    You just outed it. No one would have got it except for you guys if you had of said nothing.

    So go on then, tell Rohan, on yourself.

    I won't dignify that with a response.

    I don't know how he'll react. My guess is he'll cry, but I think he'll just be really disappointed in you.

    Decent little app for those of us into conditioning and stuff...

    i suppose weight lifters could use it to time the rest periods between failing snatches...

    Probably a silly question, but would I be able to get an accurate measure of my body fat percentage in my local gym?

    Obviously you can't say for definite about my gym, but would most gyms be able to do this?

    Yeah just ask them if they have a body fat calipers. it'll look like this: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTKNW7XujXfoOu6VmeXtpRFWo5rYroLJu5qBmq30Zz9uKrab7fR

    the electric handheld ones are very unreliable.

    Set of gymnast rings have appeared in my gym.

    All I can think to do so far are inverted rows. Anyone else got any ideas. Bear in mind they'll be anchored to a squat rack.

    Dips, pull ups and rows are all I ever use them for.

    You can try gymnastic stuff too, skin the cat etc.

    Drop em down to ground level and to push ups - or put your feet on a bench and go to that level with the rings.

    Stick your feet in them and do planks.

    Put your feet in them and do alternate shoulder taps from a push up position (like a plank on 'roidzz basically)

    Get into a push up position and extend your arms fowards like you're doing a superman.

    Push up position and arms go sideways like a fly.

    Ring dips/pull ups/rows.

    Start working on one arm row variations - the higher the rings from the ground the easier that'll be.

    That's off the top of my head. There's tonnes more!

    Muscle-ups are worth trying too.

    First time out you'd be lucky to be able to support yourself -seriously. Negative only dips would be a good start too, adjust the rings until they are at your sides, bend knees lower yourself, stand up and repeat. Full dips are very hard first time out but you will get used to the stability. The shorter the distance between rings and bar the easier it is.
