How difficult is it to perform a muscle-up or Iron Cross?
Gymnasts categorise skills on a scale ranging from the easier end of the spectrum – A, to the more difficult moves – E. The muscle-up is classed as an A-level skill and iron cross a B-Level. However, both moves are extremely difficult for the average person. They may seem unachievable at first but with dedicated, consistent training it is possible. Take time to work up to them and make steady, incremental improvements. It’s not a process that can be rushed. It may seem unachievable at first, and you may wonder how you can incrementally work up to the skill but many people have had success using resistance bands and controlling the amount bodyweight involved in the exercise.
