I've got a gymnast who's arms are wide on just about everything. Back extensions, fhs vaults, bwo's, bhs. Any tips or drills that would help me help her fix this issue?
 
Also I tell my gymnasts to squeeze their ears.

That. And I ask them if they still understand what I'm saying, if so they're not squeezing hard enough. ;)
Another drill I like to do in preparation for beam is to get them a foam block to put between their wrists and hold it there for jumps, handstands or just about the entire warm up. (Lots of complaining and very sore muscles guaranted)
 
Just wondering if squeeze your ears is the same kinda thing as squeeze your bum. I hope not.... because they'd be freaks of nature if they could "squeeze" their ears.

Geesch, better hope nobody ends up with brain trauma from all that squeezing.o_O:rolleyes:
