This stems from what I hope will be a minor bump in the road for DD that is nonetheless causing some frustration and stress. In her gym (and possibly everywhere for all I know), the girls are expected to start their L8 bars routines from the ground, rather than from the springboard. She's having a devil of a time doing a kip cast handstand from the ground and told me that she doesn't think she's strong enough to be able to do it. Now, I know that she will figure it out, but I was wondering whether it's common to have a few issues with this transition and if so, why. Is it that they get more momentum or a better angle jumping from a block or springboard?
