    How do you come down from a cast handstand without peeling off? (for giants)

    I have recently just gotten my cast handstand but every time i come down from it, I'm all archy and I usually peel off into the pit. Are there any tips or drills or advice for coming down in the correct position?

    Bars - Blind Change/Turns/Front Giants

    My DD competed last season as a 11 yr old Level 8, her bar routine had the basic 2 backward giants into dismount which seemed very strong. During the off season we were expecting to see a progression into maybe a blind change into front giant, or maybe a 1/2 pirouette on HB, etc. However, she...

    Men P-bar giant swing

    When training a giant on p-bars, what are the important points to emphasize? Am I correct in assuming the tap is essentially the same as the tap for a high bar giant (ie hollow, arch, hollow)? Right now I have several of my boys training the flyaway in between the bars; what should I emphasize...

    Flyaway from Giants

    Ack... I've recently gotten my giants on the real bar with out a spot, so my coach told me to try a layout flyaway. At first it was just fine, then when I had another coach spot me on my flyaway, I let go too late and my shins smacked the bar. It felt just fine to me, so I'm confused, and...

    Giants (again)

    My dd is having issues getting her giants to go over. She casts super high, but then gets about halfway through the tap (to where she's seeing her toes) and then can't get the feet over. Does that make sense? She's been told it is her tap. On strap bar (I know, totally different) they are great...

    Long Hang Pullover or 3/4 Giant??

    Is there any difference at all between a long hang pullover vs. 3/4 Giant? I sometimes hear the L5 are working on LHP.....they tend to show a bit of a slowdown between the pullover and undershoot whereas the L6-7 do it very fast and with a lot of strength.... It there a technical difference...

    Coaches Giant progressions

    What are the progressions you use in teaching giants? I mean from the very beginning of shape change (on and off the bar) onwards. I am thinking mainly for girls as the technique seems to be different to boys because they don't have to worry about the low bar - correct me if i'm wrong. Any...

    Giant, baby giant, undershoot (from L6 boys routine)

    One of my L6 boys just learned his giants, which he can do for bonus in his routine. However, we're running into issues in plugging them in. When he plugs the giants into his routine (two giants followed by a baby giant and an undershoot), what ends up happenning is that after the two giants...
