    Ankle injury

    I hurt my ankle yesterday at practice, simply falling off the beam. My foot landed half on the 8 incher below and rolled badly. Some questions: - Should you be able to put weight on the foot and if not, is this a bad sign? - If its broken, is there still some ROM in your foot? (I hope its not) -...

    Gymnasts Muscle soreness

    What do you guys do when you're really sore? Additionally, do you still do everything at practice? Also, dunno why but every time we do any leg conditioning, my legs are ALWAYS sore the next day. None of my teammates have this happen to them. Doesn't happen with my arms or core though...

    Off Topic Sequins in warmups

    Hey, does anyone know if there's a way to remove sequins from a warmup jacket? For context, I have this black jacket with my name on it from my previous gym but the back is too flashy and has the previous gym's name on it. Since we can't sell it (my name's on there), I want to get remove the...

    WAG Platinum vault

    In USAG platinum, do you have to actually land the vault or do you do a timer like the level 6 vault? Asking because in most YouTube videos, gymnasts are actually landing vaults but I've only been doing mine up to a mat stack...

    Off Topic Blog website

    Hi @HopefulGymnast I was just wondering where you got the domain/hosting for your website and if you had to pay for it? Or does wordpress just make one for you and hosts it? Did you have to pay anything to create/deploy the website?

    WAG Kip connection

    I'm struggling with connecting something out of a kip. I can do a baby cast out of a kip on the low bar but that's not enough for a cast handstand. I can't even connect a squat on for some reason - I always end my kip with my hips away from the bar and pushing down on the bar which is probably...

    Gymnasts Amazing practice

    I don't mean to brag but today was such a great practice!! I got my cast handstand on my own, got toe on handstand on strap spotted on the first day doing them, got my round off tuck off beam, and went for a BHS step out on beam for the first time ever. Vaults were great as well! I LOVE such...

    WAG Split leap question

    In a split leap, is there a deduction if you bend your front leg and kick to a straight leg? (Both for beam and floor) This is what I'm talking about: (the first few seconds)

    WAG Platinum Requirements Check

    Please let me know if the following starts off with a 10.0 SV for USAG Xcel Platinum Floor: round off back tuck, front handspring front tuck, split leap + tuck jump, full turn (I can also swap split leap with switch leap or full turn with a 1.5 turn if needed) Beam: round off, leap + split...

    Are coaches allowed to choose the order in which the gymnasts go in at meets? (For Xcel Plat if it matters)

    WAG AAU Platinum vs USAG Platinum

    Hey! Can you help me choose between AAU and USAG platinum? I don't know what I should consider in deciding between the two. If it matters, I'm older than the average gymnast in these levels.

    WAG Grips life

    How long do grips usually last for someone who's around gold-platinum level? (No giants) I've had mine for about 2 years now, should I get new ones?

    Anon Body hair

    I was just wondering what you guys do about body hair (especially underarms). Waxing is expensive and hurts a lot. Tried epilator but its scary and causes ingrowns and stuff. Heard way too many bad things about Nair and apparently shaving causes thicker, harder hair. Just lost what to do - i...

    Off Topic Healthy snacks

    I would love love love some ideas on healthy snacks that can either be made on the weekends or something and stored for the week or made really quickly before eating. Readymade also works if its available for a reasonable price in publix/walmart/Kroger.. I don't like peanut butter and yoghurt...

    WAG Soreness after break

    I just had my first practice after a one month long vacation. I'm feeling soreness all over my body. I know it happens so just needed some advice - should I exercise again today (on my own - to get rid of soreness + evals soon) or rest?
