    WAG Arm strength

    The morning after practice, my body parts usually have a conversation that goes like this: Brain: so how are we all feeling this morning? Legs: pretty good, not that sore at all, feeling pretty nice and just a bit tired. Brain: good to hear, how about you, abs? Abs: also doing well, only...

    T&T Back Handspring Bent Arms - Technique or strength?

    Hi DD has been trying to get her BHS working right for about a year now, but still struggles with bent arms on landing. She can do it fine with spotting and on the trampoline or mattress, and she tends to be able to do it better after a roundoff rather than standing, so I'm not sure if it's...

    Hi, My son has been going to gymnastics classes since he was 18months. This summer he was picked to train for a place in the team. He broke his arm 5 weeks before training started and was in a cast of just over 3 weeks. His instructor has told me he is behind his peers due to a lack of strength...

    Parents How to apply upper body strength to handsprings?

    My daughter seems to have great upper body strength--she happily does tons of pull-ups, flies up the climbing rope all the way to the ceiling, can rock climb using only her arms as her body just hangs, bar is her best event with early/easy pullovers, etc. Yet when she goes to do a handspring her...

    Parents Is strength a deal breaker?

    Hello! I've really appreciated all the insight I've gotten from these forums as a fairly new parent to the sport. My daughter is almost 6 and is on a pre comp team (4 hrs/week). She is crazy flexible but has always struggled with upper body strength (I blame my genes). Took her longer than the...

    Parents Strength and flexibility ideas for home

    My gymmie has nearly all of her skills for Level 3 (she can do the entire bar routine, back handspring (but it needs work)) but is being held back (repeating L2) because the coach said she needs more upper body strength and flexibility. What are some good conditioning moves to strengthen her...
