Women Bars, Bars, Bars....

[Gymbugbeetle]

I need some tips for bars. For my Level 5 i need my two feet on/squat on and tap-around/baby giant.
With my two feet on, i cast out too much and get my knee's up to my chest but cant get my feet on.
My tap-around i can get good tap swings and then go to tap around, but I can't get myself over, i can get my thighs to hit the bar but can't get over.

I might be able to get some video's but, I have been in the gym for the last two weeks (due to doing my lateral ligament and having exams) and not going wed/thurs as i have camp. I may get a video next thursday.

If anyone has any tips they would be much help!

With your squat on lean try looking over the bar. At our gym we also do it with strait legs I find this easier. Not shore about your tap swings! Hope it helps

Practice your squat on on the balance beam... You can cast and work on it... it has helped quite a few girls in our gym.

On beam? That's interesting. Same as on bars?

Yes it helps you use the side of the beam as the bar!

I make some of my girls do squat ons on pommels. They don't have to get it quite at high but still get the "bar" feeling a little bit. Pommels are also great for the level 3 leg shoot and especially the leg cut.

That is the first time i've heard of doing it on the beam. I'll give it a go tomorrow.
Thanks everyone. I'll giveverything a try at gymnastics
