    resurfacing metal bar?

    I got a metal practice bar for the kids from a gym that has closed. (They're not doing anything fancy, just staying strong.) The surface is starting to flake in places and I would like to resurface it properly and hopefully get more for it than I paid when I am ready to sell it. Ideas? What...

    Men L5 Hi Bar Question

    In L5, how much leeway is allowed in the long hang pullover? I have seen kids do it where they flop over the bar and hit their hips, lean up and continue. Then there is the really nice 3/4 giant where the hips don't touch and they whip around....More like a L6 looking thing....... What is...

    Questions about buying a bar

    I was recently looking around online for mini at home bars. I found a good one and it's a norberts mini bar. The only problem I have is the weight limit. It says up to 80 pounds unless bolted. I weigh about a 100 pounds and I am about 5 foot 2 inches. My question is would sandbags be good enough...

    Why did I ever stop doing high bar?

    So today we finally finished setting up a new pit bar, and for the first time my gym now has a men's rail over a pit. To break it in, I put on high bar grips for the first time in about six years and swung around a bit. AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I can't believe I ever stopped training high bar...

    Low Bar height??

    I'm wondering how high you have the low bar. I'm 15, 5'2" and a level 8/9. I have issues with keeping my feet up on my counters. My low bar is so low right now that i can't even swing on it with my knees bent because they hit the ground. Is that bad? So, where do you have your low bar?

    My dd just completed Level 8 and basically has been doing just backward giants on the high bar. What is the next progression in terms of pirouettes (1/2, full turns) on the high bar while doing giants. Do most level 9's do a 1/2 turn or full turn. Any explanation of what to expect next would be...
