Build the strength to defy gravity.

BARS & RINGS combines serious bodyweight strength training with technical gymnastics progressions. The goal is not simply to become stronger — it is to develop strength you can control and apply to demanding skills on bars and rings.

Build. Control. Apply.

Training progresses from foundational strength and positioning toward increasingly demanding skills, holds and transitions.

PHASE 1

BUILD

  • Straight-arm strength
  • Pulling strength
  • Pushing strength
  • Core tension
  • Shoulder stability
  • Ring support
PHASE 2

CONTROL

  • Static holds
  • Lever positions
  • Controlled transitions
  • False grip
  • Scapular control
  • Technical repetition
PHASE 3

APPLY

  • Advanced progressions
  • Longer holds
  • Reduced assistance
  • Skill combinations
  • Greater range of motion
  • Independent attempts

Strength with a purpose.

Each advanced movement is approached through scalable progressions according to your current strength and level.

Iron Cross
Develop straight-arm strength and shoulder stability through progressive cross-specific drills.
Planche
Build forward lean, scapular strength, core tension and straight-arm support.
Maltese
Develop advanced horizontal pushing strength and total-body tension.
Inverted Cross
Build inverted ring control, shoulder stability and straight-arm strength.
Muscle-Up
Train pulling power, false grip, transition mechanics and strong ring support.
Bars + Rings Strength
Build transferable pushing, pulling, core and stabilization strength.

More than raw strength.

Power
Produce more force through demanding pushing and pulling movements.
Control
Maintain deliberate body positioning instead of relying on momentum.
Stability
Control unstable ring positions and maintain strong shoulder organization.
Body Tension
Connect shoulders, trunk, hips and legs into one coordinated system.
Technique
Learn the positions that allow strength to transfer into real skills.
Bodyweight Mastery
Build greater control over your own body through progressively more demanding movements.
