Before starting the giant, be sure to powder the hands, to reduce damage due to friction. Grip the bar tight enough not to fly off but not to tight to restrict rotation. A giant starts off as a hand stand on the uneven bars, then you swing the body downward. After swinging the body downward, slightly bending at the shoulders to swing upwards again, in a complete rotation, ending in the second handstand. When rotating through the giant be sure to stretch your body at the bottom of the rotation, if your knees or elbows are bent you are bound to fall off.

When we're uneven bars first used?
The women's uneven bars started out when the men's parallel bars were adjusted so that one bar was high and one low with added supports to allow them to swing in a different direction than the bars were created for. Each Olympic cycle after women's gymnastics became an Olympic sport, the uneven bars were moved further and further apart until they began to resemble the men's high bar apparatus. Today, women's uneven bars are almost to the point of being to parallel high bars. Because of the added bar, women have had to become more proficient than most men when it comes to technical execution of basic and advanced skills on the Uneven Bars.
