Backward Roll to Support

The swing to backward roll to support is challenging and should only be attempted if an athlete is prepared for its unique positional and strength demands. The recommended prerequisites and scaling options include deep and confident ring dips, a strict muscle-up, a pull-over on the bar, and a strict backward roll to support. The keys to the movement lie in elevating the hips above the plane of the hands and keeping the rings close to the body.
