- What's up,
Elite Thenx athletes?
Welcome to another video of official Thenx.
Today I'm gonna show you how to build
a stronger chest using rings.
(soft digital music)
All right, so let's get started.
So today, I'm gonna show you guys
how to build a stronger chest using rings.
Now the reason why rings develops a stronger chest,
is because of he stabilization factor when using rings.
And that's evident because everything
that you can normally do, is always a
lot harder on the rings.
You're gonna develop great muscle
balancement within your body when using this.
You're gonna cure your muscle imbalancements.
The reason why is because you have both your arms separated
to each own individual ring, which is gonna have to
give equal effort on both sides.
When you're doing stuff like pushups on the ground,
both arms are on the ground.
When you're doing stuff like bench press with the barbell,
both hands will be on the same bar, which is gonna make it
easier for you to leverage one side more than
the other if one side is lacking.
When you're using rings, you can't cheat this.
You're gonna have to be using equal effort on both sides.
Which brings us to number three.
Using rings is gonna make everything
else a whole lot easier.
If you've ever used rings before, you would know that doing
a dip on the bars is like ten times
easier than doing dips on rings.
And if that's not enough, you have constant
core engagement through every single exercise.
So, today, we're gonna be doing a
ring workout for a stronger chest.
And for those of you that are a little bit more advanced,
you definitely wanna add weight onto
your body for this workout routine.
Now the best way to work out your chest,
is to make sure that you hit every area of your chest;
your bottom, your middle, your top and
the outsides as well as the split.
So, we're gonna be doing that today with these exercises.
We're gonna start off with ring dips,
then we're gonna move into pelican push-ups.
Next, we have push-ups.
Then we have flies, and then we're gonna finish off with
incline push-ups, and that should
target every single area of your chest.
So let's start off with these dips.
Make sure to lock out, guys.
All the way down, all the way up.
Try to lock out if you can.
Now the trick to this is to squeeze your hands,
as hard as you can to really get into the control.
A lot of times if you guys start doing this,
your arms are gonna be like all over the place.
Try to squeeze your hands close to your body.
Lean forward
and constant, constant squeezing from your hands,
and try to keep 'em close to your body.
Let's do some reps.
All right. So there we have dips.
That should mainly engage the lower part of your chest,
although it's gonna engage your whole chest as well as it's
engaging your triceps and other stabilization muscles,
such as your core while you're doing this.
Next, we have pelican push-ups.
We're gonna need to set that one up.
All right, so the next exercise we have is pelican push-ups.
I'm taking the weight off for this one.
You wanna make sure they have an elevated surface and the
rings are down to about waist level.
Let's go for it.
So these are really tough, guys.
(exhales)
So only go as far deep as you can,
but this is the start position.
Come up to here.
Once you pass, opens up your chest, as low as you can go.
Bring it back up and follow the same pattern.
Only go as low as you can go, guys.
Eventually, you'll be able to go lower.
Let's go for it.
(soft digital music)
Woo.
All right, so there we have the pelican push-ups.
So that exercise, right there,
should have opened up your chest.
This is definitely gonna give you a fuller chest.
You're working from the inside all
the way to the outside, on this exercise.
So the next exercise we have is push-ups.
Let's add some weight for that one.
Next, we have push-ups.
This is mainly gonna engage the middle of your chest.
Let's start from the top.
If you can, close.
You can really squeeze that chest.
Open, come all the way down.
Come all the way to the top.
Squeeze the chest,
real tight.
Woo.
Ah.
That is a tough one after you get to this far.
All right.
Let's move on to flies.
(Velcro rips)
All right, so not for this next exercise,
we set the rings down low, and we're gonna go for flies.
This, again, is gonna spread our chest
and working from the inside,
all the way out.
Let's go for some really, squeeze, squeeze.
This is a really difficult move,
so if you can't do it, on your feet, like this,
try doing it on your knees, okay?
Like that.
Eventually, you'll develop the
strength to be doing it higher.
You just gotta bring up those reps.
Here we go.
(soft digital music)
(exhales deeply) Woo.
Oh.
All right.
We are almost done.
All right, well let's get a box in here,
and we're gonna do the last move, incline push-ups.
(breathes heavily)
(box scraping)
All right, now we're gonna finish this exercise off with the
top of the chest doing some incline push-ups.
Remember guys, squeeze that hand as tight as you can.
The better grip you have on this, the easier it's
gonna be to stabilize yourself.
Let's go for it.
(soft digital music)
Woo.
(exhales sharply)
All right.
That's crazy.
You guys see the reps, but what you don't see is that
stabilization factor that makes this 100 times harder,
which is why you have to try this exercise out for yourself.
