Scaling
Coach Focus:
Today’s skill work is meant to remind athletes on the value of positioning when it comes to gymnastics. Coaches should be pushing athletes to focus on form vs. going for broke with bad form. Each set ends with a max duration HS hold. Coaches should use the HS Hold portion to ensure athletes understand the concept of “stacking their joints” to increase their ability to hold a handstand for longer. Scaling options for these athletes can be: Pike Strict HSPU on a box + Hold, a set of 3-5 wall walks + a nose and toes hold, or a set of DB strict presses + DB OH hold (or HS hold if able). Get athletes pressing vertically and then performing a static hold to develop shoulder stamina
