Gymnastics: Reverse Box Base - Propping lower back

p>Counter Tension.(static)

The two gymnasts may lean towards and onto each other whilst remaining in contact with each other. A state of equilibrium may be achieved by pushing against each other and holding the static image created. The two gymnasts may lean towards each other :-

• Face to Face. 
•  Side to Side. 
• Back to Back. or 
• combinations of these situations. 

Propping Actions. Propping actions may occur when a base gymnast uses tense limbs to prop up the weight of a top gymnast and create a counter tension idea.

Static Counter Balance Ideas.

In order to achieve a counter balance the two gymnasts must lean away from each other, whilst remaining in contact with each other. The contact is usually by means of either a Grip or an Interlock. The body weights of the gymnasts are thereby used as counter agencies to create a state of equilibrium
