    Guys, listen to Dominik here, especially when it comes to the training frequency. As a rings gymnast myself, I experienced an incredible amount of both fatigue and raw pain when going from x1/week of cross to x2 or even x3/week of cross. Give your elbows time to recover.
    If you're adamant on doing more work than that, I highly recommend you reconsider. You don't need the extra volume. If anything, do some extra planche work, particularly more of a volume approach.

      @@yerbal8882 ha! I realized that I need to really improve my overall fitness and strength before I focus on the cross. So, while I've made great strides in increasing my overall work capacity (e.g. I can now do 45 pull ups, 72 push ups, 108 squats, 45 burpees in 30 mins without feeling like I'm going to pass out) - my cross is still more like an "M" instead of a "T". How about you?

I would LOVE to learn it, i have never done calisthenics before but due to the weight Training my strentgh is not too Bad. Do you think that it is smart to start just with the cross?

    How useful are ring archer pushups for straight arm pushing strength, does it carry over to planche, frong lever and iron cross?
    Does it all train the right bicep tendons or do all the exercises use a different angle and different muscles?

    • @cocoricococo9494
      @cocoricococo9494 4 года назад +1

      During archer push-ups the goal is to put the less tension possible on the straight to make the arm doing a push ups works harder. If you are a beginner don’t go for skill training until you have built a great fondation on basic exercise. I personnaly made the mistake to train for skills to much soon. In the video he said that you should build up your weighted ring dips (with a lockout at the end I think) and he is the guy that gives the best advices on calisthenics.
