Gold Drill: Candle Stick Pull For Flipping

The candlestick shape is very important for most gymnastics skills both flipping and twisting. Luminita Garcy (USA National Staff) shows a shaping/conditioning drill that helps to increase the strength of the lower core along with helping the gymnast feel the shape needed during the skill. This candle drill can be use as a side station for all events but especially floor and vault to create that scoop into the flip before going into the shape (tuck, pike. layout) of the particular skill.
