Adult trying to learn some gymnastics here. I've noticed that there are two possible way to approach the gymnastics entry to a handstand: in one the shoulders are not completely open when the hand contact the ground but reach the fully open position while reaching the hs; in the other the shoulders are fully open at all times.
Which one is better to learn for tumbling, e.g. for a front handsprings? My impression is that the fully open shoulders one has a better transfer and power generation, but makes it a bit harder to find balance (although that might be because I just switched to it). It also seems to me that it requires to start in a longer lunge (that is the two feet have to be more distant), which again I think is good for tumbling, is that right?
Thanks!
