  • The back handspring is a skill that many athletes struggle with. It is the key that unlocks harder and more visually appealing skills!
    Though it can be very difficult to master, there are things you can implement immediately to see improvement in your back handspring.
    Some of these may be drills you've seen before, and some may be completely new...

    Thank you so much! I was a gymnast and bhs has always been my strong point, but I’ve been recovering from a major back surgery and my body completely forgot how to engage my shoulders and my upper back. I’ve had people tell me to do push-ups but it made my bhs worse and now I understand why, and I know how to fix it!

    I am also trying to fix this problem. In addition to the points you mentioned, I think the main issue is a tendency to antipate the rotation of the legs (reasons: fear and/or lack of back flexibility), so that they pass too quickly through the handstand position, and there is really no chance to coordinate the courbette. I am thinking of working on: 1) trying to push back more when jumping, 2) posticipate a bit the recall of the legs and have more time to coordinate a powerful snap down. Also this problem seems more common in people who lack back flexibility, because in order to compensate for that they tend to invert more quickly. So it is important I think to make sure to be able to do a decent bridge.

    I think one more thing that is important is the jump. A jump on a backhandspring is rather backwards than going upwards.

    In the example of the back handspring that was not good, the problem was from the beginning. You talked in your video about the block in the after the jump, however, the jump and the body position and angle are essential in the preflight. That's even more important in my opinion because if you do that wrong, then the rest of the back handspring is going to be wrong. Pushing back, having the right angle, extending and having the right body position and snap in that first flight is essential because it allows you to set yourself up to block and snap to the hollow position in the second part of the back handspring.

    • @DrTravisOwens

      Practice snap downs but really focus on keeping your feet together the whole time.
      Kick up into a handstand and have someone put a piece of paper between your feet and try to hold your hand stand without dropping the paper
      do V ups holding a towel between your feet

    I can backhandspring, but I just really can’t hold myself. For example, I land on my head even when I use all my power and strength. So now I’m scared to backhandspring because I think I’m going to land on my head and injure myself. Any tips?

    Every human is stronger in their pecs, it’s not something that developed per say. It’s just an anatomical fact. Same happens with people training shoulders. Our bodies are designed for the pecs to want to take over and help . Anyway, that doesn’t change your good recommendation of handstand training. It’s another reason we arch from weakness just like when athletes do over head presses. Arching changes the angle and allows is to include the pecs some.

      @@flamingpro5515 When you are working on handstands, snapdowns, blocking drills, etc. it is imperative that you get your legs together and straight. If someone has bent or "lazy" legs during their tumbling, it's likely that they are also bent when working on the drills or exercises. If you focus on straight legs during drills, it will translate into straight legs during the handspring.
