Gymnastics help?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Gymnastics help?

This is probably a stab in the dark, but I'll give it a try....
Does anyone here do gymnastics? More specifically on the gymnastic rings?
I have no formal training but since I was a kid we have had a homemade swing on an oak tree with gymnastic rings attached higher up, the swing section is detachable. I still use the rings for excercising, but recently I've been trying to progress a bit further, I'm trying to do "muscling up" (where you pull yourself up from underneath to a point where you are holding the rings with your hands by your waist),but I don't know how to get through the transitional stage. I can happily pull myslef up from underneath, and I know I can hold myself when I'm up there, even lowering myself so my arms are at 90 degrees, I just cant figure out how to get between those two sections without murdering my shoulders!

maybe if you get ur dancers to do what you are trying to do, then i might be able to help. i didn't mention it on chat, but i wanted to take on gymnastics since i was really young. i don't have ur rings.. and i'm jealous now.. but i'm sure you can get a gymnastics for idiots somewhere.. (and i'm talking about the 'idiot's guide to' series.

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

Prepare for the worst, for you have read the worst.

Thank you, Mr. Nike. I don't know a lot of people at TLR who are gymnasts. You should Google around and see if there are any online communities dedicated to it.

Mr. Nike ??

I meant -just DO it- in the sense of; No, try not. Do or do not, There is no try- Yoda, ESB

Just do it is Nike's slogan. Duh

I use to be a gymnast and got a silver medal in the rings...back in the day when I was 10. But I'm not sure what your talking about.

OK, this is the very crappy drawing I made of the position on the rings I'm trying to get to, the technique for it is known as "muscling up", I just screw up in the transition from arms hanging below the rings to having them on top.
