Marlon Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 -3DHBOw_fc0 I just don't know what to say :shock: I kind of assumed that jumping was a necessity to do a back tuck let alone a layout. Does anyone know how hard doing this actually is? Because I'm certainly not going to try it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 1. That's not a back layout. We could call it a back whip or a an arched back flip that pikes down. 2. That method of not bending the knees but pushing the hips back still loads the Posterior Chain. This is a newer technique frequently used on Balance Beam by girls doing series. Not just optionals but higher level power optionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlon Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Oh, alright then nvm :oops:. What exactly qualifies something as a back layout? I feel like I've seen a lot of gymnasts doing layouts with a very arched body position and still others piking down to make a landing out of what is still considered a layed out skill.

Blairbob Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 A layout can be arched especially when it's used to accelerate the next skill or for a skill like double layout. Piking down would be a deduction and typically means the layout needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
