In the deadlift, the bar should move over the middle of the foot, essentially traveling straight up and down. Effective coaching often involves slowing the athlete down to build the kinesthetic awareness the movement requires.

The ring dip is to the bar dip as the squat is to the leg press. The movement requires upper-body strength, stability, and control while bringing the shoulders through full extension. Practicing the ring dip will develop upper-body pressing strength as well as a foundation for more advanced gymnastics movements.
