Women Can't twist

[ILoveBeamm]

I don't understand front and back twisting at all. I have good front and back layouts, but whenever I try to twist at all back I get super lost in the air (for example I tried doing a half but did a full instead, or tried doing a full but only made a half), and whenever I twist more than a half forward I get lost (trying to do a front full but doing a 3/2 instead.) I think I might just be better at flipping, as I tried double backs before and found them much more straightforward than trying to twist a layout, but I don't want to be limited by not understanding how to twist properly and consistently. Additionally, I have done good back and front fulls before, but it is very rare that I make one and I eventually lose the skills again.

@Geoffrey Taucer are you the one who has shared all your body awareness trampoline progressions?

What am I supposed to look at when I'm twisting, and when am I supposed to pull my arms? I think I just don't understand the mechanics of twisting.

 

[Dahlialover]

If you are accidentally doing a front 3/2, your body knows how to twist, you just lack air awareness. Trampoline drills are the answer. I’ll have to look for some video links when I have the time.

Will try to remember to get back to this later today; if you don't hear from me by tonight, ping me a reminder

In the meantime, here's an earlier post I made about this: Post in thread 'Setting in back full' https://chalkbucket.com/threads/setting-in-back-full.73349/post-651118

But I have some more specific trampoline progressions for training the visual cues. Will get back to this when I have a chance to type with all ten fingers
