I was talking to someone a Deary's yesterday and apparently this is going to get worse before it gets better. One of the two chalk makers in the world went out of business so the only remaining supplier isn't able to keep up with demand.

Who performed the best chinese situp you've ever seen. also what else have you heard it called? please post a video if you have a good one.

My team kids didn't like it. I thought it seemed a little cleaner but it would make regular chalk not stick to the bar so you couldn't use either or? and some of the girls felt like they were gonna peel so we stopped using it completely.

I actually require people to use them for yurchenkos but other then that only if its after a wrist injury. However I do alot of prehab and wrist strengthening

I would stay away from the front hip because its a pain to teach and it doesnt flow well. any reason why you can do another back hip?

This is a weird one but a meet I goto always has a box of aspirin and I always go back because of it.

I am apparently the only one not alarmed by this. Every coach has to teach there first something sometime. Find your ideal version of that skill and begin from the start by drilling it in small parts then make sure you proceed safely by working it uphill quite a bit and only flipping it when you...

assuming she has a very strong front handspring already. do a lot of uphill vaulting to where she over rotates to her hands and knees also do a lot of double fronts to get the air awareness and landing. I also recently started doing the uphills to a sideways mat then front tucking off. and these...

He's nuts..

More often the not its a shoulder flexibility issue and relaxing just before the hands hit the beam. Keep pushing up and back.

I couldn't agree more

yea it can be rough on your shoulders and elbows

when you go to a level 9 meet and kids are landing tsuks on their faces so the coach decides to pull the 8 incher to give them more room

start with the roundoff drills and make sure you take your time. A safe yurchenko can easily take a year to teach.

it looks like you have an extra tenth of bonus so you should still have a 10 start if you miss the handstand. I would also definitely keep working on the big release you'll need it to be at the level of competition later in the year and at bigger meets.
