What it is
Starting in a ring support, you lower slowly into a deep dip, then step or jump back to the top. The slow eccentric builds strength and stability for full ring dips. Keep the rings close to the body.
Technique tips
- Start in a locked ring support
- Lower over three to five seconds
- Keep the rings close to your sides
- Reset at the top with your feet
How to track your progress
Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
