WAG Xcel gold casts

[Gymnast2009]

In xcel gold, do all my casts have to be above horizontal on bars or can just one. I have to bend my arms to cast high enough and would like to only do that once and then have small straight arm casts.

 

[Coach Kate]

Only one cast needs to be horizontal but you will get up to 0.3 tenths off for the bent arms so I would really continue to work on that. It will also really hinder your progress on bars. Our athletes do shoulder shrugs in front support and shoulder shrugs to immediate 3-5 casts as part of their bar conditioning.
