Flairs

Hi coach ,

I m new to this forum.

Ihave learnt many new things from this forum and nw I need some help for flairs on pommel.

I m doing flairs from past one year.

when i do flairs my legs r not as high as like in flairs of others gymnast. (like Alexei nemov, Jorden jotchev)

Its even below the pommel.

its not as good as i want .

Any suggetions............ :?: :?:

A common misconception with flairs is that their elevation is dependent upon the height of the legs when in reality the height of a flair is much more dependent upon the height of the hips. Hence, to increase the height of your flairs it is most productive to concentrate on pressing the hips forward and upward rather than trying to "kick" higher and higher.

Thnx coach....

Actully my hips are high in flairs but legs are not .....Its like a swiss press position.

Its depends on stretching too or just i have to press my hips forword? :?: :?:

The goal to shoot for is to elevate the hips to shoulder height during the flairs. The height of the legs will then occur automatically.
