Short answer: Set both rings to equal height, begin with a high incline and turn them slightly outward at the top if comfortable. Keep straps vertical and the body rigid. Lower the rings gradually as control improves.
Safe setup
Anchor rings to a structure rated for body weight, check buckles and place them far enough from obstacles. Shorter straps generally move less.
Technique
Grip firmly, keep rings close to the body and lower with elbows controlled. Prevent the rings from drifting wide. Finish with straight arms without forcing an extreme turnout.
Progression
Start near chest height, build 3 sets of 12, then lower the rings. Progress to floor-height reps, deeper range and eventually weighted work.
Ring versus stable handles
Rings add instability; push-up bars provide a stable neutral grip. Instability is a different challenge, not automatically superior.
Keep unstable reps controlled and progress visible
RepSaga rewards the clean push-up work you complete while ring height provides a simple progression marker.
Frequently asked
Are ring push-ups harder?
Usually, because each ring moves independently and requires more stabilization.
How high should the rings be?
Start high enough to complete 6–12 controlled repetitions.
