    Yet another grip question

    So it has come time to get new grips. Has anyone used the tru grip 3 finger grips? I find them interesting, and want to try, but I'm curious if anyone has used them yet. Thanks

    WAG Nica Hults

    Was it just me or did it look like she had tights on? Or was it a brace on her ankle? Granted that gold did nothing for her skin tone, but I couldn't tell if she had tights or not!

    Nerves!!!

    I'm just wondering, what do you guys do for nerves before a meet? My last meet, I was so worked up, that I messed up super easy skills on bars, it was a little embarrassing! So how do you cope? It didn't help that I had to wait for what felt like forever before I was ok'd to go

    Shoulders and handstands on beam

    So I have quite a conundrum when it comes to handstands on beam. I have sublaxation in my shoulders. I can do a vertical handstand on a 6 inch beam, but when I try and do it on a 4 inch beam, both of my shoulders literally feel as though they have popped out of place, causing both pain and...

    WAG It happened in 2012!!

    It's been pretty quiet around here the last few weeks guys! And I figured since I started the last couple of this week I accomplished's, I would start this years as well, but with a new name. And of course, lets add what we WANT to accomplish this year too! Thus far this year, what have I...

    Adult week is the 12th week, and the cost is 895. Anyone looking to go? I have wanted to go the last couple of years and think I am really going to try to go this year! (BTW, I did email them, so there is for sure an adult week this year!)

    Beam accomplishment

    So after what feels like FOREVER trying, I got my full turn on beam today! The owner of the gym, who also was a coach for a million and one years, was watching me and came over and gave me some pointers, and BAM, there it was! I was only able to do one, but I did it!

    I know its like, 9 months away, but anyone thinking of going to camp woodwards adult session next summer? I've wanted to go the last few summers, and I think this year will be the year. Maybe we can get a group together?

    meet results

    So for those of you wondering, I had my meet today. Got a 33.95 overrall, which I was happy with because I wanted a 32 overall. Beam WA first, and I fell on my turn, then fell trying to get back ON. In hindsight, that's pretty funny. Uneventful after that, but skipped My handstand. Score was...

    Level four dismount

    Ok so I understand the concept of the level 3 dismount, it's no problem. Do a handstand, fall down to your feet. Now we started working level 4 beam dismount, and it's a similar concept, but for some reason I can't get the idea of the half turn down. It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me...

    wrist pain, mill circle

    Ok so I just started working on mill circles yesterday. And I found my right wrist hurt quite a bit with the undergrip portion of it. Went home, took some NSAIDS, figured it would be better, still hurts quite a bit today. Just wondering if anyone or their DD has experienced pain when first...

    Foot undeez

    I was wondering if anyone used foot undeez, something you usually find for dance. I was thinking about them, because my feet tend to sweat a lot, and it makes turning on beam and floor rather tricky. Are these even allowed for a competition either? Just thought they may be a cheaper alternative...

    Surgery tomorrow

    Ok, I am finally having my ACL and possible meniscus fix surgery tomorrow! I'm actually a little excited b/c I have been walking around with this since April, and I have continued training-albeit lightly-as well, so hopefully tomorrow is going to be a peace of cake! Hopefully recovery goes well...

    Torn ACL

    Has anyone had a torn ACL? What was the surgery and recovery like, and the bigger thing, how long before returning to gymnastics occurred? I am tentatively slated for surgery beginning-middle of June, and know its going to take quite a bit of rehab, but I was just wondering other people's...
