Hangboard or rock rings?

[Pilchuck71]

Looking to incorporate hang board training into my regimen and am wondering peoples opinions on hangboard versus rock rings.

I am already doing a pull up regimen including frenchies on a free swinging pull up bar.

I understand the concept of grip training on more realistic hold shapes versus the pull up bar.

I am looking specifically for recommendations on:

1) boards versus rings

2) Which brands are preferable and why for either device

Thanks in advance,

Tyson

Rings (Metolius)! Much easier on the old elbows.

 

Neither the board nor rings are a substitute for a gym, but they're nice for occasional use and especially stretching. Get boring fast tho.....

 

I'd build an 8x8 tiltable wall if you are really serious about training and have no gym.

Both... do muscle ups, levers and pull ups on the rings.. do hangs on the board to work your weakest holds (ie, pinches, monos, crimps and so on)

if you have to get just one, get the rings - you can do almost anything you could on a hangboard, more portable, cheaper, easier on the elbows and shoulders. I rigged mine with a sideways angle as well to do pinches easier. Don't do monos for the love of god

for what its worth i use rings.

you can easily bolt the rockrings to a board if you want the rigid thing. But probably would not want to saw a hangboard in half to make the danglers.

Thank you folks.

I think the rings it is.

I appreciate the input.
