A new training essay is now available from Coach Sommer.
The Xtreme Rings will move anywhere & anytime within 360 degrees. And to make it even more interesting, the direction they will move will always be toward your weakest area. Hence adequately preparing your stabilizer muscles for the rigors of ring strength training is of supreme importance for future ring strength gains. It is interesting to note that L-sits, straddle Ls, press handstands, planches and iron crosses all begin from one common prerequisite; the support hold.

You know the day you're practicing the snatch and you just keep losing the bar forward or back and although you have plenty of power, it's just not happening. Now one of the main reasons will be that your technique sucks and you need to strip some weight off and practice, practice, practice...
