InfoIcon Exercise Instructions: One-Arm Ring Row

  1. Set the rings to the appropriate height (the lower the rings the more difficult the exercise).
  2. Grip the ring with one arm and lean back until your arm is stright. Alternatively, you can grip both rings but only use one arm during the exercise, and the other for support.
  3. Keep your body as straight as possible and pull your chest up towards the rings as high as you can.
  4. Pause briefly at the top of the exercise and then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position. That is one full repetition.
  5. Finish the set then swap arms and repeat.

Notes:

  • As you become stronger lower the rings to increase the difficulty of the exercise.
  • You will probably notice that your body is difficult to control and sways during the exercise, as you develop this should be minimised.
