I understood him to "mean" that those are progressions. First add salto before and after. Later do 1/1 twist series. Standard progressions in the old Soviet system of the 1980s and 1990s. Hey Troy.

What you're saying is that the key to perfecting the full twist is to do a back tuck before and after it, and then if that doesn't work... Do lots of fulls in a row? Did I miss something, or is that one of the most useless "Gymnastic Minute"s ever? I'm sure that he is a very good coach, but that is like saying you can get better at whatever you are doing wrong by continuing to do it a lot. I think we have too many coaches training kids that way already. No offense to George, but I would like to see what kinds of drills and training he does to get to the point of kids doing nice straight fulls to begin with. So, let me see if I have this…

Elbows bent and tight to the side of the body. Hands just below the chin. Gymnasts from this arm position can raise or lower the arms to slow or increase the speed of salto rotation. As needed.
