RTO push-ups also called Ring turn out pushups is essentially a push-up combined with a ring turn out at the end.

The RTO front support (shown on right) is a very common position used in gymnastics to move into straight arm holds like the maltese or iron cross.

Performing Rto pushups will strengthen your scapula, rotator cuff, biceps, lats, and pec minor to a much higher degree than regular push-ups.

It also strengthens the ligaments in your arms so that when you start to train straight arm exercises like the back lever, planche, L-sit you body will be prepared.

The RTO will also better your ability to perform scapula depression and abduction. Furthermore, performing the abduction will mean your push-ups will have a larger range of motion.

They're very simple to do. Set-up like you're about to perform a regular push-up on the rings.

Then perform the push-up and on the way up as your arms are straightening, turn your arms so that the inside of your elbow will be facing forward at a 45degree angle as shown in the picture on the right
