How to do it
Hang from the rings in a pull-up position with your legs straight or, for increased difficulty, in an L-sit, using a false grip for added comfort during the transition.
Pull until your hands are close to the lower chest and switch to a rings dip position.
Finish the movement by fully extending your arms and repeat.
