planned changes to H Bar code

Ángel Barajas – 6.9 H Bar 

OLD 2024 Code, of course. 

Next Code is counts only 8 skills. 

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. Angel is one of the most exciting up and coming talents in the world.

Ángel Barajas was the silver medalist in Paris. He was awarded a University scholarship.

He recently had an operation on his ankle.

Layout Jaegers

A fantastic skill.

Easier from el-grip than undergrip as you can partly “inlocate” the shoulders before release.

Olympic H Bar Final was …

More falls and errors than I expected.

Angel is the youngest competitor in the Men’s competition.

LOVE IT – Adjustable Trapeze Bar

  • attach to any bar or set of rings using the adjustable straps
  • obstacle courses, ninja runs, and strength training stations
  • suede-lined pads that help protect your bar
  • adjust length with steel carabiner between the layers of webbing

My most important use of this product would be for Flyaway.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

That Flyaway drill would come after Swinging Rings.

Personally I like to have beginners do hundreds of Flyaways without spot before moving to the competition Bar. Doing progressions without spot builds confidence.

Finally moving to the Bar, I still wouldn’t spot.

Somewhere in there I’d spend one day doing it on P Bars with both boys and girls.

Doing an actual Flyaway on an actual Bar I’d delay as long as possible.

IF your gymnast hits feet on the Bar, there could be a setback. Don’t let it happen.

Heath Thorpe – H Bar training

Quast + 1/1 twist

Quast is a surprisingly difficult skill on H Bar.

To add another twist is cray cray. 😀
