    Daily Schedule?

    well at my old gym we would like alternate our events too. So say one practice we would do beam and floor then the next vault and bars. Now at my new gym we practice each event every practice, except we only do vault sometimes because we have to set it up. I like practicing all events at one...

    hand placement on back handspring (beam)

    So I recently decided to start working on my back handsprings on beam. When I do them, instead of putting one hand in front of the other, i put one hand on top of the other. I'm wondering is this safe? Sometimes my hand lands on my top 4 fingers but sometimes it only lands on my pointer finger...

    Thumbs around bar or not?

    when i hold the bar i just naturally put my thumb by my other fingers. when i first started i didn't know what to do so i tried both ways and putting my thumb away from other fingers just didn't feel right to me aha. i've also heard later on it can be dangerous to do that

    YMCA vs. USAG gymnastics

    Well i used to train at the Y and i always wanted to go to a real club gym. I think the Y doesn't have as good of a program as club gyms. I haaated how there was barely any hours in the gym.. i competed level 4-6 there and from those levels the times were the same, three days a week for 2 hours...
