Ring Long Arms Push-up Hold

The Ring Long Arms Push-up Hold is an isometric exercise that targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps.

To perform this hold:

  1. Set the rings at a low height.
  2. Assume a push-up position with your arms extended and hands gripping the rings.
  3. Engage your core and maintain a straight line from head to heels.
  4. Hold this position for the desired duration, keeping your arms straight and body stable.

How to perform the Ring Long Arms Push-up Hold

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Ring Long Arms Push-up Hold using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your pectoralis major.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your pectoralis major rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
