Learning a giant on parallel bars

Recorded during a Future Star camp this video shows an amazing progression to teach gymnasts the correct body shapes and proper positions associated with the giant. Regardless if they are going to complete the giant anytime soon these drills will help them understand many fundamental body and hand positions in relation to swings and body locations. Enjoy!!
Thank you Karl Jaanimagi for allowing this to be recorded and shared.

The great thing about learning these skills at a young age is taking advantage of the lower body-mass to strength ratio. I was in high school gymnastics at 17 yrs. old, 6 ft. tall, and 170 lbs, so learning even the simple skills was difficult because of my lack of strength to control that mass. It would also hurt more if I missed and crashed - which induced a high fear factor. Learning the skills early like these kids is such an advantage because they only have to make minor adjustments and perfect their technique while their body grows. Learning to do these things when you are already full size is darn near impossible.

My sentiments exactly. I am just getting back into the gym at 34, quit gymnastics when i was 13. I don't see myself ever getting a pbar giant. Just way too sketchy. See also: any high bar release skill

Way too young to learn giants there are a hundred tricks they should learn first.

thanks for your opinion. this was a future stars training and although most wont do them right away it is beneficial to form muscle memory and be able to hold and shape the bodies when they are smaller unless you are the hulk!

You are doing the right thing. Exposing these kids at a young age so that they can learn the skill easier when they are ready for it. @@sabolsciencerocks
