  • @raymakerscalisthenics5042
    @raymakerscalisthenics5042 4 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    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.

      Just keep on doing the grip as often as you can! Make interval time periods or try to do as much as you can before your gives in. Your body will adapt. Force it to do it, but respect and listening to its signals if it feels wrong.
      Now make them gains
