Fitness for Climbing: 9. Rock Rings - One Arm Lock-Offs
35s
In this video we continue our review of how to use hanging rings for climbing fitness. Specifically we’ll review the one arm lock-off exercise, which is a more advanced form of training from the regular lock-offs.
1. Start by grabbing onto both rings, and perform a pull up so that your chin is above your hands and your arms remain close to your body.
2. While in the lock-off position, alternate one arm lock-offs by extending one arm at a time out to the side and back, without dropping your shoulder.
3. Now try again, but with perfect form.
This is a crazy advanced exercise. Don’t be a hero and blow out your shoulder sockets!

Please remember, climbing is inherently dangerous. Climb at your own risk.
