Good job. Essentially, the pullover is simply having enough strength to elevate center mass above and over the bar. Some kids can come right off the street and learn this within a session while others require time to build strength. I always try to communicate this parent who feel there kids should be progressing faster. To instill a feeling of confidence in the student I will often start beginners with kick overs. There are several variations that help instill confidence
and develop awareness for the movement. Thanks, Coach Wes

Cool but what if your spotting a kid who weighs 160 pounds

What do you do when they get their feet over the bar, but get stuck on top and can’t push up to front support?

Everytime I do this I feel like I’m a fall and fracture my cranium

As much as I appreciate the video, pick a kid without good form
