Timy7 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 So I have taken the necessary steps, minus the handstand on rings, frankly Ill hit my maltese before I get that.I cant seem to lower all the way, im like an inch above where I need to be, I tried what a fellow gymnast recommended for me, try an L cross, I could lower rock solid perfect then pull back out no problems......How, why?

DennisGoossens Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, I think it's easy-er because you back is more round, and you're body mass is more compact, also a few other muscles are used because of the moving gravitypoint (sorry bad english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 You felt stronger in that position where you could activate your muscles (you have a weak link in chain somewhere in IC and in L-seat you leaned on other stronger muscles so the weak link of chain dissapeard).For me is the same no difrence at all.

ELITELIFTER Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 ^ L-sit cross press press to maltese is going to be easier than regular cross simply because your center of gravity is farther forward during the transition. Although, I to find straight cross easier to hold compared to l - cross because I can role my shoulders forward, whereas with an L cross it seems to involve a lot more muscle to actually hold.

Blairbob Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Some have said L-Cross can be more chest dominant. Damned if I know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Rose Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It's all about the center of gravity! Just keep trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
