Back Tuck

Backward Roll

From a standing position, keep your arms up and sit back into a squat and roll onto your back
As soon as your butt and back touches the ground, bend your arms and reach behind your ears
Your hands should catch ground as you continue to roll back on your shoulders, protecting and taking any pressure off your neck and head
To complete the roll, allow the momentum to bring your legs and hips over your head
Only when the hips roll past vertical over your body do you press with your arms to finish the rotation to land on your feet again

In this progression Carl breaks down the kip (or tap swing) on the bar as a lead in to other skills. It's important to focus on maintaining tension throughout the entire body and bow by switching between a globally flexed (hollow body) or globally extended (superman) position without breaking or bending locally to lose power or cause any stress.
