Thank You very much for your reply, I really like the wall drill. I didn't want the post to get too long, that's why I didn't tell the whole situation from the beginning, but I feel I need to now to get the best answers. I had coached many recreational and low level gymnast and I do know many...

So you would practice Tick-Tocs on both sides?

I have a skill specific question and hope someone can help. I a press handstand I always thought two things are especially essential 1. shoulder/trap strength 2. hip flexor strength However, I noticed lately that the most important part is the ability to press, meaning strong shoulders/traps...

Thank you! Down a wedge from stand or sitting? I never tried it on a wedge. I can do a bent arm one from sitting and a straight arm from sit to push-ups. I cant do them from stand. I just don't get how to keep and transfer my speed from sitting down to handstand. And can you tell me why it is...

Hello! I hope you can help me here, I am really frustrated! Since I can imagine, I didn't like speed and it's still the same today. I have perfect standing tucks on beam, but I just hate FH vault! So my question is actually about back extension rolls. When we started learning the bent ones...

Thanks again for your great reply. All my questions are answered now :)

Thank you! By multiple straddle presses you mean standing straddle presses, right?! Which angle should a stalder be? 90°? I think it is easier to have a wider hyperextended pancake than a one that is narrower! But in a 90° angle I sill have 8 inches overstretch so I guess it is ok!

Thank you, this helps A LOT!!!! May I ask you two more question? Would it be a lot beneficial to have more than one press handstand or is one enough? Could you tell me the strength and flexibility requirements you use? I can do about 10 leg lifts on stall bars and I have a hyperextended...

1) Do you need a press handstand from a sitting position to do a stalder? Or will it help? I have a very good press handstand, but only one and not two or more in a row! 2) Do you think stalders are harder than free hips? I kind of find the drills for stalder ways better and easier than for...

So true!!! I am the strongest on my team. When we were introduced kips some years ago and layouts, I was the first one to get it and also had the prettiest form, because I condition so much! Thank you!

Hello Aussie_Coach! Thank you so much for your nice answer. She was very happy to hear that (and me too!). How often would you say should she work on the exercises? 3-4 times a week? So every other day?

Hey guys! I am asking this for my best friend. She wants to get stronger to do better at gymnastics. Additionally to our regular gymnastics training, which is 3 times a week 3 hours each, we condiotion at home 3 training-free days of the week. Libby (my friend) wants to double or triple her...

Thank you very much! I appreciate everyone's opinion! Oh god, these L10 kids are amazing! Are they even human? This is just unbelievable!!! I know that everyone is different and nobody can tell a specific time frame - so it's kinda stupid to ask that. But I really worked my butt of to get to...
