@Kori Chavez Hi! I'm so sorry to get back to you so late! I did not see any notifications, but I admit that my wifi here is not so good and I could have missed it :/ When you are dropping down you are keeping your shoulders quite far back behind the bar. If you can keep your head closer to the bar while keeping your hips back where they are, you will drop with a bit more swing which should help. Additionally, because your legs are high in the front, I would recommend that you bend in your knees to keep your feet and knees beneath the bar. Attempt to drop the legs straight down beneath the bar so your body passes through the stretched position either slightly behind the bar or directly beneath it. As you can see in the screenshots below, your head is quite far back on the drop and your body is straightening on the front side of the bar. These are the things we should try to fix.

Hey Kori, It's just here where you start to push your shoulders away from the bar. If you can bring the bar right past your face, but still keep your bum out behind you that would be great :)

Hi @Kori Chavez ! Sorry for the super late reply! You just need to try to keep your legs straighter and snap them back a little earlier. This will give your upper body more time to transition over the rings, and though you may catch low it will feet better because your body won't have had time to drop before the catch. From there, you'll be able to work on getting a higher catch (if that's what you are aiming for).

Hey @Deirdre DeVito I'm sorry but it should be fixed and ready to go now!

@Michelle M I would say it's mostly because you are bending your knees that this is happening. You are snapping your feet back, but not your legs, and when you bend in the knee there is no direct linkage to your hips so you lose your foot speed and momentum when they bend. Just try to keep your legs straight the entire time and that should help your middle body get higher for the transition and the shoulders higher due to a direct connection between you foot and leg speed and your shoulders.

@Michelle M I'm so sorry you've waited so long to get a response from me! My sincerest appologies! It looks to me that you are lingering in your backswing a bit and that's causing your speed in the forward swing to be a little less than sufficient. It's always good to get a full backswing and I would not change the way you are doing that, but as for moving forward from there try to make sure you feel like you are still connecting with the top of the ring straps so they don't go loose (it looks like they are just a bit). From there, really try to drive your legs forward with more power, and when you snap them back make sure to keep your legs straight. Your power in your forward swing is pretty solid, but add more anyway as it is better to have power in abundance here. When you snap your legs back imagine trying to drive the backs of your KNEES (not feet) backward behind and beneath you. The backs of the knees should bring straight legs beneath you faster and facilitate the transition better. Any time you bend your knees you are stopping your lower leg's speed, thus momentum. Holding a straight leg position through this leg snap should more forcefully pull your shoulders backward (like the legs), which in turn causes stretch in the backs of your scaps and a rebounding effect to pop your shoulders forrward/upward with more thrust. Again, I'm sorry Michelle for not seeing this. Thank you again for reaching out to alert me. And if you have insta and this happens again, please send me a DM if you haven't heard from me in 3 days max!
