The starting position is front support, overgrip. Element is initiated by the powerful cast to get the hips as high as possible above the bar, the shoulders move forward. It is important to push off the bar with stretched arms. After reaching the highest point of the cast, the gymnast bends legs and tucks them underneath and lands on the bar on the forefoot to the squat support position.

During the element it is necessary to increase the potential energy of the body, because the centre of gravity is higher in the final phase of the element than in the initial phase. The necessary mechanical work is done by the muscle forces during the cast, when we get the necessary height of the hips. This is determined by the strong support of the arms pushing against the bar. During the squat on the body's centre of gravity must shift not only upwards but also forwards to the final position above the bar.

• Insufficient hip elevation in the cast.
• Bent elbows.
• Insufficient forward shift of the shoulders.
• Insuficient flexibility in hips and knee.

• Physical preparation 1

  Stretch the calf muscles.

• Physical preparation 2

  It is important to strengthen the deltoid muscles.

• Drill 1

  Practice the movement from the squat support position to the front support position and back, first on a flat surface.

• Drill 2

  Then practice the movement from the squat support position to the front support position and back, using an elevated surface.

The supporter stands in front of the bar, one hand holding the gymnast above the elbow to correct or stop the forward movement of the shoulders. The other hand helps the gymnast to lift his hips.
