My gym just got a set, I’ve been experimenting with them as a warm up on shoulder days. Gets blood moving for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These activities ppl do at crossfit are harmful and useless outside of crossfit. Heres a quick T-Nation read. https://www.t-nation.com/training/3-shoulder-killers-to-avoid I agree with them that rings are dangerous if not done correctly.

YYZgeddylee Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 ropes are a good way to add variety to a boring conditioning program, make you breath hard and sweat. rings are super versatile, they'll make you a different kind of strong. check out chad waterbury's videos. Buy a Jungle Gym rather than TRX, much better design, better quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Just a movement that adds a bit of excitement for folks that otherwise do not really enjoy working out. A lot of fitness trends are simply new fads to attract customers. Functional movements and sport specific training aside, any movement that creates resistance or cardio demand is some form of exercise.
