My First Gymnastics Giant- Spin around pull up bar

Before you say blah blah blah, keep in mind i'm not a gymnast, I'm just doing this for fun. These are called giants in gymnastics. I've never attempted this before, til my buddy showed me how. I've wanted this for the longest time, but I just never tried til now finally. I wish I tried earlier! I know soon I'll be getting these without a spot, and outside on the pull up bars!

I made a progression for getting giants. Check out the vid in my profile if you want, the progression can help you get giants fast. Your stuff is good man keep it up.

I thought those were easy to do but if you just did it for the first time then they must be hard.

@MegaExtent

They were easy. I'm guessing if you can handstand on the bar, then it will be easier. cleaning it is a bit tough if anything

Nice one arash! I wish I could do that =( I should try next time i go to the gym =)

@fermerwuvu

Thanks! Make sure you use straps/spotter if possible! Good luck :)

One of the major things I did wrong: Notice when I'm coming around from the handstand, around 0:17, I bend my knee causing me to drop down. Ideally my legs should have been straight.  Some things to keep in mind! :)

@sketchyou I think gymnastics is competetive calisthenics based on chosen events.

[Kratax]

What is the hard part? Getting enough speed? If you are low on speed then what? You just come back down like you went up if you keep your arms and body straight. You can't have too much speed, if you just remember to hold on and not let go flying to the floor. Propably it is tricky to hold tight but not too tight.

Oh man I remember the first time i got a giant i was flipping out. they are hard to learn but once you get them down they arent very hard to keep. great job man.

Interesting Arash.. i always thought that you had a background in gymnastics because some of videos you post are in gymnastics training spaces - which then led to calisthenics and then to performances w the flying tortillas. I guess i'm also mixed up with Calisthenics and Gymnastics. Please do enlighten if you have the time, thanks. @strengthproject
