Best Answer

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.
