How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Hang from secure gymnastics rings with straight arms, active shoulders, and clear space around you.
  2. 02Tuck your knees toward your chest and lift your hips until your feet pass between the rings.
  3. 03Rotate slowly through an inverted tuck and lower your legs behind you into a controlled shoulder-extension hang.
  4. 04Stop before shoulder tension is lost or the stretch becomes painful, keeping your knees tucked throughout.
  5. 05Reverse the rotation until your feet pass back through the rings and return to the starting hang under control.
