تمرينات سحب البار مقابل السحب الدائري: اكتشف أيهما يناسب أسلوبك التدريبي

الحقائق السريعة

• Precisely due to the mobile nature of the rings, the grip can vary during the pull-ups, so that throughout the movement we will use the grip that is most comfortable for us on a biomechanical level at all times (which is usually a grip between neutral and prone).
•  Working with unstable material is not very effective when it comes to developing a very high maximum force (and can also be very harmful), and therefore if you want to develop good technique and good coordination it is worth resorting to the ring pull-ups, but if you want to end up moving a large amount of kilos, barbell work will be better.
•  Since the rings are not fixed, the latter require a much higher level of coordination and motor control applied throughout the contraction, although in exchange the activation of the stabilizing muscles (in this case the core , and part of the shoulder muscles ) will be considerably higher.

Pull-ups are the calisthenics exercise that has become most popular in the world of fitness, and it is not surprising since very little material is needed to perform them and yet the return on investment that this movement represents on our profits is very great. in terms of improving strength and in terms of general muscle mass gain .

There are a large number of types of pull-ups; one-handed, L-shaped, supine, prone, neutral, with alternating grip, open, closed… But do you know the differences between bar pull-ups and ring pull-ups?

Bar Pull-ups Vs Ring Pull-ups: They Are Not the Same!

Although both types of pull-ups seem very similar exercises that involve the same muscles (mainly the elbow flexors , the latissimus dorsi and even core muscles such as the rectus abdominis largely depending on the weight used), there are certain differences when it comes to to the stability, joint health, difficulty and strength gain that each of them entails .

Stability.

It’s obvious, doing pull-ups on a bar allows us to have a stable point from which to hang that we know will remain motionless while we execute the entire range of motion of the repetition.

We know this is something that does not happen in ring pull-ups. Since the rings are not fixed, the latter require a much higher level of coordination and motor control applied throughout the contraction, although in exchange the activation of the stabilizing muscles (in this case the core , and part of the shoulder muscles ) will be considerably higher.⁽¹⁾

This is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just something we have to deal with if we don’t have a lot of strength yet, but if ring pull-ups are performed correctly the shoulder might be able to develop a greater ability to keep itself and the structures supporting it stable surround.

صحة المفاصل.

In bar pull-ups we can find three different scenarios; that the grip is completely prone, that the grip is completely supine, or that the grip is neutral.

Precisely due to the mobile nature of the rings, the grip can vary during the pull-ups, so that throughout the movement we will use the grip that is most comfortable for us on a biomechanical level at all times (which is usually a grip between neutral and prone).⁽²⁾

Being more restrictive with your grip can mean that certain joints, such as the wrist, are put under greater stress.

What People Prefer: Bar vs Ring Pull-Up Poll.

A recent visual poll was conducted to compare the popularity of Bar Pull-Ups vs Ring Pull-Ups, using a clean bar-chart style similar to modern web polling tools.

The results clearly show that Bar Pull-Ups received 1,200 votes, making them the preferred choice for most participants, while Ring Pull-Ups gathered 900 votes, indicating strong support from individuals who enjoy the challenge of instability and joint-friendly movement patterns.

Overall, the poll highlights how user preferences vary based on training goals, strength progression, and comfort levels during the exercises.

Difficulty.

Logically, ring pull-ups are more complicated to perform , and if you have ever tried to do them you know what I’m talking about.

Performing them with a strict technique is work that generates a very high activation of all the muscles that we have previously mentioned, and this can be very hard for a person with an insufficient level of training .

Strength Gain.

This time it is the bars that take the lead. Working with unstable material is not very effective when it comes to developing a very high maximum force (and can also be very harmful), and therefore if you want to develop good technique and good coordination it is worth resorting to the ring pull-ups, but if you want to end up moving a large amount of kilos, barbell work will be better.⁽³⁾

⭐ رأي الخبراء.

Dr. Stuart McGill, world-renowned spine biomechanist, often emphasizes that exercises requiring greater control over unstable tools (like rings) demand higher core stiffness and motor control, which can improve joint stability over time for trained individuals — but may overload beginners.

Strength coaches like Pavel Tsatsouline and Charles Poliquin also note:

• For functional strength, joint health, and long-term athletic development, unstable tools (like rings) can offer more balanced muscle activation and healthier movement patterns.
• For maximum strength, stable surfaces (like a pull-up bar) allow better force production.

الخلاصة.

In general, although ring pull-ups involve greater instability, this is compensated for by less joint stress and greater development of motor control. These would be the equivalent of using dumbbells instead of bars ; They allow for freer and more natural movement which would perhaps be optimal for someone who suffers from wrist problems in particular.

On the other hand, if your intention is to generate the maximum possible amount of strength, my advice is that you opt for bar pull-ups if they do not cause you any type of pain.
