platinum

In USAG platinum, do you have to actually land the vault or do you do a timer like the level 6 vault? Asking because in most YouTube videos, gymnasts are actually landing vaults but I've only been doing mine up to a mat stack...

what is the difference between a 1/4 on 1/4 and a 1/2 on 1/2 off?? i feel like they are so similar yet they give different start values so how do i know i’m actually doing the 1/2 on 1/2 off correctly??

Hi, could i get some tips for platinum bars? I am working on clear hips and I am doing everything decently (at least i think) except i always have to tap my feet coming out of it to connect my kip. I have no clue how to fix it!! I can sometimes not tap my feet but only when my coach spots the...

Beam: BHS, full turn, split jump wolf jump, hand stand back tuck off beam Vault: FHS full twist Floor: ROBHS lay , FHS front tuck, switch leap wolf jump, full turn Bars: Kip, clear hip, squat on to high bar, cast layout flyaway

Can a gymnast preform a standing back tuck off the beam as a dismount in xcel platinum? Will it count?

Hi, Do you have to do a switch leap in platinum or can you do a split leap? Thanks!

hi! so i competed gold for 2 years in a row-i was trying to do platinum last year but i got so overwhelmed with the jump that i psyched myself out and could never do half the skills. here is what i’m doing all the time in practice now, do you think i’ll be able to do platinum this year? Vault...

What vaults are available for xcel platinum? Some girls can technically flip tsuks and possibly yurchenkos but that’s apparently not aloud right? We are working on front handspring and full twist.

So many people in my gym are doing platinum bars without a B skill and I'm confused why my coaches haven't said anything about the b skill the routine goes something like this Kip - Squat on - high bar kip - back hip circle - undershoot from highbar This seems like a gold routine to me so would...

Please let me know if the following starts off with a 10.0 SV for USAG Xcel Platinum Floor: round off back tuck, front handspring front tuck, split leap + tuck jump, full turn (I can also swap split leap with switch leap or full turn with a 1.5 turn if needed) Beam: round off, leap + split...

Could you please let me know if these routines meet the requirements for xcel platinum and if not could you let me know what the start value would be! Vault: 1/4 on 1/4 off OR COULD SHE DO TSUK ENTRY ONTO MAT STACK? (like the level 6/7 vault) Bars: Kip cast back hip circle, squat on, toe...

Hey! Can you help me choose between AAU and USAG platinum? I don't know what I should consider in deciding between the two. If it matters, I'm older than the average gymnast in these levels.

So last season I competed Gold for a second time, and I'm pretty hopeful that I will be able to go to Platinum this year. I'm pretty close to having all my skills, most of my newer skills that I got for Platinum do need to be cleaned up a little, but I can do them pretty decently, I think. I...

Hi everyone! So this is something my coaches and I have been thinking about for a while and whether I should be in Gold or Platinum. I competed Silver last year and before you say that it's not possible to skip a level I'm pretty sure I could score out of gold or something similar. I have had...

Hi! I'm on vacation and would like to maintain my strength. What conditioning exercises can I do? (I don't have any equipment)

i want to do platinum next year but I'm not quite sure what the requirements are. i heard it needs to have a flight dismount for beam dismounts, so is it ok if I do a branny? i don't have a backtuck off and my front tuck-off is inconsistent. for floor what do I need? i probably need a flight...

Hi! I am leaving 8th grade and heading to high school. Last year, I competed level 7 with four practices a week adding up to 11 hours in the gym. That worked perfectly well for me, and I would be moving up. However, practice would be five days a week adding up to 15 hours in the gym and no...

Is a back handspring necessary for platinum/diamond level (mainly on floor, but also beam/vault)? I've been doing round off back tucks and always have trouble generating power from back handsprings... but one of my floor coaches told me that back handspring is very necessary for higher level...

Do you feel that there is a big jump in scoring requirements from xcel gold to xcel platinum? If one struggled with the jump from silver to gold but then scored well when repeating gold, would you expect a similar struggle when moving from gold to platinum?
