Seeing current Olympic wads displaying mindblowing all round strength and body tension on the rings got me thinkin a wee bit:
Does anyone use rings as a training aid, and, if so, any they good?
A quick google suggests that rings are seriously versatile training tools.
Interestingly, from my point of view, google also reveals that people over 75 kgs and/or 6 ft will seriously struggle to ever do things like the iron cross move due to something like Torque=arm length x mass.
Can anyone here do any of the waddy moves associated with this bit of kit? If so, how tall / fat are you?

it might be worth pointing out that since dense has started training on rings 2 things have happened.
1: he has turned into a triangle
2: he can no longer climb on rock unless the holds are jugs that happen to be swinging about

doing an iron cross is a statement of strength. psyched for training!
