bar routine

I wanted to post this, to show how hard my baby fought for that high bar kip/long hang kip. The routine is not "clean". She has a pretty funky FHC in it and some form issues. But she fought so so hard for that kip. Although she didn't get credit for it. She doesn't realize that. When I asked her...

I am competing my first Level 9 meet this weekend, and I am wondering what deductions I will get on this bar routine. Bars is my best event, so I really need to perfect it, by fixing even the smalllest deductions. Also, I am studying how to judge, since I am considering becoming a judge, and I...

Dd does not have her giants yet so I have been wondering what her level 7 bar routine might look like, especially when I know her gym prefers they do giants. She came home excited that she now has a routine. Don't ask me the specifics, but it does not include a giant. She spouted it off to me...

My coach has decided to change my routine to an, "Easier, cleaner," routine and I'm wondering if this will affect my scores... I used to have an ok routine with a major release... Now my coach wants the following. Level 10 Kip cast handstand Blind Front Giant Pirouette Bail Handstand Stalder...

Hi everyone! This is my first post in chalkbucket!:p Ok, so I am a level 7 gymnast, first year. I got invited to do some level 7 at the end of last year ( last month of season), but I got very sick and performed poorly at states, so that didn't work out. So, I need to think about my bar routine...

My daughter is 9 years old and a level 5 gymnast. She scores all 9's except bars which is very weak. She has one:confused: bent arm in her kip and cannot seem to connect anything, it starts out bad because she has to correct the bent arm before front hip circle, etc, etc. She also cannot make...

My dd is competing level 6 first time tomorrow with 3 weeks to learn routines :) she looks good excpet when she does her cast on the high bar she is piking a little (like bent at the booty) and she said her coach tells her to pike there but we've watched lots of videos and never see any pikes...

What are some good things to do to improve bar endurance? By the time dd has done her shootever and hiccup to high bar she is already tired and her blind change front giant looks really sloppy, and then her dismount is not as high as it usually is. Her coach has them doing a lot of cardio, but...

Board mount to kip cast horizontal shoot over, kip squat on jump to high bar, kip cast 1/2 turn, kip cast bounce back layout dismount. Would this meet all requirements for a level 9 gymnast? Would it start from a 9.7?

Hey Chalkbucket! I'm competing level 8 for the second time this season, and so far everything is going well... except my bar routine... Despite my extra year of practice, my bar routine has gotten only slightly better. But one thing that is still a problem for me is my clear hip to handstand...

Gymnast gets her Kip (straight arm) and gets the chance at 5P. With the 2011 compulsory season right around the corner we only hope she will impress the judges during the Uneven Bars event. Who knows... this may be a worst case scenario: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtX-Q-X-lT0 or direct...

Here is a video of my 7 year old doing her bar routine during practice. Her first meet is in just 2 1/2 weeks and will be the first time competing Level 7. YouTube - Kyrie, 7, Level 7 bar routine

I've been working on giants for a really long time now, but I don't have them on double bars yet and my first meet is in 2 weeks! So my coach is having me do long hang kip, cast to horizontal, free hip to about horizontal, long hang kip, cast to about 3/4, flyaway. Can someone tell me what my...

Is there a deduction for only doing one giant in the level 7 bar routine?

Hi, there. My question deals with the bars. My daughter wants to start doing giants and other higher level skills. The problem is her coaches. They seem to be holding her and the other HS girls back. I notice they seem to be afraid to try new skills or they are lacking the cofidence to...

I am in level 4 and I had been working all last year to get my single leg shoot thru on the bar. One day I finally got it and way really excited. Then, we didn't practice them all summer because my coach wanted to focus on our skills for the next level (kips, squat ons). Then, when September...

I have a couple of questions about skills that are in the level 5 routine. (bars) I can do my kip on the lower bar with straight arms, but I can't seem to shift my grip. I'll do my kip and I'll get up with straight arms, but I have to take a moment to move my wrists/hands and then continue. I'm...

DD is just loving the L5 bar routine! She came out of practice on Weds night saying she did the whole thing by herself without any help from the coach. Last night I went early to pick her up because she wasn't feeling well after school and I figured "just in case" I should get there early. I saw...
