    Coaches How to stop leaning sideways while twisting?

    That's a link of my double full. As I take off, I'm leaning to my right slightly, which makes me travel sideways and thus makes things like 2 and 1/2's hard to land. Since I twist left, I assume if I'm dropping my shoulder early I would be leaning to the left and not the right. Why am I doing...

    Coaches What too look at on half twisting skills?

    Wasn't sure where to post this since I'm asking this to try and help my own twisting, but since it has to do with specific techniques I posted here, sorry if its in the wrong place! Anyway, do you guys teach gymnasts to spot the floor and "look behind them" or to keep their head neutral? For...

    MAG Tkatchev vs clear hip tkatchev

    So my coach said he was thinking about me trying clear hip tkatchevs. Reason being he believes there should be less to go wrong and less possibility of injury/big falls compared to giant tkatchevs. Also our bar is a rec bar and doesn't go high enough for me to giant anymore (don't worry, I go to...

    MAG Delaying back twisting?

    I used to twist incredibly late, but as I've gotten older, I seem to be twisting earlier and earlier. Lately I've been twisting straight off the floor on my fulls and double fulls. Any drills or advice on how to re train my body to twist later? I'd like to wait until my toes hit horizontal in...

    MAG Kaz vs Tsuk Full?

    What are the differences and reasons for doing each? Is one better than the other in the long run? Right now I'm training a full twisting tsuk but I'm not entirely sure if its a kaz or not. I round off left and twist left which makes me think it's a kaz, but Im not twisting off the table, I'm...

    MAG 2 and 1/2 VS. 3/1 points value question.

    So I was looking at the men's code and it says that a back 2 and 1/2 on floor is a D, and so is a back 3/1. So my question is this: what's the advantage of competing a triple if its the same point value? Thanks!

    MAG Level 10 floor requirements and standards?

    I'm making a video soon to send to colleges, but it's hard since I don't compete. I'd like to put together a floor routine to show them though. What are the requirements (holds, passes, etc) for a level 10 routine? And what's a 'standard' level 10 floor routine? Thanks! If you have any info...

    Coaches New Coach.. Any tips?

    So I'm a 16 year old guy, and I've been doing recreational gymnastics for the past 6 years. Recently I got a job offer from my gym. They want me to start 'shadowing' the current coaches this summer and eventually start teaching some of the littler (mom and me, maybe 4-5 year olds) kids. I'm...

    MAG MAG Skill Value Chart??

    Is there anywhere I could find a full chart of skills for all events showing what their values are? As in, something that lists all the skills in a certain event, and shows its value as A, B, C, etc. I've tried searching google for something like this but I've come up empty. Any help would be...

    So... What Comes Next?

    I'm currently working on my double back, double twist, and arabian double on floor. On vault I've got a handspring front and layout tsuk. I'm wondering what 'comes next' as far as skill progression. I don't compete and my coach is extremely conservative as far as learning new things, but I'm...

    Need Help With Double Twist

    I've been doing full and a halves for almost a year now, and they're fine. Decently high, the twist is fast, etc. But whenever I try a double, all I do is a bad 1 1/2. I have a lot of momentum going backwards(I always have to roll out of it, which never happens on my 1 1/2's), and the twist...

    (MAG) Skills for each event and level?

    There isn't a mens team near me, and since I'm going to FlipFest again in 2 weeks, I'd like to know what I should be working on or towards. I've read the compulsory level 7 routines, but I'm curious as to what skills are usually learned at higher levels. Thanks. :) P.S I don't even know what...

    to Compete, or to not Compete, That is The question.

    Hey there, this is my first, and I think this is where this topic would belong, but forgive me if it's not. :) So I've been doing male artistic gymnastics for about 2 years now (I'm 13 years old), and now I have the option to compete. But here's the thing... well, things. Number one is that...
