Why are dips and pullups on rings harder?
Are exercises done on gymnastic rings harder because of the instability factor of the rings?

Chins can actually be easier because your hands can rotate to the position in which your biceps, brachialis(sp?) and forearm muscles are at their optimum, as opposed to the fully pronated or fully suppinated position on a horizontal bar. But dips on rings are incredibly hard.
I wish I had a pair to practice on.

Actually, not to get too technical on our simple thread here, but the brachialis inserts on the ulna, the non-rotating bone of the forearm, so wrist position doesn't affect it's recruitment, it's a pure flexor of the elbow, that's it. I think you're referring to the brachioradialis, which is a forearm muscle, but crosses the elbow joint.

It's the instability.
Besides.....you could just rotate the rings so that you had a supinated grip anyway......

Really? Didn't know that. I'm sure I've read different, but it wouldn't be the first time I've read misinformation on lifting. So thanks for the correction. |

Hmm did pullups a while ago in a pair of rings. As long as you keep your body relatively stable, they don't seem more difficult than when using a chinning bar.
