    MAG High Bar - Thumbs Around The Bar?

    Hi, I had a few questions about skills on high bar: 1. When you do a Higgins into eagle grip do you try to grasp the bar with your thumb around? (I've seen it done both with thumbs and without all the way up to elite and wondered which is more commonly taught/safer) 2. Do you do eagle grip...

    WAG Low bar to high bar flight

    Recently I learnt a new move on bars where I do a straddle undershoot catch the high bar, I think it's also know as a sole circle catch the high bar. I'm just wondering what is the proper name for this flight element? And also I know some gymnasts do it with a pike undershoot catch! What is...

    WAG Home bar? Yes or no?

    I know this has been asked before with varied responses. My DD is in a level 3 training group but struggling to get some of the bar skills. She's anxious for a home bar so she can practice at home. She would be practicing all of the level 3 bar skills. Should I be more concerned with her...

    Coaches Recommendation for a bar system?

    Can anyone recommend a portable (no anchors) bar for a recreational gymnastics program out of a rec center, i.e. it's set up / put down. We are just starting to purchase equipment (starting from scratch) and cannot decide on a bar. We'd prefer something up to age 14...THANKS COACHES!

    WAG Level 4 bar routine question

    Can someone tell me how much of a deduction it is if a gymnast does an extra swing on high bar in the level 4 bar routine? For example, gymnast does jump to high bar, Kip, ½ cast (aka extra swing, not going right into the next move), then the real cast to horizontal, bhc, and then the rest of...

    Parents Pullover on metal bar but not wooden bar?

    DD started doing pullovers on the metal bar about a week ago -so it's a very new skill for her. She is doing it properly -chin up and legs over. She's not kicking off the floor for it. She claims that she can't do it on the regular bar because it's too big and her hands slip off. I am...

    WAG Level 5 bar routine

    Anyone want to look at my dd's bar routine and let her know what she can improve upon for states? This routine was done after a 4 week break from gym due to an injury. Thanks!

    Coaches Level 9 bar routine and deductions

    In a USAG level 9 bar routine, if a gymnast performs a squat on, jump to high bar, kip, cast handstand, pirouette, KIP, CAST (under horizontal), bail (or overshoot) what are the total deductions? .03 for the below horizontal cast, but what about additional execution and compositional...

    Parents DIY Floor Bar

    Anyone here ever make one? And, if so, are you willing to share specs with me? Seems a reasonably safe at-home apparatus for conditioning/play don't y'all agree?

    Daisharin Tetsubo-kun Horizontal Bar Gymnast Game

    This looks like a wonderful waste of money....and fun; so I had to get one: You can find other YouTube demonstrations as well. Website is here. I got it cheaper on eBay- $72 with free shipping. Love the natural tap action on it. I'm wondering if it might be a fun teaching tool as well...

    WAG Feeling like I'm going to peel off the bar

    I had grips and I felt like I was going to peel when I would swing. After I actually peeled once and broke my arm I decided it was time for new grips (I could completely straighten my hand with the leather still bent like it would be around the bar) I held off long in the first place because my...

    WAG have you got a video of this bar dismount? What is the value?

    Been to a meet yesterday. I am obsessed with stalders, like, really obsessed. So I saw a dismount of a girl, that I have never seen before! Here is what she did: Starting on Low Bar: Kip – Straddle Cast Handstand – Stalder Handstand – Sole Circle – Jump to High Bar – ½ Turn Kip (so she is...

    WAG Jump to High Bar? jump vs. fall

    I am coming up to my 4th Xcel Silver competition and I had a simplified bar routine but now it is pullover, cast back hip circle, cast squat on, jump to high bar, 3 tap swings, 1/2 turn dismount. I recently got over my jump to high bar mental block, but now when I jump, I just fall to it and...

    Parents Bar Skills

    My daughter already knows Xcel bronze routine even though she competed level 2 in her competition. What are some of the new bar skills for Xcel silver or higher levels that she can begin working on?

    WAG Losing bar skills

    All of a sudden one day, one of my level 4s was unable to kip-cast horizontal. I chalked it up to a bad day because the weeks before she could make 5 in a row on each bar and 5 routines no problem. But now it's been a couple weeks and she still can't get it. Her kips are slower and her casts are...

    WAG other bar dismounts than flyaway? Butt Bounce?

    I was just wondering if there are or maybe you know any different bar dismounts besides the regular under swing (with or without twists) and flyaway (tuck or layout), that are not too hard to learn? Doesn't matter if valuable by JO or not. I like how flyways look, but I sometimes wish there was...
