G.S. George on ?shape? ? Gymnastics Coaching.com

Gerald S George:

The importance of form (body shape) should be patently obvious to all professionals associated with judged sports.

Yet more often than not, specific interpretations of correct body shape are incomplete, inaccurate, or both. Rarely does this concept go beyond aspects such as locked elbows and knees, pointed toes, legs held together, deep pikes, wide straddles, and the like. Asymmetrical cervical, thoracic, and lumbar curvatures, improper pelvic girdle alignment, and poor arm-trunk or leg-trunk angles are some of the typical body-shape deviations that slip by seemingly undetected. ?

Patterns of Motion

Some variations of shape during giant are ?techniques?, some are ?errors?. ? And a small subset are also judging deductions.

If your gymnast can do a giant without taking a deduction, it doesn?t necessarily mean that it?s a good giant.

That excerpt gives you an idea of the kind of content in the G.S. George coaching manual ? Championship Gymnastics.
