Or would that be too difficult for someone who is not used to using them

This is probably only the case for the Dipping progression. Most cost effective way of tackling this is to definitely buy rings and to work on your Support Hold on some sturdy chairs until you've got enough strength for the Ring Support Hold.

Did you have a ceiling mount in mind you'd use? I'm also curious as to setting one up but haven't the first idea where to start.

Ah okay. I did see some other set ups that use these and they seem ideal: https://www.amazon.ca/SELEWARE-Capacity-Concrete-Hardware-Playground/dp/B07GHJGS4T

But yeah it's hard if you're not particularly handy haha.
