Back lever

A value skill

• Start in a picked inverted hang. Extend the hang by moving your toes straight towards the wall. Arms should be kept squeezed against your body throughout.
• Work skin the cat pull out, trying to lead with the heels. This can be done with a spot.
• Work tucked back levers slowly extending the legs. Generally someone will need to watch to ensure that the gymnasts back is kept level with this drill.
• Do lever pulls with a spot. Go from front lever to back lever with a straight body. This helps develop both front levers and back levers.
