Time is definitely key here. Always doing splits on a line and getting them to check is your back leg on the line? Is your front knee facing the roof? Is your back knee on the line?
Whatever you call them! I live in Australia and it's getting into summer.(90+ degrees Fahrenheit training in a tin shed) I am in desperate need of a new sports bra to wear to gymnastics training. My issue is I am quite large chested and all the sports bras I have are to low cut leaving me...
I think the 'squat' they are meaning in between flips. In her second flip her hands are coming underneath her feet. Where she need to sit back and lift her hips. I tell my gymnasts to "sit in there chair" before lifting hips and lengthening the flip.
Sounds like you need to practise breaking the skill down as you are not quite ready for the skill together. Focusing on a leading toe rather then knee. Practise having your feet raised in a bridge and kicking over from there.
Is there two types of chalk? One being a more soft, crumbling chalk and one a more firm block. We have had gymnasts complaining that the chalk is 'soft' and it is harder to grip the bar. We buy all the chalk from the same supplier and often will be a hard and soft block in the same bulk purchase.
I have always switched naturally. when doing things like cast clear hip. The thumbs will naturally change from grasping around the bar to on top. But I was always told thumbs on top. And constantly am getting told to put them on top. So have gotten used to doing everything on top besides giants...
