The up onto the panel matt back-handsprings are extremely helpful for gaining height and fixing bent arms... also about the coaches.. that seems to be a problem.
We do conditioning at the gym for around an hour to 40 minutes.. But we also do conditioning during events. Yes I do conditioning at home. My coach gave us a Geddart's Twistars conditioning sheet which is very helpful in conditioning at home. And lastly, no we do not HAVE to do conditioning...
I am almost scared for life.. had a 10:00 meet in Chicago and we all went down to breakfast and I ate to much and bars was not fun for me... anyways. In morning meets I usually get a protein shake and that's all I can really eat. In afternoon meets, I eat lunch
