mrpraktic Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 In the (I hope so) near future, I plan to work on developing planche and Iron cross. I found this on http://www.drillsandskills.com/ :Iron Cross: B value skill; FIG Code Group IV; FIG Code Box 12Planche on Floor: B value skill; FIG Code Group I; FIG Code Box 22Is this mean that planche on floor is harder than iron cross? Can you even compare these two elements? Does height and weight of individuals makes one skill harder than other (I heard that crosses are not that much affected by height as levers)?I apologize in advance if you found this question stupid. I do not know much about GST, but I am very curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Slocum Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It means a planche on floor gets you .2 added to your score, and a cross gets you .2 added to your score. Which is 'harder' depends on the individual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 http://figdocs.sportcentric.net/external/serve.php?document=4023 Roger's drillsandskills site is old but a Cross is still a "B" and a straddle planche on rings is a "B" but a legs together planche on floor is a "B" while the straddle planche on floor is an "A". I have seen some taller gymnasts who can do an Iron Cross but not a planche. I have also known a gymnast who told me Maltese was easier for them than planche on rings. Yeah, he commented that though it seemed odd that's how it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaad Mohammad Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Really makes no sense to me that a maltese is easier than a planche! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Li Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 for me a maltese is easier on rings. i cant even hold a full planche...on pbars its fun!Could it be an issue with balance rather than strength for the rings full planche compared to your maltese?
