  • nice, solid cross. respect.

  • crazy strength there mate

  • That sucks you forgot the grips. I've done that multiple times, and it's quite annoying. haha. Good, strong cross bro!

  • What is the difference between an iron cross and an iron pull?

  • honastly, ure the most retarded persone ive ever seen. not about you forgetting ure grips, but for not even try to do a routine, just suck it up princess.

  • Sweet cross man.

  • hahaha i was all WTF? that was a sucky routine then i read description. stupid grips :P

  • Illustrating the differences in strength accomplishment, the gymnast should always lead any field in ring strength movements, yet do a poor clean & jerk whereas the lighter classes cj men might be able to achieve an IC solely on strength in holding big weights overhead. Vaulters and tumblers have strongest legs of gymnasts. Bell High in Hurst TX had a deep tanned "Mike Smith" circa 1972 who seemed to be able to hold IC long enough to gather cobwebs same was true of Jerry Adrian.

  • hey sam that was good! its me tyra! XD hey hey! im working on doing an iron cross tou just watch and see! was that todd helping you up?

    also... would of grips got to a better score? wonder!

  • Cool!!!

  • forgot grips...been there done that lol

  • Nice. Is it hard to do the iron cross ? It requires lats, no ?

  • I have a cross trainer. It reduces the resistance your muscles must overcome by lever physics. Currently I am working on an iron cross at 60% bodyweight, about 95lbs. Just holding an iron cross for a few seconds like this makes my serratus anterior, lats, and pecs hurt like no other exercise I've ever done. Very, very difficult.

  • Ok man thank you much for the informations.

  • "lever physics" = torque? Vf*d

  • every one mocks male gymnists but not after you see how strong they are.

  • My friends don't mock me...

  • @GymBuggey Only behind your back.

  • is it that importan to bend your album down ore is it open to variations?

  • anyone know what is harder? an IRON CROSS or a ONE ARM PULL UP?

  • Iron Cross

  • depends

  • Iron Cross by far. Unless you somehow are very lacking in your bicep and lat strength. But I'm still not sure if it would be possible to not have the oap by brute muscle alone once the cross is attained.

    My friend who can do the iron cross as a competitive gymnast was able to do the one arm chin with his good arm (the other had a torn biceps tendon) without ever having tried to do it.

  • agreed, iron cross by far. Unless your doing ring finger one arms.

  • iron cross is much harder ! i can do both, i never trained 1 arm chins and i can do 5 or 6 on each arm. i can hold y cross for 5 or 6 seconds and i had 2 train 4 it specifically. p.s, well done man, really good cross ;-)

  • How do you train to develope shoulder strength like that?

  • Nice iron cross!

  • o ya I am such a horrible person for forgeting my grips once in my life

    dude go fuck yourself every gymnast does it atleast once in there career

  • Hahaa!!!

    Owned.

  • Impressive--nice work mate!

  • not the longest routine ive seen!!!

  • hahahaha classic nice call. However that is a very nice cross good stuff man

  • i was doing press to handstands/shoulderstands, Shoot to handstands (bent arms), backlevers, backuprises, backuprise to crosses, backwards roll to L supports, dislocates, Homna to L-crosses, inverted crosses, kip to crosses, etc. when i was 7, i was level 5. =]

    but when i was nine, my coach moved back to Bulgaria and all of my teammates quit because our new coach didn't speak much english; so i quit as well.

    =/

  • What was your coaches name? if i may ask

  • the guy in the video is Nolan Gruver, hes not my coach any more though

  • nice cross! wat level are you?

  • i never use grips and like all my tricks are swing tricks (cast inlocate inlocate back uprise L shoulderstand, back uprise l shoulder stand dislocate dislocate back off) and i never had a problem y didn't you do something like that and where is this

  • yeah but that routine is easy as shit and anyone cud do it with out grips

  • nice but isn't there supposed to be 10 tricks in a routine and a dismount (dislocate dislocate back off?

  • that was sweet. but y didnt u just borrow ur team mates grips?

  • doesn't work out. I had to borrow my friend's grips at a meet and I peeled off! (I need 2's but the only guy I can get them from wasn't there)

  • nice cross but was that ur routine at a meet

  • hahaha I had no routine!!! i forgot my grips and couldn't compete rings or highbar lol

  • Nice iron cross dude!

  • awesome

  • Whoa... that must take some crazy lat strength.

    Do you just keep trying to hold the cross until your strong enough to do it, or do you do pullups, or what?

  • Everytime I see that I always wait for the dude arms to snap off. LOL

  • It's really not hard on your arms...just your pectoral muscles..(man boobs lol)

  • homo dude do you wear aa thong flammer

  • it's always good to train with your coach to help you just to point that you can do 3rd cross with the last strength in you. Or take some elastics and grab each end and hop on rings, then step in the middle end try the iron cross. that are just examples and there are a million more exercises, so just work hard and don't rush your head in wall.

  • Yes AhmadFrenzel, musculus123 is right, Infact I used the elastic bands alot, and still do. Also remember that rings is a very specific event. If you want to get stronger at a strengh move on rings, you have to work that strength move specifically. Liffing a hole bunch of wieghts to make your arms strong ain't gonna do you any good at all on rings. Its all about the specific muscle groups.

    just remember, practice does NOT make perfect

    Perfect Practice Makes Perfect

  • looks effortless! can you give me some advice on learning the iron cross?

  • well that was the first one I have ever competed, And I can do one almost effortless now, that actually goes all the way down and holds, but sure why not? whats your advice?

  • great! i need some advice on learning the iron cross, are there special exercises to do or is it just practise practise practise?

  • Same, I do gymnastics. I don't do highbar atall because it peels my skin of completly.

  • wait so you just did an iron cross for your routine?

    nice... my coach would have never let me do that... it was pretty solid though.

  • yep just one little iron cross, without my grips there was really nothing else I could do lol

  • yeah i used to be a gymnast... rings suck without grips.

    but high bar is far worse =)

  • I'll second that, I currently have 7 rips on my hands owing to the rings and high bar.

    The ironcross was nice. Saw a guy do one inverted last weekend at a competition, very impressive.
