    Anon Wrist rips

    Hi all, this is anon because a photo is attached. I am wondering if anyone has had any success managing a situation like this? (they are chalky in the photo rather than crusty, just to be clear about that). She has two pairs of DryBands (so always had access to a clean, non chalky pair) and...

    WAG Wrist shift in kip

    Hi I have gotten my kip and lost it multiple times, but now I kinda have it. Some days, I can do it with perfect form and straight arms, but other days, my wrists don’t shift and I get stuck at the top of the bar. Are there any tips or drills for this?

She broke the top of her left radius and ulna in 2019 and over the summer broke her right radius and it required surgery. We went for a checkup and she has gymnast wrist on both sides. The doctor...

    Coaches Bars drills for athlete with injured wrist

    one of my athletes who is training level 6 has been having wrist pain when doing backhand springs, so we are taking a few weeks off of weight bearing on her hands. The only thing she is allowed to do on bars is swings. Today we did: -swings/giants on steel bar -tap swings on HB -flyaway from tap...

    Parents Tiger Paws and wrist pain after bars

    Do you use tiger paws more for support or can you compete in them or both? And how do you help wrist pain with bars? Her connection is getting much better. Now she just needs to connect the squat on with it all but it’s definitely faster! Like no pause. But her wrists are having some soreness...

    Parents Wrist Brace for Beam

    My daughter, training level 7, broke her wrist last spring (in two places). The area near crease of her wrist can still get sore especially as she is upping her reps. She still does some strengthening and exercises but we are looking for a brace to use when on beam for support. She wears tiger...

    WAG Round Off, Should I flick the wrist?

    During the gymnastics round off, should a person "flick the wrist" like they are kind of doing a basketball shot? This is also done with the "shoulder shrug pop" to get a lift from the ground. One of my coaches told me to flick wrist, just curious if this is standard practice? Everyone has...

    Parents Gym types and sore wrists

    Sorry, I have to seperate questions. My 7.5 yr old is on preteam and on track to start Xcel bronze in the spring. She currently attends 4 hrs of gym/Wk and practices maybe 1-2 hrs/week at home. Question 1 is regarding gym types. Admittedly I don't know much about gym but I'm concerned with how...

    Parents Wrist bands/DRYBands question

    My 8yo DD was just moved into her first pair of grips by her coach. Firstly, her pride in this moment is so precious:) Secondly, she finds the terry wrist bands that came with the pair very itchy and uncomfortable. She may get used to them, but she is one of those kids who cuts out tags, is...

    WAG The Wrist Shift-HELP!

    I am 30 years old and compete in the AAU ladies division Xcel Gold/Platinum. I used to do gymnastics as a child, so the skills I am working on are not new...just re-learning. Currently, I do a kip cast handstand for my B requirement, but we are trying to work B circling elements now. I have been...

    WAG Another question about gymnast wrist

    My 10 year old is supposed to do level 8 this season. In another post, I mentioned she was diagnosed with bilateral gymnast wrist. She had a hard cast on one wrist due to a healing stress fracture. We had her follow up and got the cast off. The ortho cleared her to go back to bars. No back...

    My daughter is training level 4 and 10 years old. We've been fighting gymnast wrist since September of last year. The first time she was casted/then braced. She took about 6 weeks off then worked on a slow return to full activity with a physical therapist. Pain returned about 2 months after...

    WAG Wrist pain?

    My 9 year old level 3 came home from practice tonight complaining of wrist pain. She said she was unable to tumble in class. That when her hands hit the floor her left wrist hurt and a tingling went up her arm. This started at last practice apparently but was worse today. Would you rush to the...

    WAG Can a gymnast be successful after gymnast wrist

    My daughter was diagnosed with gymnast wrist. Is this the end of her gymnast career? She is young, only 8. She is training level 7. Looking past the fact that this will take her out of training for 2-3 months, I fear she will not be able to sustain a gymnastics career based on things I have...

    WAG Shifting wrists in free hips?

    Hello, I am struggling so much with my free hips. I get around, but my wrists get caught under the bar because I can’t figure out how to shift. I think that I dont do it enough or maybe at the wrong time. I cant get the hang of it and was wondering if anyone had any tips?
