I love that quote.

    Another great video!

    I definitely will be borrowing the term "gymnast joint stacking" you used to reinforce the proper hand position of when descending from the standing OH position. I also see this issue a lot.

    Hi Jordan, just wanted to mention that I tried your tips out (stacking your joints, putting your hand down across from your knee, etc.) last night and what a difference! Thanks again.
