Rick McCharles presented an overview of his approach coaching horizontal bar.
He feels many MAG athletes underachieve on this apparatus.
A big theme of his session was safety. Using a variety of equipment. Spotting as little as possible by using progressions instead.
Rick very much uses “loops” (horizontal bar safety straps) to speed learning, improve technique and greatly improve safety.
