Ring Dips are a great exercise to build muscle mass and strength for the chest, triceps, and shoulders.

CrossFit website describes it as such: The ring dip is to the bar dip as the squat is to the leg press. The movement requires upper-body strength, stability, and control while bringing the shoulders through full extension. Practicing the ring dip will develop upper body pressing strength as well as a foundation for more advanced movements.

In recent years, ring training has become very popular among many athletes and in CrossFit.

Benefits of the Ring Dip

The benefit of ring dips over bar dips or other pushing exercises is that they improve your balance, coordination, and body control. They also help in reducing shoulders injury as ring dips strengthen muscles around your shoulder joint. Ring dips are a more challenging exercise then bar dips and will increase your strength and muscles mass without hurting your joints.
