2 How this skill serves the routine
Importance of giant to routine. Goal 10 in a row (10 skills in routine, giant can be placed anywhere within the set). This creates the level of training standard, and technique that will be required for high level routine development A strong technical foundation of the giant will lead to the more difficult long hang skills.
