Inverted Hang - Rings

The inverted hang is used to strengthen the scaps and can be performed as a single hold as well as for reps.

Cues:

• Body should be in a straight line from shoulders through ankles

• retract and elevate the scaps to resist gravity

• place thighs in front rings to achieve a slight angle that is NOT vertical

Mistakes:

• Hanging vertically

• Allowing scaps to relax and settle into a passive hang (requires vertical position)

• being bent at hips, or arching through spine

• Bending the elbows

Considerations:

• Curling the body and legs up is the easiest method of entry

• When stronger you can enter with a flat back and eventually a fully straight body
