Yurchenko Blocking drill

Throwback circa 2012! Here’s a #allthemats yurchenko blocking drill!

Idea is to clearly work the jump to a nice tight extended shape to the hands. Should see an equal stretch throughout the body. No extra hinging in the back!!!! Neutral head position between the shoulders. This angle would be too low to look at the hands for contact in my opinion. That would result in a head out position.

And of course… #allthemats

Hope this can help you and your gymnasts create their Best Darn Gymnastics!
