Hey guys, I am looking for a video of a person performing a straddle press from straddle L with as little lean as possible. I have not been training for a few months now as I was really busy, but I can still press up from straddle L and lower down controlled, which really surprised me. When I...

Anyone here who is a ballet dancer or has really good knowledge of the Vaganova Style? If so, I would have a really important question. Thanks

I have a question that is not too relevant for any JO Level, but I think it is a basic thing I was always interested in. Everyone knows that the more split the legs, the more beautiful walkovers and kickovers look and the better is the technique. However, some kids seem just not built for...

Ok, I just wrote a very long text explaining the whole situation but I will just make it simpler and ask the question right away. There is a dancer, focusing on floor acrobatics (walkovers, handsprings, handstands) with good gymnastics technique. Workout is 5 days a week, 2 hrs a day including...

What do they rely on? More technique or leg strength/explosiveness? I always thought you need a crazy amount of quad power for those aerial skills. But on team we have incredibly strong little girls, they do standing back pikes with ease, but have such a hard time getting their aerials. I made...

We got a new gymnast and she has a slipped disc (probably from too many walkovers). We completely limit all arching. Now I want to give her extra core conditioning for making her core and back really strong. I think that V-Ups work too much hip flexors, so I thought about hollow rock+reverse...

I was wondering why we still keep doing tons of hollow rocks and holds and stuff and not progress to something harder, more intense? Of course I know, it is super important for shaping. Constantly reminding them of the right shapes etc. But shapes can and should be emphasised doing all of the...

I have a few questions about conditioning. What do you do for pushing strength? You can do Push Ups, Dips and Handstand Push Ups. Do you work all 3? Does one relate to the other? What duo you do for back strength? Do you work weighted Reverse Sit-Ups and Leg Lifts? Or only arch rocks? Thanks!

Dear Parents, Coaches, Gymnast etc. First of all - HAPPY NEW YEAR! I have a short question. My daughter is training L7, she actually has all of her skills, just needs to get more consistent. She goes 15 hours a week. Mo-Fri, 3 hours at a time. Well, in her free time she likes to do pretty...
