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!

Iron Cross is definitely a lot harder! Once you've got the transition on the muscle up nailed then it's easy to progress IMO. 95% of the difficulty is in about 10% of the move. How tall are you btw? Have you done any planche training?

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?

Bench press isn't essential - squats and deadlifts are the two big ones for me. In fact i'd put standing barbell press above bench press in terms of it's value as a "proper compound"

[didelydoo]

I haven't benched or deadlifted this year!

[ViperPict]

Stupidly humid yesterday but still a decent workout.

Bench: 12 x 130kg, 8 x 140kg
Trap-bar deadlift: 12 x 180kg

Yep, your slow one is very nice. Weighted one just about - good enough to help with progression.

I've 3 repped 200kg a few months ago. 10kg weight loss seems to have taken my squat down too. I think If I did a 1 3 rep attempt now I'd get 190kg for one set.

[Regiment]

8.5 mile run, no walking at all, just straight through from start to finish. Felt great, using my new iPod shuffle, it definitely helped me relax and drift off mentally.

Best place to be mate! You'll crush the miles in zero time
