Always the best sport for overall physical development. And, as the first image shows, you don't have to be in a gym to get some training in!  A talented 8yo:  ...and this one is 9yo - doing iron cross!   And, finally, an important message from the gym:  

A great sport for those wanting to look great and to do things that many find hard or impossible to do. It takes determination and commitment. And can be rough on the hands, which is why we use these for high-bar...  ...and slightly different ones for the rings. For parallel bars we employ wristbands but your hands just have to take their chance, along with a little honey and chalk. OK. Admire the dedication to training, and the skills being developed. And check out how it affects that all-important body image. For many of the images which follow, we are pleased to acknowledge a men's artistic training camp at Salerno, Italy, which has recently taken place.A few others are mixed in at random. Saluti Salerno!
