    Parents Update on the Giant!

    I don't know if you all remember my dd's story. She has always struggled on bars. Competed l7 last year and our gym required a giant. She scratched the first few meets and then came up with a baby giant/bad form giant. Basically, she found a way to get herself around the bar, but developed...

    Introducing el-grip giants (also: alternative skills)

    Men Prepping p-bars for giant swings

    What's the best way to improve the grip on a pair of p-bars to prepare for giant swings? I know there are a lot of different formulas out there (water, honey, syrup, magic voodoo dance, whatever) to allow kids to better grip the bars, but I never worked anything harder than a moy to upper-arm on...

    Parents Working on her giant

    My dd has been working on her giant for a long time. She finally did one by herself (without a spot) two weeks ago, but then was not allowed to try again by herself until yesterday. She did it again by herself after several tries. I'm so worried she is going to lose it, though, because she...

    Coming off the bar on giants?

    So the other day I was doing giants on a single bar, and I went to regrip and, I dont know how it happened, I let go! My coach said that I had kind of stopped and tried to regrip but let go instead and then did some sort of weird flyway! Does anyone know of someone who has done this?

    Giant Flyaway

    On bars, i am having fear issues on connecting my giants to a flyaway. I will do a good flyaway timer, but when my coach tells me to flip, I just won't let go! It is really frustrating because I know I can do it, it just seems as if my body won't cooperate. Another girl on my team who started...

    Giant

    My grand daughter seems to be struggling with her giants. She does fine over the pit with a spot (even when the spot is not touching her) but has a fear of doing it on the actual parallel bars for fear of hitting her foot/feet on the lower bar. How can she overcome this fear? Is this a common...
