Uneven Pull Ups, also called Uneven Chin Ups, are an effective exercise for the back and arm muscles when performed on gymnastic rings. The rings are set at different heights, creating an uneven load and making the workout more intense. This exercise is a great preparation for one-arm pulling movements like the One Arm Pull Ups or the Archer Pull Up.

One-arm pull-ups on gymnastic rings are among the most challenging pull-up exercises out there. Anyone who can already handle high loads in weighted pull-ups or perform multiple clean repetitions of archer pull-ups has a solid foundation to start learning the one-arm pull-up.

When training for the one-arm pull-up, it's important to progress slowly and systematically to avoid overuse injuries, such as elbow or shoulder pain.

Archer pull-ups are a challenging variation of the classic pull-ups where one arm bears more weight in an alternating pattern—similar to drawing a bow. This exercise specifically strengthens the back and bicep muscles. Archer pull-ups (overhand grip) and archer chin-ups (underhand grip) differ only in the grip used and are excellent preparation for one-arm pull-ups.

The Bulgarian Pull-Up is an advanced variation of the classic Pull-Up that particularly strengthens the shoulder girdle and improves upper body stability. Unlike the regular pull-up, the arms are pulled outward rather than kept close to the body, requiring additional control and specifically targeting the shoulders, trapezius, back muscles, as well as the biceps and forearms. This exercise is performed on gymnastics rings and provides an intense stimulus for the entire back.
