Back uprise to handstand
B value skillFIG Code Group: II FIG Code Box: 22 Drills for Back uprise to handstand.
- Though uncomfortable, working upper arm forward rolls with a straight body will help develop this skill.
- The tendency is to push too early and not allow enough time for the swing to turn over.
- The push should not start until the gymnasts swing is near vertical.
- An aggressive heel tap is necessary to help carry the swing to handstand.
- Working lots of handstand push ups couldn't hurt.
