    Gymnasts Amazing practice

    Hey! Great jobbb on your meet, I'm so proud of you!!! Yes I know its hard to deal with injustice. You have more life experience than me so you'd know how to deal with this better but here's my thoughts: You know you did well. Be proud of that, in your books, you won. Your only competitor is you...

    WAG How many hours do you train per week for Xcel?

    At my gym, I think its 9 hours for silver (not sure), and 12 for both gold and platinum. No diamonds currently but when there were, they did 16 hours. I don't know about bronze.

    Gymnasts I'm always getting rips on bars. Any suggestions?

    If you don't use grips, use tape grips when you're healing from a rip and have to do bars. If you do use grips, you can put the tape grip and wear normal grips over that.

    Gymnasts Level 7 back pass

    You don't need it but it may be because 1. To get ready for higher levels where 3 passes may be necessary 2. They wanna compete their full but they don't have a front layout. 3. Something else

    Gymnasts Level 7 back pass

    Aren't round offs/back handsprings flight? So RO Back full and RO BHS back full would also fulfill requirements (just curious - I'm not super technical with requirements)

    Gymnasts Level 7 back pass

    You need a layout with no twists in 7. It could be either front or back. So if you have your front layout, you could still compete your full.

    WAG Uneven Bars

    Oh wow, thats less than 2 years. And this is a level 7 skill. That's very fast progress! Definitely will improve with time (as do almost all things). I'd say its kinda common, I have a couple teammates who do it. At meets though, most have straight arms. But don't worry, keep working on it -...

    WAG Uneven Bars

    In terms of scoring, no. Not different. Straddle is easier for most gymnasts though.

    WAG level 8 gymnastics requirements

    A level 8 at my gym does round off half punch front and front tuck + front pike. She gets her 10 SV with that, I think.

    WAG Level 8 beam requirements

    Unrelated to the discussion but wow! You do know a lot as a parent. My parents barely know what a round off is lol, let alone As and Bs. My dad even forgets the names of the events 😭😂

    Gymnasts Amazing practice

    Okay time to write my update lol. Gymnastics is going okay. We're in meet season so lots and lots of routines and not too many upgrades. My ankle still hurts (usually after/during floor) and idk why its not healing - maybe because I put too much stress on it too soon. But I can't really not...

    Hmm maybe I'll do that one day Oh no it's midday rn (I'm at school) Haha yes definitely For floor, we do slightly watered down routines and sprint one lap back and forth along the diagonal after each tumbling pass (run the direction you started the pass from then back to where you were...

    Gymnasts Amazing practice

    Woohoo!! Yes, it takes time to build endurance for routines. We used to endurance routines before season started and still do them sometimes. Definitely took a while to get to a point where the tumbling looked good in the routine, especially the second pass. Ong wow! I definitely can't do a...

    Parents How to prevent a rip the day before a meet

    Haven't done this before personally, but some of my teammates and some youtubers use callus shavers to shave down the calluses making your hand smoother and less likely to rip. Someone else may have more effective suggestions though 🤷🏻‍♀️
