high bar

Ok so I finally have gotten my low bar kip a lot better and can connect it into my bar routine so now i am working more on high bar kips, but i am having so much trouble. I have done two long hang kips in my life (one at summer camp, and one around december) but now i seem to be back to square...

My daughter is a prep 3 gymnast in tn, she has always had a fear of jumping to the high bar. She worked through with stacking mats and was doing very well, she won gold in state meet at the end of last year on bars in her age division. She has no problems with a smaller bar setting, great kip...

Brand new to the forum, so I thought I'd dive right in. My 11-year old joined his first competitive gymnastics group last summer. Last weekend he attended the third meet of his life. We came away with that wonderful feeling of a job well done, but being new as we are, we also came away with...

This is very much a guy-question - but whenever I practice hip circles on the horizontal bar I have a big problem of getting my family jewells crunched on the way over. Are there any guys here that know how to avoid this? Thanks in advance, PhoenixFlex

i just changed my bar routine, i am now doing an uprise into a free hip circle on the high bar, which is causing some problems. a lot of times i kick my feet in my uprise, which may seem obvious but it's kind of strange because i kick my feet way after i need any more momentum to finish the...

I have one level 5 boy who is having a lot of trouble with the high start at the beginning of the routine. Anybody have any good drills?

I think part of my dd problem is how she jumps to the high bar. She jumps very arched. Her chest is probably the first thing to pass under the high bar. Should she be hollow when she jumps? Anyt tips on how to help her?

Hello, Does anyone know if L5 HB will have a flyaway dismount as a bonus? Last season I saw some boys doing it...However it was not on the required skill list..or bonus list...(as far as I know) What happens if boys do it anyway without it listed on the compulsory routine?? deduction? thanks J

My DD is really good on bars. They're her favorite event and she places 1st in almost every meet (including state). But, she's just moved up to AAU L4 and had her first big fall. She recently started wearing grips (the coach introduced them for the whole team) and has had some trouble feeling...

My DD is really good on bars. They're her favorite event and she places 1st in almost every meet (including state). But, she's just moved up to L4 and had her first big fall. She recently started wearing grips and has had some trouble feeling comfortable with them. During practice last week...

My DD is having the same problem... she's 9. She just finished "Novice"... we did not compete compulsary. She placed 4th in our State Meet a few weeks ago and did her jump to the high bar on the Novice setting. Our gym is going to a mobility meet so our girls can compete the Level 5 compulsary...

In the current COP men get connection points for ''In-Bar elements + Flight elements'' ...one would interpret this then as Group III + Group II connected or vice versa... why then are gymnasts receiving the connection bonus for doing a 'Stoop in shoot and 1/2 t. thr hdst. in ovgr.' Group IV box...

Wanted to know any feelings on wearing high bar grips for rings. I have known many gymnasts in the past who have worn them on rings, many of whom swung very well. Any comments? Obviously the dowel would be smaller, but I did lock arms in small dowel ring grips quite comfortably...

Anybody have any good drills for a markelov?
