Once a gymnast has mastered a fair layout gainer, they can progress to a gainer full.  Gymnasts should start practicing this skill from an elevated surface to a loose foam pit.  The gymnast must focus on creating a good rotation during the layout.  To create the desired rotation, the gymnast must swing up strongly with the free leg.
