    WAG Over-rotating in front tuck

    So I’ve had my front tuck on tramp for many months at this point, but a couple of weeks ago over rotation became a serious problem. I nearly got injured, but even though I didn’t it set a bit of a mental block, which is disappointing on such a simple skill. I really don’t know how to over rotate...

    WAG front tuck, round off backhand spring, and long hang pullover drills

    I’m very close to to my front tuck and I’m landing them in a squat inconsistently onto a mat ground level in the pit, but what are some good drills I can set up, preferably on rod or normal floor, I don’t like doing it on tramp because I over rotate and so I don’t punch as hard and then when I...

    WAG Twisting in Normal Front Tuck

    I am learning a front tuck right now, and there was a station that was just a front tuck from an elevated trampoline onto a mat. Every time I did it, I was dropping my left shoulder and sort of twisting/falling to the side. How can I fix that?

    WAG Front tuck

    So I'm really good on floor, especially with back tumbling and dance elements. However, my biggest weakness on that event is the dreaded front tumbling. No, seriously, it took me 4 months and five private lessons just to get a solid front handspring. Anyways, I've been working on front tucks...

    WAG Front tuck: bend at waist?

    When doing a front tuck flip, am I supposed to think about bending at the waist forward, to get into that tucked position (so my hands can closely grasp the legs)? Is there an ab crunch situp motion? I have one gymnast teacher telling me there is, other one saying I should not actively think...

    WAG Front Tuck Flip, how to envision hips and glutes

    I am working on the front tuck flip at gymnastics training center. How should I envision what I do with my glutes during the flip? Should I "think about lifting my glutes over my head" or lifting it over the shoulder? How do you train your students?

    WAG Similarities between Front Dive Roll and Front Flip Tuck, how is it a progression?

    They always say a Front Dive Roll is a Progression into a Front Flip Tuck. I don't get it. What are the similarities? What parts are alike? I can do a Front Dive Roll, but not a Front Tuck flip yet.

    WAG Proper Mat to learn front tuck flip?

    I have been learning and conditioning for the front flip tuck. To test in real environment, what is a good type of mat to learn? Is it a cheese wedge mat? My gymnast coach wants me to learn on 1) regular panel mat, but I was hearing 2) a incline cheese wedge would be better to alleviate the...

    WAG Tips for a front tuck dismount?

    Does anyone have any tips for a front tuck dismount on beam? I'll go for it but I can never land all the way on my feet, at best it's a low squat.

    Front tuck help

    I need tips on how to fix a bad habit I have on my front tucks. I don’t set up at all in them and just kind of dive into them. I’ve done a few good ones every now and then but I keep on going back into that bad habit. So if anybody has any tips to help me they would be much appreciated!
