WAG Closed shoulders

[Gymnast243]

I have closed shoulders on everything. Vault, backhandsprings, casts on bars etc. A coach has tried to help me but nothing works. Any tips or drills?

It might be a flexiblity/extension issue. In that case you should talk to your coach and the next route might be physical therapy.

No that's what they thought at first but my shoulders are very flexible

My daughter uses something called an open shoulder trainer. I bought it at the link below. I recently donated it to her gym since my DD has no need for it anymore, they use it all the time with the kids. http://www.tumbltrak.com/equipment/1:15:104/open-shoulder-trainer-tumbling-gymnastics-bars.html
