I'm not sure if I should be worried about this or if she should or could be doing some extra conditioning to try and help with the issue? And her coaches haven't mentioned anything to me. I think she's been told before to try not to push her arms past straight/lock her elbows. For her, locking goes way past 180 degrees.
The reason I bring it up now is because I was at the gym for a little 1/2 hour lesson she was having to get her BHS/ROBHS back (since she's having a mental block/fear issue) and saw her actually hyper extend her elbow doing her BHS on the mats and it looked bad from the viewing area. I never watch so maybe it happens all the time and I'm not there.
She's been in rec for several years, but just moved over to JO level 3 this past summer, first meet this weekend! (she's 10)
I was trying to find a photo to see it, but I'm not sure if you can. Maybe I should just chill out and not worry... but if there are conditioning things to help it, I guess she should try that.
