    Since it is my b-day today, I got money, am getting my job back after taking a leave for surgery. Since I now have moolah, I was thinking about getting some gymnastics rings to supplement my workouts, and just to have some fun. So has anyone had any experience with the power rings from ringtraining.com? They have a new plastic type coming out, but just in general, what is your experiences with them as a company, and with their previous metal power rings? Thanks guys. Also, what can these things be hung on, just anything like a tree or back porch aluminum beam? Thanks in advance.

    I don't think you will find many people that have them as the elite rings have only just come out. They are reportedly better in every respect and they are discontinuing there last ones so they must be good. If i had somewhere i could hang them and use them to there full potential then I would get some. They can be hung on practically everything but depending on what movements you are doing depends on the head clearence you have from where you hang them- last thing you want to do is bang your sweed on a chin bar while you are doing a muscle up. :eek:

    Where are you planning on hanging the rings anyway?

    Probably the back porch, on a big aluminum beam. There's no screen anymore because it all blew out from hurricane wilma (I'm in Florida, and got pretty much a direct hit from that sucker) so it'll loop around the beam. It should be strong enough, seeing as how my dad could hop on it (240 lbs.).:D

    Yeah, this idea got shot down by the parents. O well... I'll just spend it on RC Car parts....(my money pit). That, and I can get some more plates. That couldn't possibly hurt to have more weight.:D

    I didnt know so much could be done on rings. I feel i could only make use of them once i can do a muscle up. I find it hard to believe how a muscle up isn't even credited with any points.

    Thanks. Unfortuneately, mom and dad won't let me order rings. According to them, we have no room.:( And our screen porch will be fixed in a few months, so there goes that option. DOH! I need to start looking for a real gymnastics gym I suppose. Or make my own rings/tower combo...:D
