Optimum technique for generating angular momentum in accelerated backward giant circles prior to a dismount

In Men's Artistic Gymnastics the backward giant circle on high bar is used to produce the angular momentum that the gymnast needs to perform somersaulting dismounts. Dismounts where the gymnast performs two somersaults in the layout (straight body) position require the greatest angular momentum...
