So I've been struggling with standing back handsprings and step-outs for a while and it's just frustrating my coaches and myself. It's definitely not a strength issue (I'm one of the strongest girls on our team which is xcel platinum) So in my back handsprings my arms ALWAYS bend. They bend so much that I usually end up hitting my head. And because they bend so much, standing back handsprings are basically impossible. If I don't step-out I'll just fall onto my head. It's like my arms just buckle. Bent arms also equal zero block. It's really annoying. I do them up onto an 8incher to make sure I'm jumping through my legs, I lock my arms before I go, but I end up on my head every time.
Standing skills have never been a strong suit (I'm not the best at jumping) but I'm determined to get this! I really want to start them on beam!
Thank you so much x
