Gold Medal Bodies – Rings One

R1 has made me stronger, especially in my shoulders, arms and abs; taught me some new (and cool) skills; and surprisingly relieved elbow discomfort that I sometimes get from tennis. The cool down has also been great for my shoulder range of motion and to ward off any shoulder discomfort.

R1 has made me stronger, especially in my shoulders, arms and abs; taught me some new (and cool) skills; and surprisingly relieved elbow discomfort that I sometimes get from tennis. The cool down has also been great for my shoulder range of motion and to ward off any shoulder discomfort.
Can you do at least 3 solid pull-ups?
Being able to do three solid (strict) pull-ups is about the minimum strength level you’ll need to make suitable progress on Rings One.
If the answer is yes, great!
R1 includes two difficulty levels: Level A assumes an intermediate level of strength, and Level B is designed for people who already quite strong, yet new to ring training.
If you can’t yet do three pull-ups..
We recommend Integral Strength as a preparatory step before starting R1.

to Gymnastic Ring Training
If you’re like most people who will stumble upon this page, your first exposure to gymnastic rings was seeing them in the Olympics and admiring the strength and physiques of elite gymnasts…
But let’s get real:
Your chances of jumping up on the rings and busting out an iron cross are nil. Rings are hard. Damn hard.
Which is why you’re here. Since we first released Rings One back in 2010, rings have gained a lot of popularity for general fitness, and now you can see them hanging in a lot of commercial gyms.
Unfortunately, they’re still damn hard, and without expert guidance, trying to use them can be an exercise in frustration.
Our head coach, Ryan Hurst, created Rings One to translate his gymnastics background into a program you can use for general fitness without having to take up gymnastic sport.
Rings Hold You Back
If you’re already familiar with the benefits of ring training, there might be a few things holding you back from diving in and getting stronger than you’ve ever been:
You think rings are dangerous
Poppycock!* Read here as our resident physical therapist dispels this old wives’ tale.
You think rings are expensive
You can find a cheap pair of rings online, but compared to a weight set or a gym membership, even our favorite premium rings are a bargain.
You think you don’t have enough room for rings
Here’s an article we wrote with tons of ideas for hanging your rings.
You think rings are just for gymnasts
R1 was designed specifically for trainees with ZERO prior gymnastic or rings experience.
When you learn to use them properly and build your skills with the right foundation, you’ll find that training with gymnastic rings offers some benefits you just can’t get otherwise.
Here’s what rings have to offer:
Versatility and Challenge in Every Direction
Rings allow flexibility for pulling skills below the rings and pushing and balance skills above the rings. Rings One will show you exercises that build strength and mobility in every range and direction.
Instability for Muscular Stimulation
Since they’re not fixed in space, rings will force your muscles to fight harder for control, and that translates to greater strength gains. We’ll show you the details of execution that lead to greater mastery of each movement and position.
Badass Credibility with Impressive Skills
Nailing a solid muscle-up or displaying stability in an L-sit make you look and feel like a badass. With proven progressions and an adaptable rep scheme, you’ll be able to keep making consistent progress towards clean, strict muscle ups and the R1 flow routine.
Best of all, you won’t have to struggle with a program that was either designed for child gymnasts or requires strict adherence to a “perfect” schedule. R1 makes ring training accessible for everyone.
Our coaches have worked with thousands of recreational and pro athletes, and our clients span all ages and backgrounds, so we’re able to translate the benefits of gymnastic ring work to non-gymnasts.

Don’t Get Stuck –Programming Designed for Continual Progress without Stalling
Unlike some programs that give you a single workout to repeat forever, GMB recognizes that you’ll require different strategies as your strength and skills develop. That’s why Rings One includes four program phases, each building on the previous one to keep you making consistent progress.
Phase 1
Strength Development
Strength is the foundation of increasing your movement capabilities, so R1 begins by building your strength in the basic movements everything else is built on.
Phase 2
Skill Development
As you continue building strength, Phase 2 introduces more skill focus and complex movements that will ingrain new motor patterns, developing balance and agility.
Phase 3
Flow Acquisition
Once you’ve developed the basic level of body control to execute each skill, we begin building combinations that offer even greater challenge and stimulation.
Phase 4
Flow “Mastery”
After several weeks of strength and skill practice, you’ll work to smooth out the transitions and cut down the rest time for more efficient applied movements.

Here’s what a few of our clients have achieved with Rings One:
I purchased Rings 1 and 2 and although I’m still in Rings 1 I’ve had a drastic change to my body in two months. Your program tied to a good diet has let me drop around 7 lbs of fat and I wanted to thank you for it.
United Kingdom
Rings One has totally changed how I train. You have taught me how to correctly train to gain strength and for my body to move naturally and flow from one movement to another. And at the same time I am learning some absolutely fantastic skills.
My muscles are more solid than ever and so strong. My core strength is better than it has ever been. As you can see from my photo, I used to be a Royal Marine Commando, so I was always fit anyway… but the rings are pushing my muscles and skills more than any Marine circuit!
Lastly, a very important aspect is that this ring training is so much fun!!!!!! I have never enjoyed exercise so much in my life.
Formidable upper-body strength and stability…
Impressive skills like slow, strict muscle-ups…
Conscious control of each and every muscle in your body…
Strong joints and ligaments and healthy, mobile shoulders…
Though R1 is scheduled as a three-month training cycle, you’ll have lifetime access to all the materials, so even if you can’t start immediately, or if you need to take things slow, that’s just fine. You can start when you want and take as long as you want. Your membership includes all future updates.
guaranteed.
Give R1 an honest try. The fact is, if you do the work, you’ll get results.
After the first four weeks, if you’re not measurably, noticeably stronger, we don’t want your money.

We’ve also taken the liberty of including the answers here, since the questions aren’t very enlightening on their own ?

Are gymnastic rings dangerous without coaching?
I’ve thought about emailing or calling Ryan and you guys to thank you for your dedication and work you put into this program. I’m really enjoying rings as opposed to mindless weight lifting, etc., which i didn’t do regularly anyway. I’ve been doing R1 novice and am in my third week of phase 2.
I’m getting a lot stronger and look forward to my workouts. I have always been an athlete, but have recently needed motivation to train. This has been perfect, as I’m 36 and have a family of four with a wonderful, but busy life. R1 allows me to get a good workout in less time. I have no gymnastic experience and am grateful for how well this program fits my lifestyle.
The combination of strength and skill provides fun and motivation. I’m still working on the flexibility part, my chest and shoulders have always been tight. My upper body looks and feels solid since starting this program.
I’ve tried different exercise regimens like weight lifting and P90X, the first one being boring as hell, and the other leaving me drained with not much to show for it.
I used to get sore and lay off for a while, but I’ve learned that my body needs more recovery time, and I have to eat enough calories for muscle growth (just something I’ve learned about myself. You always hear that stuff, but have to experiment on your own).
This program seems perfect for me to meet those needs like nothing I’ve done before. I’m looking forward to getting these rings up in the air more so I can continue progressing. I’m gonna have to get creative.
Additionally, I was able to take my workout with me by hanging rings from a nearby tree when we went to the beach on vacation.
