Giant problem

[belen.wilson]

I don't know why but i cant to a giant. I'm not even that scared of doing them its just, every time i get a spot my arms bend and i end up just doing a three quarter giant. I need some help on how to keep my arms straight so that i can go around and make my giant! Please help.

you need to do baby giants.

what ^^ said.

Also, back extension rolls with arms straight help a lot.

Also, controlling your shapes helps even more.

Lots of handstands on a bar to feel comfortable.

Dips and strength in triceps, wrists, abs, back, gluts and shoulders. Really.. dips and handstand push ups, followed by hollow holds and shaping drills.

Progress appropriately. Talk to your coach. Get help as necessary.

Do you have a strap bar? Doing giants in straps really helped me get the feeling of pushing through my shoulders all the way around and figuring out how/when to tap.
