What reading level is Dicks Art of Gymnastics Containing Practical And Progressive Exercises Applica book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Raise the legs Fig. 44.
58 THE HORIZONTAL BAH.
/ 1. Rise above the bar as in twelfth exercise (Fig. 12). Grasp the bar firmly, the fingers and thumbs together. Fig. 45.
2. Move the legs backwards and for- wards a few times, leaning the body for- ward a little with the same motion of the' legs, fling the body upward and backwards at arms' length off the bar (Fig. 46-a) without losing the momentum of the swing; in descending slightly bend the body backward, when the body is under ^ the bar, throw... the legs suddenly for- ward and the head back (this move- ment will give an upward impetus) ; while going up draw the body a little closer by bending the arms (this shortens the "ffisfeaag_ from the bar and greatly assists the momentum already gained), come up over the bar with the arms still bent and chest thrown forward ; at this point the gym- nast will find that the hands are rather too far over the bar, the arms being bent, and the body nearly perpendicular. This is what may be called the "dead point" of the swing, and is a very awkward posture to be in ; but the secret of getting out of it, and regaining the full force of the swing is what is called " the shift, " wljich is, to give the hands a sudden turn, and bring the palms on to the top of the bar, which gives power to straighten the arms again and start for another revolution.
