That is so interesting, never heard it form that point of view. Do you think a press handstand is a very important skill in gymnastics? Or are things like push-ups and pull-ups and leg lifts more important? Basically, do you think it would be possible to be a good gymnast with only training...

Did you see the one with the ice bath? We all know that gymnastics is a crazy sport and requires a lot, like any other sport. But why film it? AND PUT IT ONLINE?

Ohh, thank you very much!!!!

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE REPLIES!!! Helped so much

Oh thank you so much!!! That helped tremendously.

One of my girls on team wants to quit gym due to various reasons. She wanted to quit many times already but now I think time has come. She wants to transition into another sport. I suggested track or climbing but she wants something "elegant". She considered dancing but would like figure skating...

@tomtnt Oh so funny that you saw them. Both girls competed at the meet. I have never talked to them only seen them but they seem really nice and not over the top at all. Girls have good manners. But they are only "that rich" for a while now so mate it will come...

I started watching their very first videos years back. The mom (Katie) was uploading videos from her daughter Annie starting gymnastics at age 2. Now Annie is 10 and a L7 training 8. Her sister Hailey is 7 and had her first meet yesterday at age 7. As already said, their brother Caleb (13)...

Yep, from Romania! It is Andreea Iridon, she is a really good gymnast now! At that time she was 12

I know, of course I see her resting on herm bent arms and pressing up with slightly bent arms as well which makes this move a lot easier and it would not count in TOPS etc. But still, I even know anybody doing more than 30 presses from a standing position, so this is pretty impressive in my...

Amazing job by little Andreea Iridon! UNBELIEVABLE PS: If someone here has any thoughts or info how this is even possible - please share!!! How is it possible that a human can THIS? I mean, a lot of training and good body shape (height, weight, levers) all help, but I am sure she didn't...

Thought this is a must see here! :eek::eek::eek:

Our girls do some pirouettes on floor rail, handstand holds or some straddle ups while waiting on bars, while on vault they do blocking drills etc. But I do think it is not good - especially at lower levels - to wear them completely out with leg lifts before training kip cast hands...

Yes, true.... practice makes perfect! Do you have them work pike presses and V Presses too? I know some gyms who really train for Pike Press and V-Sit and Straddle V-Sit, not only boys but girls also and I know gyms who do not even introduce them because it is simply not needed in WAG

Such an interesting topic! Really liked reading all the answers. I wanted to ask something anyways so thought I would just reply here. Many of you said the kids do not get any break during practice. (At my gym there is no break also, only during summer when practice is 3 hours in the morning...

Yes, my girls are looking almost like Maggie :) Thanks for sharing and your answers!

Maybe I can get some help here. I have some questions because I coach a girls group and don't have any deeper knowledge about that. There are a ton of videos out there about how to get a straddle press but not how to train for more or even 10 in a row! 1) How do you increase your reps in...

We have: 1) V-Hang 2) The action is called from V-Hang to straight body=kip extension 3) Inverted Hand 4) Front Support 5)Running Kip 6)Kipping Action (pulling down with your arms pulling feet up)

Front tuck vs. Side Aerial What would you think is easier/faster to learn/safer on beam? Does it depend on the kid? Any infos appreciated

Just a few days ago there was a thread about if kids on vacation should work out or not. So now I have a pretty interesting question and I am curious about your opinions. Would you say it is worse to not practice the skills or to not do any conditioning/stretching? If a gymnast quits gym, but...
