Women Shifting wrists in free hips?

[cucciologymnast]

Hello, I am struggling so much with my free hips. I get around, but my wrists get caught under the bar because I can’t figure out how to shift. I think that I dont do it enough or maybe at the wrong time. I cant get the hang of it and was wondering if anyone had any tips?

What does your coach say? Timing is a very exact thing.

She tells me to be more aggressive and like a kip or back hip circle to shift them quickly but how?!

Just like in a kip or back hip cirlce. Try to really focus on your shift in those skills and replicate that feeling to your clear hip

Oh my gosh I have been having the same problem!! Except I have been struggling with this skill for like three years now
One thing my coach and I tried the other day was doing sole circles (that’s what we call them at our gym, I think other people called them different things though. When you jump your feet on like you’re gonna jump to the high bar but instead go backwards around the bar?) and my coach spotted me and it was really great for working out when to shift my wrists!
Hope this helps good luck
