Beginners should mostly train Bridge with feet elevated. This puts more load on the shoulders and upper back, less on the lower back.

Brink has served as the Interim Head Coach for the Huskers since mid-October. Brink has led the Husker women to a strong start to the 2019 season. …
Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos said Brink’s leadership of the program the past few months was evidence she is the right choice for Husker gymnastics.
“We are proud to announce that Heather Brink will become the permanent head coach of our women’s gymnastics program,” Moos said. “Heather was asked to step in to the interim coach role shortly before the start of the season, and our team did not miss a beat. I have been impressed with her leadership, organization and vision for the future of Nebraska gymnastics, and she has great respect from our student-athletes. It is exciting to have a Lincoln native, Nebraska graduate and former Husker national champion guiding our program.”
