hey everyone thanks for tuning into the performance lab don't forget to
subscribe below to the right for updates to new videos and a huge announcement coming up enjoy
what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance of California and we have another
new breakdown for you today on Simone biles mumble she just did a triple double the the
other day which is essentially it's like three twists and two backflips while doing her floor
routine something that has never been done by a female gymnast ever and even the male gymnast
that have done it you know the comment was at least by the commentators here was that the you
know males added didn't do near as cleanly as some own bowels did and you know the reason for
the breakdown is just because you know they talked about as well just how amazing of accomplishment
it is that she's able to go and do this this is not something that you know like I said there's no
female gymnast has ever done this in the history of the world and so the fact that she was able to
do it and do it as cleanly as she could as she did absolutely amazing so I thought we would go
ahead and and break it down obviously huge fans of Simone biles and just her overall ability to
utilize her body and her control of her body and her ability to move efficiently and effectively
it's just in land and jump and create force I mean it she's just an unbelievable athlete
there's nobody that is on a level a level like she is in terms of just pure athleticism I mean it's
unbelievable what she's able to do so let's go and break it down so you can see she's I'm going
into generating force here when she lands you know she just has so much range of motion here in her
toes that she's able to and her feet that she's able to land and really generate force a lot of
force right here to make it so now as she's going upwards and getting getting vertical she starts
at a good place to be able to maximize overall force production obviously you know part of what
what happened here is that as she's going into that that back handspring and then about to jump
up now she's when she's loading here she's she's putting a large amount of force within her and she
you know because she has such a large amount of strength and mobility it's very easy for her to be
able to to generate a load to be able to load her muscles so right here is all she really needs that
slight bend in the knee that's like been through the calves to make it so now she can get a lot of
hip extension a lot of extension within the knee and full extension within the caps as well now we
can go into you can see immediately going into twisting and you know what what's so impressive
and even you know not only when she does this but when you just watch her overall perform it's just
how much speed she's able to get in her movements I mean when she goes and she jumps and and starts
to doing her twist and her foot sort and you know whatever it is that she's doing in the the actual
movement it just happened so so fast they're just amazing like she's just going and she's twirling
so quickly and then she lands that she just sticks in it just like wow that is unbelievable what just
happened and this is another thing you know obviously this is something that has become
a reality because of how well she's able to twist and turn and just create excellent keep excellent
12 her body so you could see here she's going she'sshe's initiating or twist without that right
arm as she's initiating the twist she's been in the knees and does an excellent job here of being
so stable within the spine so stable within the core that she was able to go and do these
rotations and and the flips and not have a lot of movement I mean look at how locked in she is as
she's going through the twisting this that was her second twist you can see as we break it down this
is twist one and there was that first flip there now she's going to twist - and then here comes
that twist three with that last flip as she's coming down and through so there's three twisting
and two flips there and again I mean look at how well she's able to keep everything locked in she's
so stable within her core you know her spines hardly even moving she's just kind of wrapping
her arms around keeping those knees bent as she's able to twist so she has so much you know it's
a mobility and a stability thing she has so much strength within a rotational core you know Bleek's
you know the parts of her like lateral core that make it so you can you know twist as well but then
you also have to have a lot of strength within your you know abdominals and erectors to make it
so the spine maintains posture while going through all these twists as well cuz you know really what
makes it so she could do this is the ability for her to control him land all of it being able to
create acceleration is one thing but usually how the body works is you can't fully accelerate what
you can't decelerate so the fact that she's able to decelerate makes it so now she's in a position
where she can you know create the acceleration you need to actually complete this movement so
she goes and she lands in and one of the things are just so impressive especially if we watch
let's watch this in full speed real quick where you could see this how fast she's moving boom
but when when she lands it I mean how cuz it's you know being able to go this high in the air
and being able to twist that fast and movie moving back quickly there's so much force that is hitting
the ground right here boom and what she is just unbelievably talented at is being able to absorb
that amount of force so cleanly just so cleanly I mean she did jump a little bit off to the side
you know but we've seen her do things where she just is twisting so faster than just locks in
and just sticks it and so she just goes in and you know I was able to control that also well
after moving so fast and you can see you know one of the things that that stands out me to me with
what she's doing this is look at her mobility of her spine you know she's so far behind is bending
so much and she has her pelvis and her legs just locked in right here and I know she's just trying
to adjust to what's going on with her trying to keep her feet in right she's trying to keep her
body as far forward as she can to make sure he doesn't step on the line but her ability to be
that mobile in her spine is why she has so much strength in the spine so you know really being
able to create mobility and stability within a joint is how you continue to progress the joint
or progress the the overall area the the segment right so when we're talking about like lower core
or you know middle core or pelvis the fact that she has so much mobility instability within the
pelvis makes it so now she's able to move better within the core because she has so much mobility
to somebody within the core she's able to move better in the pelvis so you know they go off of
each other and and the more that she was able to build the more mobility more less stability then
she can continue to progress and progressed in progress so one of the reason why she's so stable
and able to lock in so well is because look at how mobile she is what she's able to let go she
has that much overall ability to bend in her spine and also bend through her pelvis which one she's
in the air though she looks like it's she's a rock she doesn't move at all so again that's what gets
that that stability was when she's moving through the air it looks like a rock and there's mobility
right here when she's when she's finished and being able to fully bend the spine you
know those are playing off each other making sure she's able to continue to progress as an athlete
and really makes it to you know how she is today so you know just something to consider as all the
gymnasts that are watching this as you're trying to train and trying to you know imitate Simone
biles because I know there's gonna be a lot of big gymnasts that come up in the coming years because
of how high of a sailor that she's sitting right now with all the things that she's doing with her
her overall ability to succeed as a as a gymnast so yeah there's always guys I you know love doing
these types of breakdowns love giving you guys a little bit more information about how you can
move a little bit more effectively this you know if you're interested in getting a breakdown of you
doing a movement you know would be happy to help you out via what were you happy to be able to use
some more information on how you can you know improve something like pelvis rotation pelvis
stability rib rotation spine stability there's a lot of things that we could obviously improve
depending on what the movement is jumping you know something within from a gymnastic
perspective we obviously do a lot with speed a lot with football but we're just trying to be able to
give as much overall benefit that we can to as many people out there and I think that uh you
know what Jim Nisour just something I'm very very fascinating fascinating because of the overall
complexity in the movements that they're able to do and accomplish so a lot of respect form
and you know hopefully you guys can get some some good information from this and you know
implement it into your own gymnastics training so if you guys have any questions don't hesitate to
reach out and I will talk to you so you know I hope you really enjoyed it if you did you could
