Assisted victorian (on floor) - push or pull day? I'm starting assisted victorian on floor (with elbowls pushing into the floor). Should i train it during push or pull day, and why? I'm just confused. It's pushing against floor but muscle activatiln is more like with pull (of back muscles).
There's no such thing as push as far as your muscles are concerned. Muscle generate force through contraction (ie "pulling"), so every exercise is a pulling exercise. There's a difference for your joints and ligaments, they experience pushing and pulling (compression and de-compression), but not your muscles.
the best thing about still rings gymnastics is that there isn't a gymnast who is the BEST at everything; while Chen Yibing is one of the best ever perhaps the best ever(most gold medals as a ring gymnast), his maltese is not as good as other gymnasts(Yang Minyong, Yuri van Gelder) or his Iron cross(not as good as Yuri Chechi). His rings are the most still I've seen besides van Gelder's. He hasn't made any combinations though named after him or attempted to do revolutionary moves like the Victorian Cross(Danny Rodriguez) or butterfly muscle up(Alexandr Balandin).
One of my favourite athletes, he is a OG pioneer of reverse planche and impossible dips and completely mogged everyone else in pull by far at his time and would still be one of the greatests today if he maintained peak level.
Im not the best one to give advice since i cant do this skill but assuming you have a solid base of touch frontlever, probably Just doing lots of Wide touch and Wide front pullups. And when you are pretty good at them you can try It and you'll probably get it. And maybe doing It with bands could help too but im not sure
@@evening_sw Yes you are right. Already have a wide fl touch with perfect form all i need is a wider bar and to clean up my wide pulls since it seems my body automatically uses momentum when doing them.
