer...

Sylvain, those are ring rows.

Thanks Doc!
Looks like a waste of time if you can easily do pull ups.

[FONT=&quot]The ring row, or body row as it is also known, is a relatively easy ring training exercise that targets the arms and upper back muscles. It looks like an upside down push-up and is a handy starter exercise for anyone who is not yet strong enough to do pull-ups as it uses a similar muscle set but is much easier to do.[/FONT]

We call them "Brocks" after Brock Lesnar. We loop handles over the pull up bar and lay down on a MT bag and then pull ourselves up.

Try doing them when you're almost parallel with the floor or with your feet elevated on a box.
