iron crosses
Arms outstretched horizontally
Iron crosses are a calisthenic exercise performed on gymnastic rings, where the body hangs suspended with arms extended straight out to the sides, forming a cross shape.
The move requires exceptional shoulder and chest strength: He's been training for months but still can't hold an iron cross.
The name comes from the shape the body makes, resembling the German military decoration.
