It seems like the secret to get any skill is to do attempts then do the negative then assisted and just repeat them every single workout. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I've learned from your tutorials, thanks bro.
man this tutorial fit me like a glove, i just bought rings and wanted to start working on the false grip and many other basics but my favorite move has always been the iron cross, thanks a lot
Wow barkage that was a helpful tutorial thanks! Btw In the of the video you asked us if there's any other skill we would like to see and this gave me and idea Maybe a couple of quick videos talking about skills in depth combined with what slows down your progress and what boosts your performance! I don't know if it's possible to make those kind of videos but you have a lot of information and experiences so I think it would be really helpful for beginners and advanced athletes! Thanks:)!
Hey Barkage, on the note of injuries, could you make a video on how to avoid bicep tendon injuries and tears? I want to be able to eventually progress onto harder skills in the future such as maltese and etc, but I’ve heard stories about people who tore their bicep without any warning signs from their body, which makes me wonder, how do you know when your tendons and joints are conditioned enough to progress in these more stressful moves?
Ah yes, that’s a great topic for a future video! Thanks for the suggestion 🙏! I can explain more when I make the vid, but this is why it is very important that you don’t rush progress. The skills should not be painful so if something feels strange when you’re attempting, then you probably shouldn’t go for it. A lot of it is just listening to your body
Thanks hahaha! And in my opinion, L sit is a little bit harder, but the different really isn’t that significant at all. Both are ranked the same in the code of points as well
Do not attempt the butterfly pull until iron cross pulls are mastered. This skill is even harder than the full planche on rings. One requires prerequisite overhead shoulder mobility and flexibility as well as strength in that end range.
Why do I feel IMMENSE amount of pain in my neck to shoulder area, between upper pecs and traps AFTER I dismount from iron cross, not during? Question being, where does this pain come from EDIT: and neck
QUESTION: After knowing the dangers of practicing this skill, I have the following question: for how many days per week should I train for doing the iron cross?
@@barkage It's interesting because it says in the book Overcoming Gravity that 100% of BW added Weighted Pull-up equals an Iron Cross. And he's a long-time professional gymnast.
@@umtluyum_streetlifting maybe he meant in terms of difficulty that a 100% bw weighted pullup Is as difficult as an iron cross but thats kinda weird tbh . Its like saying a 100% bw weighted dip Is as hard as a front lever or something like they're very different movements
Hey I am working on the planche at the moment and am struggling with the straddle planche. I can do adv tuck good form for 10 seconds but when I attempt straddle planche my legs feel super heavy and I have to lean way past my hips to get my legs to feel lighter. What am I doing wrong
You need to get stronger front deltoids. Your strength is the problem. That’s why you have to lean forward and why your legs feel heavy. Strengthen your front deltoid through bent arm pressing. Get a Bodyweight military press or a 100KG/225 lb dip. That’s how you do it. That is the truth for the planche. Trust me.
Aha lol. Try and get it to 100KG. If you can dip your Bodyweight or higher it’s brilliant. There’s a big misconception with planche work. For example - the progressional holds (tuck planche, then advanced tuck, then straddle, then full) Don’t get me wrong, that works. It only works if you are 4 years old, 3’2” and are just new into gymnastics. By the time gymnasts are 6 or 7 years old, the majority can hold a full planche. It’s because they are extremely small and light, and it’s easier for their shoulders to gain strength. Progressional planche training also works very well for somebody who is under 5’3” and is about 55KG
His loop ring support hold is part of it, but there is a smarter way to even do that part. His massive experience let him get away with this. Again, this is not the way.
