Press to Handstand deduction question....

[gym_fun]

My daughter is doing a press to handstand on the beam... her arms are slightly bent. Is this a deduction? Her coach doesnt seem to concerned about it, but it seems that it would be a deduction. Any information would be helpful.

*** not sure if this matters but she is starting the press sitting straddle on the beam.

Got my answer yesterday at our gym!

Just wondering what the answer was?

The answer I received was up to 3 tenths... which is a lot for a skill that is not necessary for the routine in my opinion.

ooo, yeah, that does seem steep!

Yep, 1 to 3 tenths depending on the amount of arm bend.
