One of my most favorite events in the Olympic games has to be Gymnastics.  Probably because it is a perfect example of mastering the human body and what it can do.

When it comes to Men’s Rings Yibing Chen and Wei Yang are the two best in the world right now.

If you watched the Rings finals you may have noticed that every single competetor was, for lack of a better adjective, “jacked”.

How do they get these completely developed physiques?

They don’t do biceps curls or triceps push downs.

They do not have a “shoulders” day.

In fact, when it comes to their training, the asthetics of their physique is the last thing they are concerned with.  They train completely to be the best at what they do.  When you train to be the best at something you can not afford to waste time.  You can not afford to waste energy.  Everything useless gets tossed and only the truly important and effective techniques are used.

It’s something to think about next time you take to the gym.  Could you be doing something more effective with your time and energy.

Anyway, if you’re interested in doing some bad ass ring training go here.
