Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Ring Self-Assisted Chin-Up.
The ring self-assisted chin-up uses gymnastic rings at a height where your feet can rest on the floor, providing partial support as you build pulling strength. The supinated (palms-toward-you) grip places greater emphasis on the biceps and allows a more natural shoulder path than a standard bar chin-up.
