Van Gelder

## Description

The Van Gelder is an advanced gymnastics rings dynamic strength element.

It is described as so in the FIG code of points: "*From planche, lower horizontally and slowly to hanging scale rearways and press to swallow (2 s.) or from swallow same to planche or planche to planche."* It is essentially a transition between planche and maltese by bouncing through the backlever. Note that every transition is possible except starting an ending in a maltese. In other words, one of your positions must be a planche. Maltese to maltese is also a skill, but not a Van Gelder.

The most common mistake on this movement is losing the horizontal line of the body on the way up. We also often see athletes performing a Van Gelder using a partial range of motion, often not going deep enough in the backlever, more rarely barely going higher than maltese.

## History

The skill was attributed to Dutch gymnast Yuri van Gelder who performed it in 2009. However, it is believed that Chinese gymnast Yan Mingyong performed it before.

Due to the similarity in skills, it's highly probable that it inspired Zanetti to create his own move.

This skill gained a lot of popularity the following years after its creation but quickly became rarer after 2015 (due to the difficulty of a perfect execution).

However, it became way more popular in street workout after Italian athlete Carlo Figus displayed tremendous control over this element.

## Prerequisites

The Van Gelder can be a dangerous move for the shoulders. Maltese and planche on rings should be comfortable skills for you before going for the Van Gelder, as well as maltese to planche. Experience in Nakayama will also help you understand the mechanics of the movement.

## Carry-over

Training the Van Gelder pattern will give extra strength in lots of different areas due to the important range of motion of the movement. You will improve you planche strength, maltese strength, as well as hefesto strength (being able to initiate a movement from a backlever). The most notable carry-over must be to the Zanetti skill, which follows the same pattern.

## Difficulty

The Van Gelder is rated E in the FIG code of points and is therefore an elite movement.

In the Burningate code of points, Van Gelder is not mentioned, but backlever to maltese and maltese to planche are, respectively 6,7 and 6 points. A full Van Gelder would therefore bring 12,7 points (more than a Caruso!)

Slightly Mischievous Bendy (SM Bendy) is a version of Bendy (From the game **Bendy And The Ink Machine**) who is a parody of **Evil Bendy** (hence the name pattern) he was created as somewhat of a joke by **NexiCide (AKA Rikuplayz)** but whos to say he couldn't become something more later down the line.

## Apperance

SM Bendy looks pratically alike to the normal bendy we all know and love with very minor differences the only promonent differences are that instead of being black and yellow or black and white he is black and grey and his bowtie lacks the middle part, he also has a devil tail similar to that of that one Bendy plush before the official merch ever came out.

## Lore

now unlike for example Evil Bendy's Lore SM Bendy's Lore follows a vaguely similar path to the normal bendy and the ink machine but with more jokes and silly humour (such as **"Joey Drew Studios"** being called **"Bobby Cupboard Studios"**) in that he was created one day and the rest is history.

## Other tidbits

also unlike Evil Bendy is that SM Bendy has almost everyone from BATIM in his universe albeit with difference names or appearance. for example: instead of Henry Stein he's now called Gerry (Jerry) G. Gerald, Boris is known as Not-So-Mischievous Boris, Alice is known as Less Mischievous Alice, Sammy Lawrence is known as Tony Louis and Joey Drew is known as Bobby Cupboard.

he's also familar with **Buddi The Menace Demon**

Pineda

The Pineda is an advanced dynamic gymnastics strength movement.

## Description

It is described as so in the FIG code of points: *"Pull with straight arms and body through momentary front lever to cross or L-cross (2 s.)."* Note that there is no need to hold the frontlever before executing the movement; it is therefore possible to use a bounce motion.

The most common mistake in this movement is to bend the arms in the pull. It is obviously way harder to do it with straight, locked out arms, as it should be done. Other mistakes are pulling to a low cross and then pushing back up, or ending up too high in the cross.

## History

The element was first performed by Mexican gymnast Antonio Telesforo Pineda in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games and was given a D value.

It is the precursor of every movement starting in a frontlever position: Pham, Bhavsar, Petrounias and Tsukahara 2. It may also have influenced the Caruso.

Sadly, most gymnasts performed this element with improper form (most often bent arms) so it was removed from the FIG Code of Points in 2021. Indeed, doing it with a flexion of less than 45° would lead to a recognition of the movement with a small deduction.

It is still widely performed by street workout athletes nowadays, but often with bent arms.

Fun fact: American gymnast Miguel Pineda often performed the skill in his routines.

## Prerequisites

The Pineda can be a dangerous move for the shoulders if executed badly. Obvious prerequisites are a good iron cross hold (at least 8 seconds) and being proficient at frontlever. Experience in straight arm posterior strength (victorian cross, SAT) will also greatly help you learn the proper movement.

## Carry-over

The Pineda has tremendous strength carry-over to any straight arm posterior skill, such as victorian cross. It can also be considered a prerequisite of any movement of the Pineda family.

Although being a straight arm movement, it has some carry-over to frontlever touch.

## Difficulty

The Pineda was rated D in the FIG code of points.

There is an elements called "frontlever to cross L-sit" which can be considered as the Pineda in the Burningate code of points. It is unspecified whether it is performed with straight arm. It is however rated 4 points, and marked as a pushing movement. This rating seems low and the category, wrong, as Pineda would better be a pulling movement.

Pineda is considered an elite skill.
Until I Can Do It

*Until I Can Do It* (UICDI), sometimes called *UNTIL YOU CAN DO IT*, is a training method in where the desirable goal is being able to complete a programmed training in itself.

## Example

Let's say an athlete programs a training as follows:

- 3\*15 pull ups

- 3\*20 dips

- 3\*30 push ups

With each time 2 minutes of rest between two sets.

The first time he tries the session, he's able to do: 15, 12 then 8 pull ups, 19, 14 then 10 dips, 30, 25 and finally 21 push ups.

The second time he tries the session (2 days later), he's able to do 15, 15 and then 12 pull ups, 20, 17 an then 15 dips, and finally 30, 29 and 24 push ups.

After a few tries, he's finally able to complete the training.

## Advantages and drawbacks

The biggest advantages of this training method is the ease to track progress and the added volume throughout the sessions. It also allows yourself to always push past your limits to break the numbers of the last training, while also aiming for a rep goal.

This method is definitely suited for people who are aiming to do endurance training, or who want to improve their combos. You can use a full combo as an UICDI goal, although it may fall in the blurry range between a skill goal and an UICDI session.

However, always be careful not to choose too dangerous exercises. As UICDI usually pushes your body to failure, you will not always have the correct form on it and might injure yourself.

Dragon Press

## Description

The dragon press is an isometric strength skill in which a person is in a dragon flag position (horizontal with their lower back off the ground), but with their hands and arms to the side of the body, next to their torso.

## Execution

Because the back is on the floor, it's painful and very difficult to perform a dragon press with retracted scapulae. It's preferrable to keep them neutral, but not protracted.

As any posterior chain lever movement, hips can be neutral or in a posterior pelvic tilt. An anterior pelvic tilt, exaggerating the extension of the body, is acceptable.

The arms and legs must remain straight throughout the hold.

## History

The dragon press was created by Matteo Spinazzola on September 26th, 2013.

On June 22nd, 2017, Steven Dupuis performed the first one finger dragon press.

On November 17th, 2017, Steven Dupuis performed the first one-armed dragon press.

On March 24th, 2018 he held a one-armed one finger dragon press.

Ricardo Tiezzi managed to hold a 44 seconds dragon press in 2021.

## Prerequisites

It's better to have a solid front lever (at least 7-10 seconds) before going for this move.

Some experience with the parallel bars victorian and the dragon flag will also help you learn this movement.

## Carry-over

The dragon press has a small carry-over to other posterior chain skills: mainly the parallel bars victorian, or the frontlever. It has almost no carry-over to the frontlever touch.

## Difficulty

The dragon press is an intermediate skill. It is rated 1,8 in the Burningate code of points.

Colak

## Description

The Colak is an advanced gymnastics dynamic strength movement.

It is described as so in the FIG code of points: "*Vertical pull up with straight arms to V-cross (2 s.)."* It is essentially a butterfly with a V-cross as ending position.

Common mistakes are to bend the arms during the pulling phase, and to land in an iron or L- cross position. You're not supposed to land in a cross and then raise to V-cross but to land in a perfect V-cross position as showed in the figure sketch.

## History

The movement was first performed by Turkish gymnast Ibrahim Colak at the 2017 Melbourne City Cup (footage). Although he didn't use the best form in his routine, it's safe to attribute him the skill as he published a much better version in training.

## Prerequisites

Having a butterfly and a V-cross are obvious prerequisites for the Colak, although the mechanics of the movement might differ from a regular butterfly. Indeed, raising your legs as you're pulling might make the pull slightly easier due to the added inertia of the legs. Moreover, if you have insuficient pike mobility to do a perfect V-cross, you may prefer to use a more lat-dominant butterfly.

## Carry-over

This movement is quite specific in itsef. It has the same carry-overs as V-cross or butterfly but might not be the most suited movement to learn to gain overall strength.

Learning the Colak using a lat-oriented butterfly and a leant back V-cross may have a good carry-over to learning the Tulloch 2.

## Difficulty

The Colak is ranked as an E movement in the FIG code of points and is therefore an elite movement.
Olympic cross

The Olympic cross is a gymnastics rings strength position. It consists of an Iron cross where your body is twisted: you have one arm in front of you and the other one in your back. It requires great mobility and can be considered a variation of the cross. It is an unilateral skill.

More generally, a skill can be called Olympic when this asymmetry arm in front / arm behind appears. For example, an Olympic maltese by Paul O'Neill.

The awkward position of the cross makes it an abductor movement mainly, with some arm flexion and extension. We advise to train the movement on both sides, as any unilateral skill.

## History

Albert Azaryan was competing for Armenia in the USSR championships where his team was reportedly getting heavily underscored on rings. The Russian judges were telling the Armenian coaches that their athletes weren't holding their strength moves for 3 seconds. Last one to compete, Azaryan held his cross 4 full seconds, turned to one panel of judges to ask them if the hold was long enough. After they answered yes, he turned to the other panel of judges to ask the same question. The gymnast was disqualified because an athlete is not allowed to talk while on the rings, bu the move was called the Azaryan cross as a tribute.

It was banned from rings shortly after.

## Prerequisites

As this movement is very complex by nature, being strong in all areas of straight arm strength is requires. A strong backlever as well as a strong frontlever are mandatory, as well as some experience with the regular cross. The more conditioning, the better, as the skill is very unhealthy for the back shoulder.

## Carry-over

This movement seems very specific in itself.

## Difficulty

The Olympic cross is rated 2 points in the Burningate code of points and is therefore an intermediate movement.
Dragon (grip)

The name dragon is confusing in street workout. On one hand it can refer to the Dragon Flag or Dragon Press, which are similar posterior movements. On the other hand it refers to a way of using a pair of parallettes, mainly for planche.

In dragon grip, you perform a skill by balancing on only one side of the parallette, usually the front side.

## Technique

The usual technique for this variation is placing the parallettes as if they were flat on the ground, they would form a 90° angle.

When balancing on the bars, they naturally fall forward. To counteract this motion, you need to create a radial deviation movement (marginal movement towards your thumb). Be careful as it is not a usual motion of your body and injuries can come quickly. Practice the movement with dragon planche leans first.

## History

In August 2018, Bulgarian athlete Yordan Stanchev performed the first dragon maltese.

Dailong posted several dragon Van Gelders on his profile.

On October 26th, 2020, Eryc Ortiz posted a video where he lowered his hand position while performing a dragon planche. Eryc was the main athlete to develop many dragon planche variations.

Gie cross

## Description

The Gie cross is a theoretical gymnastics rings strength element.

The position looks similar to an inverted cross: arms spread out and body vertical, feet towards the ceiling. The main difference is the shoulder position. In an inverted cross, they are externally rotated, while in the Gie cross, they're internally rotated. This completely changes the mechanics of the movement because pr

It is the hardest posterior hold element possible, due to the extraordinary mobility, strength and balance the skill requires.

## History

There are no known recorded attempts of the Gie cross.

In March 2019, Lithuanian athlete Giedrius Madruskas held a Gie cross for the first time, naming the element after his nickname "Gie".

French athlete Rayan Astegiano is said to train for the skill.

## Prerequisites

The amount of mobility and strength needed to hold a Gie cross seems unbelievable. Even holding the movement on the floor has never been done. However, several people managed to perform a handstand in this dislocated position. Being able to perform such a handstand is an obvious prerequisite for the Gie cross.

In terms of strength, having a strong victorian cross will greatly help you for the needed rear delt activation.

## Carry-over

The Gie cross is an ultimate feat of posterior strength. Being able to do it, you should have an easy time with any posterior movement. If you then want to break even more the limits of human possibilities, feel free to perform transitions leading to the Gie cross.

## Difficulty

The Gie cross is a purely theoretical move and has never been recorded. Its difficulty level is "beyond human comprehension".
Azarian

## Description

The Azarian is an advanced dynamic gymnastics strength movement.

it is described as so in the FIG code of points: "Slow roll backwards with straight body to cross or L-cross (2s.)".

### Decomposition of the movement

You start in support hang position. Then you perform a full range of motion frontlever raise. The key here is not to pike the body (it is considered an error).

Then, from inverted hang, you lower your body while pushing it up with your hands. It is important here not to have too much of an angle between your arms and your body, as it is the second most common form mistake (backlever tech).

You finish the movement by landing in a cross position held for 2 seconds. Here, common mistakes are landing in a too low or high cross, and kipping the movement.

## History

The Azarian was first performed by Armenian gymnast Albert Azaryan in 1954. Rated an E skill in the code of points at the time, it was considered a revolutionary skill: it is indeed the first straight arm skill bringing the shoulder line from below the rings to leveled with the rings. This skill gained a lot of popularity among gymnasts: it was for example performed by Franco Menichelli in the 1960 Olympic Games.

In a sense, it is the precursor of every rings backwards roll movement, known as the Azarian family: Yan Mingyong, Tay, Ait Said, Simonov, Tulloch and the unnamed "Azarian maltese". It also inspired Akinori Nakayama to create his own movement: the two are indeed very similar.

## Prerequisites

The Azarian is a very dangerous move for the shoulders, that's why well conditioned shoulders are a must have for the movement. A bare minimum of 8 seconds in iron cross is preferrable; some experience in the Nakayama will also be appreciated.

Being able to do a full range of motion frontlever raise is an obvious prerequisite of the movement.

To understand the movement mechanics and when to push, being able to do a hefesto but starting in an inverted hang will also be appreciated.

## Carry-over

The Azarian has some carry-over in lots of different strength fields. The rolling motion will activate muscles as in a maltese pattern. It can also be considered a prerequisite to learn any movement of the Azarian family.

Although being a straight arm movement, it has some carry-over to hefesto.

## Difficulty

The difficulty of the Azarian is D in the FIG code of points (previously E). The skill is not present in the Burningate code of points, but you can find the movement "back lever to cross" (Nakayama) worth 4,4 points. Being considered slightly harder than Nakayama, it is probable that doing it in a Burningate competition would occur a +10% bonus on the difficulty and therefore make the movement worth 4,8. It is therefore considered an elite movement.
Prayer Planche

## Description

The prayer planche is an isometric strength element. In the prayer planche, shoulders are internally rotated, the back of the hands are touching, hands are pointed backwards, and forearms rest on the ground, while the rest of the body is held horizontal to the ground.

## History

In 2013, Nikita Anisimov (N1K) uploaded a straddle prayer planche to his YouTube channel in the video “N1K” (August 13, 2013)In 2014, Eryc Ortiz posts a full prayer planche on his YouTube.On September 1, 2015, Patryk Ziolkowski (Ziolus) uploads a video containing a full prayer planche on his YouTube channel. He creates lots of prayer planche dynamic movements and variations.

## Prerequisites

A good internal rotation mobility is required for this move. The skill can be quite painful during the learning phase, and the excessive internal rotation may cause shoulder impigements.

It's better to have some experience with planches to acquire the necessary deltoid strength to be able to hold the movement.

## Carry-over

Despite being an anterior chain movement, the prayer planche is a very specific move. Not being a straight arm hold, it has little to no specific carry-over to planche and other anterior chain skills. However it can build tremendous strength in the anterior and lateral deltoids.

## Difficulty

The prayer planche is rated 2,3 in the Burningate code of points and is therefore an intermediated movement.

## Notable Athletes

Patryk Ziolkowski

Chen Yongtong

Alex Berinskiy
Cingolani

The Cingolani is a gymnastics rings strength element.

It is described as so in the gymnastics code of points: *"From hang vertical pull up support and press to handstand with straight body and straight arms."* Note that a stop in support can be done, although it is not drawn as so.

The most common mistake on this skill is to bend the arms in the initial pull.

## History

The skill was first performed by Italian gymnast Andrea Cingolani in the 2021 Koper World Cup.

A variation of this skill was performed in training by American gymnast Josiah Eng. He posted it on September 1st, 2016. The principal difference resides in the fact that Eng performed a maltese press and then a press to handstand, which raises the difficulty of the movement by a lot.

However, both performances were with bent arms in the butterfly.

Given the low difficulty awarded to the movement, it is unlikely that it will be competed again.

## Prerequisites

This skill is very complex. Having experience in Butterfly, planche press and rings handstand is mandatory for this skill. For the Eng variation, being able to do a maltese press as well as an Inverted cross is mandatory.

## Carry-over

Given the complexity of the skill, being able to achieve it will give you control on your planche press as well as your butterfly.

## Difficulty

The element was attributed a D value. It is quite surprising because adding the difficulty elements we can get:

- butterfly (D) to planche (D) to handstand (C)

- butterfly (D) to support (C) to handstand (C).

The Eng version would be: butterfly (D) to maltese (E) to inverted cross (E) to handstand (D).

This, in the Burningate code of points, accounts for a total of 12,3 points without bonification, and more than 17 for the Eng variation.
Dragon Flag

## Description

The dragon flag, shoulder flag or shoulder lever is an isometric calisthenics posterior chain skill. In the movement, you hold your upper back on or against a surface, and with your arms grabbing a fixed point above or behind you, hold your body horizontally, stomach up.

## History

Dragon flag was named after the famous martial artist Bruce Lee, nicknamed "the dragon". It is said that he invented the move through his training.

The exercise appears in the movie Rocky IV, that popularized even more the movement.

## Prerequisites

Basic strength in the upper body is greatly advised when learning the dragon flag. A minimum of 10 pull ups and 15 dips should be enough to get started.

## Carry-over

The dragon flag is a core and lat based exercise. It has a good carryover to frontlever training and can be considered a prerequisite for it. It also has some prerequisite for dragon press.

## Difficulty

The dragon flag is considered easier than the front lever and is therefore a beginner move.

Deadstop/pause/ground

Deadstop, pause and ground are the names of several dynamic skill variations.

## Deadstop or ground

In a deadstop or ground, you start the positive motion of the rep with your body laying on the floor. The longer you rest on the floor, the harder the skill will be, but it gives some rest time.

Sometimes, the word "deadstop" is used wrongly to described a paused movement.

## Pause

A paused movement is any dynamic movement done after a 2s isometric hold in an appreciable block.

That can be for example a press after 2s of planche hold, a pull up to touch after a frontlever or a cross press after a cross.

## Usage and difficulty

These two variations can be trained to improve control over the concentric repetition.

Depending on the appreciable, a paused rep can bring 25% to 50% bonus points in Burningate. Deadstop skill bring a bonus of 10% to 25%.
Caruso

The Caruso is a rings dynamics strength movement.

It can be described as so: "pull with straight arms and bodythrough momentary frontlever to victorian cross (2s.)".

Most common occurrences of the skill are on rings, and on a straight bar (to SAT), also known as a Baruso.

Most common mistakes on the skill are:

* using too much false grip, or correcting the amount of false grip thoughout the movement.
* Pulling in an angled motion.
* Not starting from a frontlever but a higher position.
* Bending the arms.
* Bending the body.

## History

Manuel Caruso first performed the element with an acceptable form on April 15th, 2020. He used a lot of false grip, and slightly bent his arms, but precised he was going to work on the form.

The first Baruso was performed by Manuel Caruso on June 5th, 2020, followed eright after by Emanuele Majeli on June 9th. It is possible that Majeli performed it before Caruso as his video was edited, while Caruso posted a training clip.

On February 27th, 2021, Benjamin Serrano posts a clip of him performing a supinated Baruso. He bent his arms and didn't touch the bar for a solid 2 seconds, but used quite a narrow grip and a big range of motion.

On April 4th, 2021, Elias Page posts an acceptable form supinated Caruso.

On Janurary 1st, 2022, Rayan Astegiano posts what is considered the first clean form Caruso: minimal false grip, optimal range of motion and no bend in the arms.

On November 14th, 2022, Onizuka posts a double Caruso on rings. He captions the post "no wrist wraps needed", underlining how little false he uses.

On December 10th, 2022, Mani posts a clip of him performing 10 clean Barusos in a row, a feat of strength done by Onizuka before, but with worse form.

## Prerequisites

Caruso on straight bar is far easier than on rings thanks to the limited range of motion and the easier final position. A Baruso can be considered a prerequisite for the Caruso.

Being very close to the SAT or a SAT are suficient prerequisites for the Baruso.

For the Caruso, a victorian cross is an obvious prerequisite. Experience with the Baruso will be appreciated, as well as other straight arm posterior rings movements like the Pineda. The beginning of the Pineda motion resembles greatly the one of a proper Caruso.

## Carry-over

The Caruso is one of the hardest posterior chain movements ever performed. Being able to do a clean Caruso will greatly help you in a variety of moves, such as the Astegiano or the Gie cross.

## Difficulty

In the Burningate code of points, the Caruso is rated 5 points on straight bar and 7 points on rings. If it were in the FIG code of points, it would probably be rated F.

It is easily an elite move in whichever variation it is performed.
Carmona

The Carmona is an advanced dynamic gymnastics strength movement.

## Description

It is described as so in the FIG code of points: *"Through hang rearways press and straight body to inverted cross (2 s.)."*

The movement is meant to be one straight, fluid motion. A common mistake is to press first to maltese or wide planche, and then from maltese pressing to inverted cross.

Other mistakes include arriving in a too high inverted cross, or losing the line on the way up.

## History

The element was first performed by Venezuelian gymnast Regulo Carmona in the 2011 Worlds in Tokyo. It was also competed by Yuri Van Gelder in the 2013 Worlds in Antwerp, although he used more of an Azarian movement. It has never been competed since.

This element is considered the hardest anterior movement pattern done by man and is a long-term goal for many athletes, as being the ultimate feat of strength. It was first attempted in street workout by Russian athlete Sergey Bashmakov in 2016. Italian calisthenics athlete Carlo Figus attempted the Carmona on December 25th, 2020. Elias Page is also a precursor in the skill, attempting it in various grips.

## Prerequisites

A Zanetti or a Van Gelder are obvious prerequisites of the movement, preferrably done with no lat-tri technique: indeed, it will be easier to press without lat friction.

Then, being able to do a maltese to inverted cross on rings is also an obvious prerequisite.

Experience with the inverted butterfly movement might also help you get the movement.

## Carry-over

Carmona being pretty much the ultimate anterior strength movement, getting it will not help you achieve many other skills. However, it may lead you to achieve the inverted butterfly. Working on it will also greatly improve your pressing strength and backlever strength.

## Difficulty

The Carmona is rated F in the FIG code of points and is believed to be the hardest movement pattern performed (in an acceptable form). Not only is it an elite movement; performing it places you among the strongest athletes ever.

The movement is not present in the Burningate code of points. However, adding together the movements "backmever to maltese" (6,7 points), "maltese press" (6,5 points) with a 25% bonus for the combo and "inverted cross" with a 25% bonus for the combo makes a total value of 21,1 points. (The average skill value of the Burningate two-times champion Emanule Majeli is around 4,5 points.)

Omni Grip

## Description

The omni grip (also called fake grip or abused false grip) is a variation of the false grip in which more of the forearm rests on the bar or ring.

## History

On April 27th, 2020, Matteo Spinazzola performs the "omni-king pull" using a new grip, which he calls "omni grip".

## Controversy

Because of the tremendously important lever reduction brought by omni grip, it is not recommended to use it to perform or learn any movements.

Indeed, in omni grip, at least a third of the forearm (so a sixth of the arm) is not included in the lever, and thus, the torque applied is roughly 83% of the total torque which should be applied in a false or regular grip.

Furthermore, on lever based skills, changing the support point that much on the body totally modifies the movement pattern, often to adduct more the arms, which usually makes movements a lot easier.

On a last note, using a support point so close to the elbow brings a strong tendancy to bend the arm, which is of course to avoid in every straight arm skill.
Inverted cross

The inverted cross is a gymnastics rings isometric element.

## Description

It is an inverted handstand position, with the arms stretched straight out from the shoulders perpendicular to the body. Essentially it is an upside-down iron cross. A common mistake in this move is the lack of depth; the hold looks more like a Japanese handstand. Another mistake is too much arching in the back.

## History

The move is considered to have first been performed by Yugoslavian gymnast Leon Å. Tukelj in 1932. However, a bent arm version of the movement was performed in 1913.

The movement was first performed in a competition by Chzechoslovakian gymnast Alois Hudec and TUkelj in the 1936 Berlin Olympics (footage) and was attributed a D value.

The element became very popular among gymnasts, as a fun element with various entries more or less difficulty.

Chris LaMorte is believed to be the first gymnast to get a perfectly leveld inverted cross.

Later on (in the 2000s), the element was devalued as C difficulty, and the category 3 elements to inverted cross were devalued as D difficulty. It became rarer and rarer because swinging into it was not worth it anymore.

In the 2021 code of points, 2 of the 3 category 3 entries were recategorized as E elements. It's still rare to see these movements. The most common entry in high level rings is Balandin 2.

In street workout, no athlete managed to hold a 2 seconds inverted cross (without deductions). The best attempt was from Viktor Kamenov (after a maltese press).

The inverted cross is sometimes mentioned as the "St. Peter's cross", as Saint Peter felt unworthy of being crucified like the Christ and asked to be crucified upside-down.

## Prerequisites

The inverted cross is both a feat of strength and balance. The skill is therefore highly technical and requires very specific strength. Being comfortable in a rings handstand and a Japanese handstand is an must-have. Experience with maltese press will also be helpful for the strength component.

## Carry-over

The inverted cross is quite a specific movement; however it has anterior strength carry-over, like maltese or planche. It is also an obvious prerequisite to any move where the end position is inverted cross eg. Balandin 2 or Carmona. It's also a prerequisite to the inverted cross to handstand.

Working on a leveled inverted cross, or a low one, might have some carry-over to the inverted butterfly.

## Difficulty

As previously mentioned, the inverted cross has a C difficulty in the current code of points. Its value in the Burningate code of points is 5 points. A leveled inverted cross is arguably an elite element.
Burningate code of points

The Burningate code of points is the code of points used in the competitions hosted by Burningate.

It is, to this day, one of the most complete and balanced code of points in calisthenics. Still, it has some issues and errors.

It is frequently updated, and athletes can register new skill, with a score they seem legitimate (which will be evaluated by the Burningate judging team prior to competitions).

There is a male and a female code of points.

## Rules

The score table can be found in the following link.

The general regulations can be found in the following link.

The technical regulations can be found in the following link.

## Advantages and drawbacks

### Advantages

In this code of points, most skills are ranked in a balanced manner. For example, doing an extremely hard skill but everything with poor form after demonstrates an inability to maintain strength and control for the full duration of the set. Someone who does easier but cleaner and more frequent skill would win in a battle.

The new code of points (starting in the International Burningate Cup 2022) places combinations very high. Indeed, in previous regulations, the combinations would only reward a small bonus. Now, after 3 combination breaks, the value of every skill is reduced by 50%. The ability to perform sets and combinations therefore becomes very important not to undergo this massive malus.

### Drawbacks

The code is incomplete. For example, every variation of floor victorian, and skills linked to it (Laget for example) lack in the COP.

Due to a lack of rings specialists in calisthenics, the rings section of the code seems very underbalanced in almost every skill. Butterfly is harder than Pineda, which itself is harder than Nakayama. No one in street workout did a clean Inverted cross yet. Among other misconceptions. To encourage people to get on the rings, maybe these elements could be ranked higher.

The whole hefesto section seems underrated like the rings, while frontlever dynamics seem overrated. (Baruso at least)

The "appreciation rule" block is hard to apply in competitions. It states that to complete a dynamic movement, you must do a pause of one second in the departure and end positions. One second is already half of a hold (which would be granted +25% thanks to doing a dynamic skill before, or giving a bonus to the dynamic skill). Although it is important to show control at the end of the movement, a one second hold is too long. Arriving in the position and getting down should be perfectly fine.

The fact that two repetitions of an easier movement can be worth far more than a way harder movement (for example planche push ups versus rings maltese press) sounds very out of hand too. There are other ways to exploit the code of points, for example spamming the same movements on different surfaces with different grips.
Villains

**Villains** or **Antagonists** are individuals who possesses extraordinary talents, supernatural phenomena, or superhuman powers and uses them in pursuit of a personal or professional objective that is usually at the detriment of the public, the greater good, and/or any other moral standard. As their actions usually cause community disturbance, Villains are actively opposed by Heroes who seek to curb the destruction the actions of villains' cause.

A villain's motivation to break moral law varies; some break it as part of a personal pursuit of obtaining a goal (whether it be the ambition for power or the pursuit of revenge), others break it as a consequence of a professional occupation or task, others still will break it simply for kicks and for the thrill of "crossing the line" (due to a lack of empathy for anything beyond themselves) and there are others who are diagnosed as "Criminally Insane"; to whom laws like morality do not register due to mental instabilities.

## Groups

Whether they operate independently or in a partnership, villains will sometimes need to team together with other villains to combat threats or problems that they would be unable to deal with solo.

Iguana (longitudinal, witch) grip

## Description

The Iguana grip consists in placing both hands one behind the other on a bar (the dominant hand should be at the back). It uses a neutral forearm position. This grip is mostly used as a planche variation.

## Dificulty

This is undoubtedly a very difficult variation of planche, for which you need to prepare. It requires a lot of body awareness and coordination. It also requires a lot of balance not only with the hands, but also with the body. It's very easy to fall sideways doing this variation, due to the reduced apparent balance surface. An iguana full planche is rated 3,4 in the Burningate code of points and is considered an advanced movement.

## Tips

Chalk is essential for the efficient and effective execution of this variation. You can use a little more than usual. It helps keep your hands in the correct position and will make this variation a little more comfortable.
Daï-Long Huynh

Daï-Long Huynh is a French calisthenics athlete with Chinese and Vietnamese origins and is a founding member of team NeoStrength.

## Daï-Long Huynh

### Affiliation

Outsiderz (formerly)NeoStrength (currently)

## Physical description

### Weight

Varies, currently around 75kg

He specializes in maltese and maltese press, but is also very strong in hefesto and planche.

## Feats of strength and competitions

Daï-long rarely competes and prefers to train for the sake of elements. He placed fourth with his teammate Nathan at the King of Pull and Push in February 2020.

He is known for his very clean and controlled style. Some people consider him the strongest athlete in maltese or maltese press in the world.

He is able to perform many variations of maltese, particularly the Katana version, which only a few people have ever attained.

He often prefers performing one movers and focuses on the aesthetics of skills. The limits of his strength have hence not been ascertained.

He's a calisthenics coach, as well as a university student.

## Trivia

His favorite meals are noodles and French tacos. He also loves Nutella.

Maltese was the first skill he ever attempted. Once he had 5 seconds of straddle planche, he grinded the maltese hard, but had to work a lot to get a clean planche afterwards.

He has a photograph account on Instagram.
