Thanks . No chance with an Iron Cross though.
Yes it's a leather dip belt with chain. Can't remember exactly but I'd guess they swing forward a bit. I'll get a video this weekend. Injuries are hell, especially joints. I was quite lucky in that I only had to stop rings and dips but could do everything else as normal.
Iron cross is probably a bit harder, but the progression is simpler so its easier to train. Slow going though, and the temptation to bend the elbows a bit to make it easier (cheating) is ever present!Yes it's a leather dip belt with chain.

www.beastskills.com is a good website for strength/gymnastic stuff.

Hit the legs differently. Leg press does not replicate squats (and obviously vice versa), however you don't NEED to do either movement to build strong legs, but I would strongly suggest you do.
Surely squats and bench press are the 2 big compound moves everyone should be doing?Rest day today for me.
Yesterday, however, looked a little like this.
A1: Bent-over DB Row, 28KG, 3x10
GIANT SET
B1: Narrow Grip EZ-bar Preacher Curls, 20KG, 3x6
B2: Neutral Grip EZ-bar Preacher Curls, 20KG, 3x6
B3: Wide Grip EZ-bar Preacher Curls, 20KG, 3x
C1: Lat. Pulldown, 30KG, 3x12
SUPERSET
D1: BB Row, 50KG, 4x6
D2: Alternating DB Curl, 12kg(ea), 4x12
Rest between sets was kept at around 90-120 seconds depending on fatigue.

Yep, your slow one is very nice. Weighted one just about - good enough to help with progression. 20kg - bit weak so didn't try 22.5 again

Anyone feel like they are getting too old to train?
