training Layout Jaeger in a belt

Personally, I’m not a big fan of using a belt for same Bar releases.

It works — but can make it difficult for some gymnasts to get OUT of the belt.

That said, IF you use a belt, do as few repetitions in it as possible.

Cast Handstand Challenge

I’ve used a system like this many times for Swing Handstand on Parallel Bars.

BUT have never tried it for Cast.

You could try it for both Straight Body and Straddle Up Cast Handstand.

Three Olympics. Three medals on H Bar.

Father / Coach Wolfgang tells that his son was VERY inflexible in the hips when he started. But loved our sport.
