    If anyone remembers my previous post about a dog, my parents gave in, but said if it is from a breeder, I must help pay. I am fine with that. The breeder has a litter ready to go home november 4th, so that is my time frame to make hopefully $750+. I am 13, so no job, and can’t help at gym until...

    Off Topic Corkscrew hair pins?

    Has anyone used or seen these corkscrew hair pins. Apparently you sort of like screw them into competition buns, and they keep it in place really well. Do they work? Do they hurt? How do you take them out? They look like this.

    WAG Competing low levels

    So I am talking more about DP not really xcel but if anyone wants to chime in on that go ahead. Do you think it is worth it for gyms to compete low levels like 1 and 2. I can see level 3 being competing because they are getting longer routines, and more building block basic skills like round off...

    I’m very close to to my front tuck and I’m landing them in a squat inconsistently onto a mat ground level in the pit, but what are some good drills I can set up, preferably on rod or normal floor, I don’t like doing it on tramp because I over rotate and so I don’t punch as hard and then when I...

    at first i though this was weird, but my coach (retired xcel diamond) played her old music during practice for everyone saying she would love to give it to one of us, and it was a beautiful dramatic piece.
