Technique: Biomechanics Of Bars

Clinician Matthew Lea explains a more scientific approach to swinging bars by looking at the biomechanics of the tap swing and giant movement. Lea is both a gymnastics coach and software developer with an avid interest and understanding of physics. He breaks down movements and shows why, scientifically, certain positions get better results. In the video, he explains using graphics then moves to the bars and demonstrates with gymnasts. Watch more Gold drills and techniques here.
