I wish I'd seen these years ago, I never got over my fear of giants before I quit gymnastics and I'm sure some of these drills would have helped

[@lyndi2392]

Same, our coach would just force us do new skills without even teaching us the techniques first. And if we were too scared to try she would just srceam and shame us. Many got injured and were forced to quit. I quit because I felt traumatized by the way our coach treated us. I still have nightmares about it till this day.

[@lilysanimals2759]

Why were you scared

[@chrissheldon2078]

@@lyndi2392 that is basically abuse

[@oopsda__192]

When she did it by herself on strap bar, it looked so fun and easy 😂

[@emilysummers4851]

danivutee __ They are really fun and easy if you have good upper body strength

[@AirblastKing]

Kind of is

[@victoriateixeira8422]

It is fun but when you get cut and bruised wrists from the straps then its less fun

[@camrynvaccaro4515]

[@strattongraygymnastics5657]

I am 9 years old in level 6 and I can almost do front giants and I got my fly away by myself yesterday .

[@claireailabouni4299]

I know I’m a little late, but nice job!!

[@catdude5709]

Nice!

[@katyasworld3337]

Nice!

[@chrissheldon2078]

I'm a level 6 and we have straps but we don't have PVC pipes do we use gloves and the straps don't fit me so I feel like I'm going to fly off the bar

[@thepizzaworkoutplan]

this is legit 🔋🔋

[@tropical40degree98]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lovelylexi7592]

Could you be able to help girls with no level

[@AaronAlterman]

Why the bent knee giants? How does that help the progression?

[@logiolson]

Fear

[@skylarmeadows521]

Shouldn't you be able to do it by yourself on pit bar before you go to the real bar

[@cadhlamclaughlin7708]

how old is she cause i learnt how to do them by myself yesterday on starps and nobody was looking so i got permission to beat them up XD

[@LLiv123]

5ere were multiple girls prob 10-13

[@julieloecher9770]

What level does this start at?

[@sterlinggymmeets7496]

You should be starting the first progressions around Level 4. It really depends on the ability of the athlete. If they can't stay tight or do any of the basic shaping, then they aren't ready. I've already started most of these drills with one of my Level 3s just because she's ready. But my 4s aren't, and only 1 of my 5s is!!

[@4iq865]

U should know giants by level 6 and have consistent giants at level 7

[@I_am_a_potato_]

I can like do a giant but I’m really scared of the part where you like drop down

In the background

[@peppapig8801]

I’m in excel and wish so bad I could work these upgrades but excel gold but just be soft...

[@SophieRuiz591]

I'm in excel gold next year] probably platinum but you can compete giants in platinum

[@bellamy222rose]

I'm way to scared to do Giants on strap bar because 1) I'm scared I'll slip out. 2) There's stairs and hard stuff surrounding it. It's just scary. Meet season is 1 month away and a mock meet is in 2 weeks and I'm stressing about my giant. My coach spots me on baby giant miss my hips on high bar. I'm never going to make my giant before meet season :(

[@graces4450]

You can do it! Have you tried to do giants with two people spotting on the regular bar? In my own personal experience that helped me with my timing and overall confidence with the skill. Good luck!

[@bellamy222rose]

+Gymnasticslover437 yes, in the past two coaches spotted me. Now only one coach boosts me up. (Bc I improve more) tomorrow my moms taking me to an open gym that has a foam pit underneath bars. I'd feel more comfortable with that and I'm going to try to do my straight arm giant 😊 thank you!

[@graces4450]

No problem! Good luck in your upcoming meet season :)

[@CalvinKrause]

Can you learn giants without a pit?

[@tatummoku8903]

Yes, in fact you can! I do it all the time. I did it with and without straps.

[@Aspader]

2:09 how?!?!?!

[@CAROL-hr6zf]

I just realized that she doesn’t have grips on!

[@mirarobles7824]

My mom wouldn't let me train with a boy/man and I would train with my private trainer

[@jakobyy]

My coaches refuse to spot us on anything 🙄

[@logiolson]

That’s sooo unsafe

[@PinkPengwin]

How is that girl not wearing grips while doing giants :O

[@harrystylesismysoulmate7549]

Mam ur gonna need some grips

[@nevaeh7111]

She probably already had giants before this video so...

[@chazbotts5627]

Yeah because she can't just get it in a snap

[@clairepruski5466]

They are just showing how to teach it

[@khiuani21]

The progressions are great. But the giants final it's not a good technique.
