    WAG Comeback after 2 years?

    hi chalk bucket, it has been two years after I have quit gym. Until about a month ago, I didn't miss it at all. But now I have found myself trying on old Leo's, having dreams about being back at gym and watching gymnastics montages. Is a comeback even possible after that long? How would I...

    Hand Lotion

    Okay this is kind of a stupid question but do your coaches let you put on hand lotion? I overheard my coach saying that hand lotion is bad for gymnasts hands, it makes them rip more. Is this really true??? Do your coaches have anything to say about hand lotion?:jump:
