    WAG To do tops training or not

    WAG Unable to pike ..training level 8

    My 9 year old is currently training level 7 and also working level 8 skills. Coach recently had a talk with me that DD will not be able to go any further with level 8 skills because she is unable to touch her toes. Dd has always struggled with flexibility she only got her good leg split about a...

    WAG Using Technology in Training

    Any thoughts on whether tech tools such as "coaches' eye" or instant replay system are useful in training? Doesn't seem like many gyms have these systems in use. Does your gym routinely make use of technology for training? how about remote coaching with sending videos to more experienced...

    WAG "Training" a level vs. being in a level...

    So since DD is a brand new level 3 as of the beginning of summer, I guess I don't really understand why some people say "my DD is training level X", or "she's a level X". What's the difference? If you're "training" with the level 4s, does that mean come meet season you will compete with them...

    Summer Training

    I'm new to this site and the artistic world (power tumbling was my thing) so I hope someone can give me some advice. Our club closes down for 4 weeks over the summer which seems like a long time. My DD struggles with being sore and lost moves when she returns in August. Should I put her into a...

    Parents Training equipment suggestions

    Hello all, For summer training, DDs gym has sent us a list of items they will need. Ankle weights are on there as well as therabands....does anyone have suggestions on the best type to get/where to get them? (My DD is 7 if that matters for size). The only other thing on there I need help...

    Parents Ankle weights during beam training?

    So I watched practice for the first time in a month, and I noticed that DD and her teammates are wearing ankle weights during beam practice now. DD is 8, and a L2 moving up to L3. I am concerned about long-term injuries due to extra wear-and-tear and curious about the use of the weights. For...

    MAG Help me explain why gym takes so much time training, please! (long)

    So my son is currently L4 and trains just 4 hours a week (once he's back at the gym!). I've already been told by the coach that he will move up to L5 for fall, and they train 6 hours (2 hours x 3 days). As you all know already, that's a pretty low amount compared to other places, and it all fits...

    WAG Does your gymnast do any kind of additional training outside of the gym?

    Just curious to learn if anybody has additional training for their gymnast outside of the gym. By additional training I do not mean privates with any of their coaches in the gym, but rather training that takes place outside of the gym such as additional private gymnastics training, conditioning...

    WAG Cardio training question

    My L8 daughter recently switched to a new gym and while she is great physical condition, she is really struggling with their cardiovascular workout. Her old gym used running as part of their warm up but sustained cardiovascular activity wasn't a big part of their workout. At the new gym, it...

    Coaches Mid-Season Training

    A very successful first ever meet in January combined routines that are "easy" and "boring" have left my girls feeling a bit complacent in the gym, especially when it comes to routine work. Of course there are places they can improve, and I've had talks with them about how there is always...

    Parents Excessive injuries in gym - comes with the territory or issues with training?

    Lately there seems to be a significant amount of injuries in our gym due to overuse/overtraining. This is mostly levels 8 and up. Do you think it is just par for the course or could there be some incorrect training in either/or technique and conditioning? We are a very large, competitive...

    WAG Is your daughter training for the Olympics?

    I posted something on Facebook about dd's first meet of the season last weekend. One mom I know asked this question. I started writing and I think my response came out pretty nice so I wanted to share. I wanted to hear what other people say when they get asked the same thing? "Thanks for the...

    WAG How long does it take for strength training to show results on bars?

    My DD is fairly weak on bars as a L5. She recently changed gyms and they do the TOPS conditioning program, which is much more intense than her previous conditioning. How many weeks of that conditioning will pass before it really starts to show on bars?

    T&T eyewear and training

    So currently I wear contacts during practice/competition, and glasses the rest of the time. however, my contacts have a habit of slipping during routines, and I really hate wearing them to begin with. I find them uncomfortable. I have been looking at the possibility of lasik, but that would...

    US men's podium training today!

    I think we're probably safe in assuming Donnell Whittenburg is the first all arounder. Who will the US put up as the second? I could imagine making an argument for Naddour (hi bar issues), Leyva (consistency), or even jumping Marvin Kimble from alternate to all arounder, figuring the experience...
