strength

Hi, i was wondering what muscles i need to strengthen to get my pullover? and what i should do to strengthen them ect. ? thanks :)

Any good exercises for wrist strengthening? Either at the gym or at home exercises would be great.

Ok well this year my old coach allowed me to compete bars with pullover that i stepped into if that makes sense my new coach won't let me compete bars unless i can do a chin up pullover what strength exercises can i do other than chin ups? They can't use a bar because i don't have access to...

Over the summer, I hurt my back. I couldn't do gym for a month in a half.I couldn't do much of anything, so I did very basic conditioning. So when I had my first practice since I hurt my back today, I realized bars was very hard for me. I just moved up to level 5 so we did a lot of kips and...

Ok well in gymnastics right now i am in a recreation class called Advanced which is the highest rec. class you can go to before you go onto pre-team or level 4.And i've been on Advanced for quite some time now!Maybe about 4 or 5 sessions and i'm starting to get to a point where no ones said...

I would love to hear everyone's opinions on what they feel are the 10 strength, shaping, or flexibility items no gymnastics workout should be without. I don't mean general stretch warmup though. Who's first?

how long do think it will take to notice results in strength if you do this three daays from doing - 5 sets of 5 chinups - 5 sets of 5 leg lights - 2 sets of 1 tuck holds for 1 minutes each - 2 sets of 5 hollow body tuck ups - 4 sets of 1 hollow body pushup hold for 30 seconds each - 55...

I need to improve on my arm & core strength. :o

what are some good conditioning exercises to gain shoulder strength.?

I got my kip like 5 months ago and they are STILL giving me crap! When I make them my arms are usually straight, but I have so much trouble making them. I hardly ever make my high bar and my low bar is somewhat consistent some days and not at all on others. I've been working really hard trying...

I was only able to take Gymnastics for 1 year while I was away at college (the disadvantages of living in a small town with no gym) and had to leave because I no longer wanted to be in that college course. Anyways, I need to gain strength in my arms (and legs too but mostly arms). I just want...

I've seen a lot of Elites who do some strength move or press to handstand on beam. I'm noticing it more at Levels 9-10. Is this something we should think about adding to beam routine at Level 9? My personal feeling is that judges want to see gymnasts do some strength move and seem to reward...

Hello all, DD's sports med doc and PT gave her the okay to do tumble, do bars and beam yesterday. Today was her first time back on bars even though she's been conditioning every gym day since December 10th when she broke her wrist. Obvioulsy hasn't done bars since that date though. Today...

Is it best to Strength train the same thing every day for a certain period of time, or to change what you're doing every day? Why? Thanks.

Hello - I am new to the Chalk Bucket. My daughter started gymnastics a year ago and went from beginner, advanced, pre-team, to team all within one year. She is 8 years old. She trains 10 hours a week and LOVES it! Even training 10 hours a week my daughter is never sore. I feel her club does...

I have a 5yo boy in a 'boys beginner' class at our local gym. They are learning extremely basic MAG skills. He is the smallest in his class, but has good focus and gives it a great effort. He wants to "get stronger and more stretchy." Forgive my vocabulary, I come from ballet and...

I took my son to physiotherapist yesterday after about six weeks of increasing knee pain (which started after a basketball game). She has advised that his outside leg muscle is stronger than his inside leg muscle and to rest. Appears his kneecap is not sitting central on his knee because of...
