Hi and welcome to Chalk Bucket :) How are your cast to handstands? think of a straddle cast to Handstand in two parts: -the first part is a cast but getting your bum higher than the rest of your body (like in a straddle on) -the second part can be treated as a press. (this is when your cast is...

i think that coaches shouldn't weigh gymnasts EVER! because muscle weighs more than fat and gymnasts needs lots of carbs and foods like that and if a coach would weigh a gymnast and their weight wasn't up to coaches standards.. well how does he/she not know that most of that is muscle?? And if a...

Hey everybody. I just got home from gymnastics training and WOW!!! that was probably the best training session i have ever had :) Well to start with I was training on floor, and usually i have to strap my knee up as it slips out of place a lot. I actually forgot to take my strapping tape to...

Well.. My best friend was the one who actually taught me my back walkovers at gym! I had that fear as well because i HAD fallen on my head and yeah it hurt but i was alright :) Anyway.. She was doing her normal training and my coach was extremely busy coaching the boys as they had a comp that...

With any jumps i did (especially for beam) i would struggle to get my chest up and jump with my legs. I was told not to swing my body into the jump because i was forgetting to swing my chest back up. So what i did for my back tucks was just swing with your arms, maintaining chest position and...

I am obseesed with my floor music. Not sure how many people know it but its a new song that is in the charts at the moment. It's called "Club Can't Handle Me- Flo Rida" I downloaded the instrumental version and edited it to my liking.

By looking at your split leaps it doesn't seem like your flexibility is up to scratch. i had the same problem a year again. So what my coach told me was that to be able to do an amazing 180degree split leap you need over splits on the ground because our theory is that doing splits on the floor...

I was the same as you, i hated having the same music as a million other gymnasts so i wanted a song no one had used before. My song is club can't handle me by flo rida. All i did was download the instrumental straight from the internet and moved parts of the song that is now my tumbling passes...

Hello everyone. Im new to this site but before I joined i was reading about all the questions and answers and i have just a few to ask for help with: I have been learning kips for around 2 years now and the only thing i KEEP doing wrong is my timing is off by a split of a second, i push my legs...
