Gymdog,
Standing BHS are fine, and I can do standing back tucks too! It's really the connection that freaks my out
Everyone else, thanks for the tips! I'll use your suggestions and keep working at it :)
Something else is that I'm a sophomore in high school, I don't want to have to take a break from gymnastics because I only have two years left after this, and I don't want to waste any time if that makes sense
I'm 16 and I've been doing roundoff back handsprings since the year I started gymnastics when I was about 10. It's a physically easy skill for me and I'm also capable of doing multiple back handsprings and back tucks and layouts. About 6 months ago I fell on my head during my BHS and after that...
Good job on your cartwheel!
But I'm talking about back walkovers, which I think could be a little different, since they are blind when going back and are also a little harder for most gymnasts on floor. I'm not sure if the same coaching techniques apply, but I'm honestly very worried. He's...
I have a question. My coach has everyone learn their back walkovers without training them on the low beam first. Some of us (like me) have done them on the low beam before, but not consistently. Some of the girls have never trained a back walkover on low beam ever. He reuses to spot us and tells...
Thank you! Do you think the reason why my body it's ready for layouts is because of a lack of strength? Do you think if I worked on strength in different parts of my soy it would help?
I am a new level 6 gymnast who is currently having trouble learning my layout (IK, my layout is required but I am currently competing highschool season right now). I can do it flawlessly on a tumble track and know the timing of the skill, but when I try it on the regular floor it always turns...
I don't know what's going on, but I'm scared of almost everything right now! I'm scared of my flyaway, squat on, jump up beam mount, switch leap on beam, and a lot more! My first meet is TOMORROW! And I don't know what to do!! I want to be able to go for these skills and I know I can but I just...
It's crazy! I'm a level 5 (technically 6, but I am only doing that because it's optionals and I am in high school, but I have mostly level 5 skills) and most of the people here talk about their 7 year old daughters on level 5 and I'm just like ummm... But don't worry about it! Just have fun and...
I started working on roundoffs on the beam with a red mat around it so it was slightly thicker and after a day my coach told me they were great and to start working them on the regular (low) beam. I can usually land the but they hurt my feet like crazy!!!! Any tips/exersizes/conditioning to help...
