Last level 8 question. I’m trying to figure out start values so we can start to put together my routines on each event. So if anyone can figure out what my start values on each event would be, that would be really helpful!!! VT: Tuck Tsuk or Pike Tsuk UB: Kip CHS 1/2 pirouette Kip...

so everyone knows i couldn’t do giants for the life of me. i wouldn’t even get a spot because i thought they were so bad. well today i went for it for the first time (with a spot, with a coach i trust) on the low bar and she was like oh you’re basically doing it by yourself. so we went to high...

So we get new floor routines every year. Some people get new routines and some people get passed down routines from higher level gymnasts. Summer time is when most people start looking at music, so most of us have music picked out. I’ve had two picked out— which my coaches liked both. Later...

How bad would it kill a score to not have giants on bars, but have really clean clear hips or uprises instead? I have competed L7 successfully without giants, scoring high 8s and low 9s, but i don’t know how bad it would kill my score in L8. This would be the my L8 bar routine without giants...

i got about a nickel sized rip on the bottom of my hand today, and i’m not quite sure how to heal it. I put on new skin and it was the most unbearable pain in my life, i couldn’t move my hand and it became terribly itchy. I then put some antibiotic cream on like i normally would. I haven’t had a...

I posted a while ago about my hand slipping off the bar coming out of handstands — while I haven’t got new grips yet I was able to get a new skill — supposedly the “hardest skill in the gym” which I’m kind of shocked. Here’s the skill: I still don’t have giants... Anything to help improve my...

Didn’t know where to post this.. Anyways, I recently went to a gymnastics camp, where I was working giants/chs to flyaways/twisting, etc. I’m pretty sure I’ve discussed this on here before that i slip off the bar coming out of handstands. My coach at my gym says it’s because of regripping the...

ah yes—summer practices. the beginning of working new skills and—failure! So I recently got my CHS on HB on Monday (first time working them). I'm supposed to be getting my giants this summer, but after the first week it is NOT going well. I got the first part obviously, the CHS. But I can't...

Okay so since I am training level 7/8, this summer i'm working giants mostly. Today was our first official "summer" practice , since we had state yesterday. Anyways, I started working CHS on highbar since my ultimate goal for summer is to get my giants. Turns out this was A LOT easier than...

So a while back, when my sister was about 5 or so, (9 now), she took classes at our gym. However, she was really hyper (due to ADHD which was undiagnosed at the time), and quit. She switched to cheerleading. We've taught her a bhs which only took her a few months to get it on the couch and move...

I've been thinking about getting my cartilage piercing ever since I got my third loves back in August. My only question is, how would this work with gymnastics? I obviously won't be getting a hoop or a very large earring, but will it affect anything in gymnastics?

So on saturday, I had a meet. If you've seen any of my following posts I do aga so you may understand this somewhat. I was a senior 9 at this meet and moved up to a senior 10 with no more meets before state.. and the senior 10s are mostly kids who have been senior 10s for a while and are...

I compete in a few hours and woke up with dizziness. I'm not quite sure how i feel about it... I'm still kinda dizzy everytime I look down. But i was doing backtucks on tramp this morning and wasn't bad. I'm not sure how I feel about competing today, and I definitely do not trust myself on beam...

I wasn't sure what to title this or what group to put it in so feel free to change it if necessary. Okay so it's meet week, a meet on Saturday. I'm supposed to go to gym with the exception of Wednesday due to tutoring. However, this week I didn't go monday because I had a cheer meeting (meaning...

So a few months ago we had to enter in an entrepreneurship contest and I got a letter in the mail the other day explaining that I was a finalist. I wasn't sure what I had written about, so I looked at my word documents online and I found that I had written about a gymnastics company, but not...

So we have to start registering for USAG 2017-2018 season again in a few months. I've been told that if I can get my L8 skills (minus giants, but other Bs to fill in) I can compete L8 and skip L7? I competed L7 last year but L6 this year, because I didn't have giants (but only 2 of us moved...

I have a few questions about high ankle sprains. How would you rate the pain of a high ankle sprain and the cause of it? I twisted it doing some weird jump today, with severe pain in the beginning and moderate pain now. How is bruising? As of right now I have a small black and blue oval...

I currently can't compete this in usag (i don't think, correct me if i'm wrong you can't compete D skills in L8) but if you've seen previous posts i'm in aga and it's bonus (.1 added to my SV). I am possibly competing in next weekend to see how it fits in my routine and to see if it will work...

So I'm not sure exactly what happened with my knee but it just started hurting on the inner side of the knee cap (and under it). I'm not sure what tendon or bone or whatever it is but I have an MRI scheduled to check it out. So this is weird. Today at bars I was fine, except for having to do a...

So I have a CHS perfectly fine.. on LB. Haven't really thought about putting it on HB yet because i don't need it. I came really close to getting it today and I don't understand why i can't get it. If i didn't have a knee injury though I might've been able to get it. So basically my kip is fine...
