    WAG Strugguling Level 7 gymnast

    I completely understand the rules but I wish we could have included a "your going to be ok, these fears are normal after a long break and you will get through them" message in there.

    MAG Need help / advice - injury causing inability to grip

    Per our chiropractor, it is a pinched nerve in his neck. He is improving but grip is still too weak for p-bars. Hopefully he will be close to 100% when we are in Boston!! Last Thursday I called to make the doctor appointments. We got an appointment for Monday in the Orthopedics office of...

    MAG Need help / advice - injury causing inability to grip

    I made an appointment with an Orthopedic who is out of the same office as the doctor we see for foot and ankle injuries. The appointment is with a general orthopedic that we could get into on Monday. I'm also going to try to get an appointment with a neurologist. The Neurologist we have used...

    MAG Need help / advice - injury causing inability to grip

    My son competes in Championships in a couple weeks and he hurt himself doing high-bar. I don't think it was a true injury on high-bar but the symptoms became obvious while on high-bar. He can't grip with his right hand. When he touches his thumb to his index finger, pain shoots up his arm into...

    MAG Anyone going to the Championships in Boston?

    My son is competing in the Junior division. He did last year too. Last year for the Junior division, the place was so empty that we could sit anywhere we wanted. We started in our seats but then just followed him from event to event. The Senior division will have a larger audience so you will...

    MAG Advocating for Men

    Being devils advocate here, maybe there isn't enough people that want to watch MAG or that have historically watched MAG. I feel that USAG should be promoting MAG and the numbers that historically watched shouldn't be a factor but it could be their argument. USAG needs to help figure out a way...

    MAG The "scoop" on Level 7?

    My son skipped level 6 and went to level 7 when he was 9. I'm not completely sure of the rational for doing that but I guessed that it was because he was going to start doing Future Stars and the level 7 routines were close to the Future Stars routines. I know he had his giant's on p-bars and I...

    MAG Male gymnast books

    When my son was younger (8-12), I searched for male gymnast biographies and didn't find any. I just ordered Way of the Peaceful Warrior and Lance Ringnald's book. I'm not finding the book on Louis Smith on Amazon. Where did you find it?

    MAG Article about my son

    I did Christmas card pictures of my kids with a photographer last year so at that time he also took some individual pictures of each. It isn't something we usually have available.

    MAG Article about my son

    I'm just sharing this article about my son because the more hits it gets, it will show that there is interest in men's gymnastics. My son doesn't love the article because there are inaccuracies in it. For instance he will not be competing in the Senior division at US Championships, the dates...

    MAG Stupid question about saluting

    I had to look at video's to remember what my son does. He does the one arm salute to the judge after the flag is raised then turns back to the apparatus and sort of salutes the apparatus with both arms extended out from his side. After he dismounts, he extends his arms out to the side again...
