WHAT IF YOU CANNOT PERFORM THE IRON CROSS AFTER 12 WEEKS?
Achieving the Iron Cross is a journey that requires time, dedication, and patience. The 12-week program is designed to set you on the right path, but it's important to remember that mastering such an advanced gymnastics move can take much longer than just a few weeks.
Here’s what you can do if you find yourself struggling to reach the final level
Repetition and Patience: The iron cross is a complex movement that may take a significant amount of time to master. Three weeks, let alone 12, may not suffice for everyone. This training program is designed to progressively build your strength and technique towards achieving the Iron Cross.Revisit and Repeat: If you hit a challenge week where progress seems to stall, don't hesitate to repeat the same week as many times as necessary to feel confident and strong in those exercises.
Alternatively, consider going back a couple of weeks in the program and work your way back up. This can help reinforce your foundation and build more strength and stability.Start Anew with Adjustments: For some, it might be beneficial to restart the program from the beginning, this time increasing the duration of holds and the intensity of each exercise where possible. This method allows you to continue building strength and endurance while also improving technique. Remember, the journey to mastering the iron cross is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.
Celebrate your progress, remain patient with your body, and keep pushing your limits. The persistence and dedication you bring to this challenge will pay off in not just your ability to perform the iron cross, but in all aspects of your fitness journey.
