    WAG Xcel Gold's Bar Setting?

    Couldn't find anything on google so I went here haha. Does anyone know if Xcel Gold has to have a specific bar setting? Or is it like L4 where you can have it at any distance and any height?

    Parents Chin Up Bar Recs?

    Are there particular chin up bars that you love/hate? DD has asked for a chin up bar to do conditioning at home. Are there features that are recommended?

    WAG Xcel Platinum Bar Help

    Hey All, In Xcel Platinum, the gymnasts are required to have 6 A valued skills and 1 B valued skill. Although there is time left to achieve our goals, one of my gymnasts does not have her B valued skill yet. What is the deduction for not having that B valued skill? Thanks to anyone who replies!

    WAG Bar deductions

    For level 5 bars, is it better to connect the routine, and miss the casts to higher than horizontal or pause and cast high enough - regarding deductions? Also, is there a certain amount of time you have to squat on and jump to the high bar without it being counted as a pause?

    WAG Jumping to the high bar!

    Hi everyone, I guess I'm mostly venting:). As some of you know my DD has recently been diagnosed with Lupus. She's missed some practice due to pain and exhaustion and some lung issues. In top of that she's training to score out of level 4 and compete level 5. On top of THAT she recently got...

    WAG falling safely from high bar

    My kid, who has her L4 bar skills and is working on the L4 routine, has had a few falls off the high bar that sound like narrowly averted disasters, including one fall that she broke with her nose and another where she put her hand down. In the gym I see the optionals using various strategies to...

    WAG Level 2 bar deduction question

    Hey guys, have a quick question about the level 2 bar routine. I know hooking your knee at the end of the mill circle is a 0.5 deduction in level 3 and had always assumed the same for level 2. I am now hearing their is no deduction for hooking the knee in level 2. Any judges or coaches want...

    WAG Level 3 bar question

    If they do a kip instead of a glide/PO, is it a kip/cast/FHC or kip/FHC? ODD competed her kip yesterday for the first time and scored a 9.1 (yay). I thought her coach said it was a kip/cast/FHC, but she only did a kip/FHC. It was a last minute decision, so I'm not sure if she knew what to do.
