Ring Dips
Grip a pair of gymnastic rings and press up to support, keeping the rings turned out and your arms locked. Lower yourself by bending the elbows until your shoulders dip below your hands, controlling the constant wobble of the rings. Press back up to full lockout while keeping the rings stable against your sides. The unstable surface demands far more stabilization than bar dips, heavily taxing the triceps, lower chest, and shoulders.
