Back uprise

Basic skill

• A strong upper arm support and swing should be developed.
• The shoulders should be behind the elbows and the arms should be in an obtuse angle. Gymnasts (especially younger gymnasts) tend to put their shoulders close to their hands.
• The push should be initiated late in the swing, and when it does occur it is an aggressive rapid push.
