I really wana get stronger i lift heavy and do some oly lifts my explosive strength i feel is there from wrestling but i wana try to lean up a bit and try to do some gymnastic work like gsp the rings look brutal I have done some research about them does anyone here work out with rings is it worth getting a personal trainer for them its alot of money to invest in getting a coach.
Unless you're specifically interested in gymnastics, TRX is probably the better purchase. You don't necessarily need a coach to make good use of either - there are plenty of online tutorials that will help you figure out the basics.
I'm not entirely convinced of this. Low-level gymnastic movements such as muscle-ups, dips, L-sits, and back levers require little to no coaching to achieve. However, due to the Y-shape of the TRX, it's hard to perform anything on top of the handles, whereas with rings you can. I use my rings maybe once a week. I enjoy the challenge of working with my own bodyweight in a different manner. I also believe movements such as skinning the cat are great for shoulder flexibility and strength. You can easily create your own rings or TRX-type suspension trainer for a fraction of the cost of buying them online. If you are serious about using rings, an open adult gymnastics class shouldn't cost more than $10 per session, and there should be a few coaches around to help you out with any questions you have.
The book Building the Gymnastic Body by Christopher Summer is probably the best entry-point into teaching yourself gymnastics movements, using the rings/bars/floor as equipment. The book does a good job explaining progression in a lot of basic movements, and the author is a respected gymnastics coach. On the other hand, it requires you have the gumption to actually do any of the routines listed, which is where I've failed so far. http://www.amazon.com/Building-Gymnastic-Body-Gymnastics-Strength/dp/0982125305
I don't do anything fancy but I've added Ring Rows and presses into my WS4SB routine(ring press ups being my high rep movement) just for fun really and I do like them. I can't say they've improved my strength by any massive level but they haven't hurt it either.
I have a rope that I use for pull-ups. It is longe enough that I have loops in the end to use for ring push-ups on occasion. Rings are good for upper body work, but don't neglect the lower body just to work on the rings.
Seems like most people here prefer trx vs rings in terms of over all strength i just wana become stronger is the ultimate goal
If you want to become stronger, do read the FAQs and do one of the beginner routines listed there. You'll find a lot more benefit than you would with rings or trx. Those are best used as additional tools to add to an already established routine.
Bro get on the juice jump to the rings and hold iron cross for 60 seconds and ull make alll kinddddds of gainss.
