Hey everybody my name is Antranik and I'm here with my dog Medax and for this video
I'm going to teach you how to do inverted hang on the rings.
Inverted Hang looks like this.
Kids do it all the time, they don't even think.
And as adults, adults think they can't do this exercise anymore.
But trust me, you can, it's not a difficult move.
And as long as you have the grip strength to hang from a bar or rings for like 20-30seconds.
Like this or like this.
As long as you can just hang off a bar, then you have the grip strength so when you go
upside down, you can hold yourself up.
That's about it.
So.
There are two ways to get into the inverted hang.
One is from the from the front which I just did and another one is from the back.
I'm gonna talk about from the front real quick.
If you don't have pulling strength, meaning you're not very good at pullups or you can
only do a couple or none, then what you do is you literally just kick up and put your
feet on the straps.
And if you don't get it on your first try, just try it a few times.
So to demonstrate, I'm going to kick up and put my feet around the straps like this.
And then I release my legs from the straps.
Then just hold this position with a straight body.
Now, to get out of it.
You tuck your knees into your chest, heels to your butt and lower down slowly.
That was one way of doing it.
The other way to do it, if you have the pulling strength is to just pull with bent elbows
and then drive your knees up really fast.
And then I'm in a (tucked) inverted hang.
Then lower back down.
Now, to get into from the other way, from behind...
This one is really fun.
And some people find it easier.
So it's going to be like this.
The rings are about head height, about the height of my face.
And I'm standing like this.
I'm going to put the rings behind me and let the palms turn naturally.
And then I bend my knees so I have some load on my shoulders and then I'm just gonna hop
up using my feet.
So here we go...
BOOM!
And now I'm in the inverted hang.
I'll show you one more time.
And to get out of it by the way, I just tuck in.
Tucking in is the easiest way.
So one more time.
I turn the palms around.
Bend the knees.
And jump.
And that's about it.
Right?
When you get used to holding that inverted hang position, I want you to also play with
the rings turned out (RTO) inverted hang.
So normally we hold the inverted hang like this with the palms facing each other but
when you get used to that, you could also turn the rings out.
This is a little bit more difficult but this is a really fun move and it's good to work
inverted hang in both hand or arm positions.
And to get out of it, tuck in and come back down.
Ok?
Now notice that when I'm coming out of inverted hang, I'm coming down with straight arms.
Most people don't do that.
And that's okay because the next video is on an exercise known as "Skin the Cat" and
the Inverted Hang is a good preparatory skill to have to learn how to do this next exercise.
So thanks for watching.
Just catch the next video and we'll go from there.
Okay?
