Master the Iron Cross, Step by Step
The IRON CROSS MACHINE isn’t just equipment—it’s a complete system.
Every unit comes with a detailed TRAINING BOOK that takes you through step-by-step progressions, from beginner basics to advanced mastery.
You’ll learn how to build strength safely, avoid injury, and steadily move closer to the full Iron Cross. Think of it as having a coach by your side, every session.
3 Training Programs
The included TRAINING BOOK (with 96 pages) features 3 progressive programs, covering all your needs according to your current strength level:
Before attempting any Iron Cross training, your body must be properly prepared.
Over the next few weeks, you will develop stable ring support, improve scapular control, strengthen your shoulders and tendons, and build the foundational pulling and pushing strength required for more advanced movements.
This program is designed to safely condition your body and prepare you for the Intermediate Program.
This is an intermediate step designed to prepare your body for the direct load of the Iron Cross.
The program bridges the gap between general strength and the specific demands of the skill, ensuring you’re ready to begin Advanced Iron Cross training.
This program assumes you are already well beyond the beginner and intermediate stages—you possess the strength, technique, and joint resilience required to train specifically for the Iron Cross.
It is designed to integrate seamlessly with your Iron Cross Machine, making full use of its 15 assistance levels for controlled torque reduction.
Adjustable to your Level
The IRON CROSS MACHINE adapts to you. With its adjustable resistance/support system, you can:
Start with maximum assistance to learn the technique
Reduce support gradually as you build strength
Challenge yourself with near-bodyweight conditions for advanced mastery
This ensures safe, progressive overload without the frustration of stalling or risking injury.
Build Strength, Control, and Stability
The Iron Cross isn’t just about brute power. It demands shoulder integrity, tendon resilience, and total-body coordination. The IRON CROSS TRAINER allows you to train all of these components together:
Shoulder and chest strength for holding position
Core stability to keep your body aligned
Joint and tendon conditioning for long-term performance
