Bulgarian Ring Dips

Scott Andrew Birdposted by Scott Andrew Bird | April 3, 2008



An interesting ring exercise noted on the Gymnastic Bodies Forum - Bulgarian Ring Dips. Coach Sommer explains :

To perform a Bulgarian dip, begin by assuming a standard support position on the rings. As a reminder, a correct support position will have the chest elevated, the back flat (no hunching!), the elbows locked and the rings turned outward slightly. From this position, start the descent by allowing the rings to begin turning inward to a parallel position while simultaneously pressing the rings outward. Continue the descent until a pair of 90 degree angles have been achieved; a 90 degree bend in the elbows and a 90 degree angle between the upper arms and the torso. When you have reached the correct depth of descent; in addition to the pair of 90 degree angles hopefully attained, the upper arms will also be parallel with the floor.

Good one.
