Ring Dips
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.
