kid does iron cross

[hype]

[Alessandro Mainente]

In the future this kid will pay the poor knowledge about gymnastic of his father.

Giuliano has been commented several times here on GB. His father is pushing this little kid too hard, and as Alex says he´ll pay for it later. If he damages the epiphyseal plates he´ll see growth disorders (an arm or leg growing less for example), but depending on how hard his father is pushing him, he´ll have emotional disorders too.

 

Young gymnast don´t train for iron cross, the reason is not that the Coaches don´t know how to get there, it´s just not worth the risk of compromised growth.

 

Don´t do it with your kids. And please don´t share this videos on facebook et al. it´s just giving more attention to them, incentivising harder workouts.

 That video is old as is this topic. He's 10 now I think and his little brother is 7. At one point the local authorities actually took over custody of his kids for like 6 months to determine if their exercise was a form of abuse. All sorts of bullshit. Giulliano is actually kinda pudgy these days compared to his abtastic body he used to have.
