    Level 5 bar deduction questions.

    I have two friends daughters going to level 5 this season.. One of them doesn't have her kip. She was asking me if I knew what the deduction was for no kips and being spotted doing the KIP.. My daughter is level 5 again this year, but has no problem with her KIPS, so I'm not sure.. I told...

    Giants - strap bar progression?

    Hi all! I've been doing giants on the strap bar for a while now, but when I tried working on the "regular" bar with grips, I was completely stuck and couldn't do even one. Basically, what I wanted to know is - are there any tips that might help me out here? I mean, there's got to be some...

    Bar straps

    I have always seemed to have a problem with getting the right size straps on strap bar. At IGC, I got the biggest size straps there were and they still killed my wrists! I could only do two swings because it hurt so badly. And a girl who had the same size wrists as me said that they were really...

    Wood chin-up bar???

    DD's new gym requires conditioning at home which includes chin-ups, legs lifts and chin-up holds. We have a chin-up bar, but dd has a very hard time hanging onto the metal bar. In gym, she can do 10 chin-ups without coming down, but she can't make it past 2 or 3 on the metal bar. Is anyone...

    Your experience with the strap bar?

    Next Tuesday I'm going to be starting learning giants on the strap bar. I haven't used it before, but have seen people using it and know how it works and everything. I'm really excited! It's just that the one thing making me somewhat nervous is the thought of losing control and being stuck on...

    How to make a frame bar for tumbletrak/trampoline

    I'm interested in utilizing a frame bar on our tumbletrak for the purposes of bar drills. The thing is, $269 is too steep a price and my gym won't go for it. We have a floor bar which is long enough to reach across comfortably (even across the regular trampoline). Has anyone improvised their...

    Body type and implications in training a Tak or Jam on high bar

    4fsFtaA_dLI In watching this video, I was struck by the gymnast's ability to reach his hands out past his toes. I have a couple of gymnasts who appear to be completely flat in a closed pike stretch, but whose arms still do not extend nearly this far past the tips of their toes. Is this...

    Quick question- Is the bar too low?

    Okay, I am very tall and have long legs, and I'm wondering if the bar we use at our gym is too low for me. My coach says that the sets we have don't go any higher but the ones at meets might. I'm 5'7 and 1/4, the low bar is around my chin. I tend to struggle with kips, and I'm wondering if this...

    Level 4 bar dismount

    Are there any new drills or a different way I can teach the level 4 bar dismount. I am dealing with the girls piking around the bar and shooting their toes down to the ground for the under swing. I have them work on double back hip circles and back hip circle stop half way but once they go on...

    Is it acceptable for taller gymnasts to straddle their legs from low to high as they prepare for their kip? Thanks

    Bar Conditioning

    I don't know what it is called but I am assuming it is bar conditioning. My daughter is 4 and at her practice last week the coach gave the girls a challenge on the bars. They had to do a pullover to a front support. Then the girls had to do a belly roll off and hang and then do a chin up pull...

    Parents Liv's bar progress (L5)

    Ok so it's still undecided if Liv will be able to compete L5 in the fall or repeat L4. She is very determined to compete L5. They are still uptraining L5 and L6 skills and she seems to be progressing nicely. (but what do I know....I am just the mama!) As a matter of fact I don't think she's...

    Weird Bar Trick

    My 4 year old went to open gym. She loves to just play on the bar so once again here she goes with her wierd bar tricks. She loves to start like she is going to do a back hip circle but ends with tucking her legs around the bars. She keeps this going with straightening her legs and tucking them...

    Proper way to spot 5 year old on high bar?

    Hello all, I am new here and was hoping I could get an expert opinion or two. I am not a gymnast and don't know much about the sport at all, but my 5 year old takes a recreational class and loves it! Today on the high bar, though, she scared the living daylights out of me! Her instructor was...

    bar routine

    Hi, there. My question deals with the bars. My daughter wants to start doing giants and other higher level skills. The problem is her coaches. They seem to be holding her and the other HS girls back. I notice they seem to be afraid to try new skills or they are lacking the cofidence to...
