Hi. I'm a level 5 gymnast and new here to CB. I'm posting this because I'm having trouble twisting. I twist to my left even though I am a righty because left twisting just feels better for me. I do it into the pit (sometimes off the tumble trak, sometimes off the side). I have my full (sometimes) using drop-arm twisting, but normal twisting is where I have trouble.
I throw my arms over my shoulder and I AM twisting, but it's kind of weird. Many coaches say to twist from the upper body. Thing is, my upper body is twisting, but my legs don't. This twists my back and it often cracks uncomfortably. What am I doing wrong? How can I help fix it? Are there any drills I can do? Thanks for any help, I don't know anyone else who has this problem.
By the way, any flyaway tips would be helpful too, I'm pretty sure I have it but I'm just too scared to go for it.
Thanks!!
