In this week's Gymnastics Technique Video, Coach Barry Hyder of Capital Gymnastics has elite gymnast Mackenzie Brannan show a simple drill that teaches gymnasts to open their hips in the takeoff for double back saltos, full-ins, and double arabians.
my name alicia, i do gymnastics.i am ten years old.i my wiegh is119.where;;gymnatics center.i love gymnastics.i do it everyday.
Very cool, I'm gonna try that today
I like this drill!
reminds of the seat drop to backhandspring drill on tumbl-trak to pop the hips open. this is something easy i can get the kids who aren't popping their hips open on BHS to understand.
thanks
nice and simple, like back in 80's when I was learning double back
I tried this dill with my girls yesterday and they showed improvements after just a few turns! thanks!!
that looks great i want to do it.
i really like gymnastics i want to go to camp this summer can you sign me up.
cool. i like the simplicity of that drill
agreed e seems quite relaxed and cares aout the kids
Barry looks like a great coach to work with!
If you actively squeeze your bottom, you'll open the hips as well because the gluteus maximus is your primary hip extensor muscle. I like this drill, but the bottom line is that your glute max must be "firing" if you want those hips to maximally open. She has an anteriorly rotated pelvis and needs to use her glute max to not only open her hips, but to also posteriorly (i.e. tuck under) rotate her pelvis to create full extension (i.e. opening) at the hips. More than likely, she has short, "overactive" hip flexors (psoas, in particular) and this is actually not allowing the glute max to fire because of a concept called "reciprocal inhibition" in which a muscle is "turned off" when its antagonist is "firing" (neural stimulation). The glute max and psoas major are antagonists of one another.
Technique Tuesdays. Love it.
good stuff!
