bars

This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time... What does everyone else think?

My friend had a question about her daughter's start value on bars. She is working jaeger but it's not ready. Current routine is jump to high bar, kip cast to hs, pac, pirouette right into toe hecht, kip cast to handstand, giant giant, full out dismount. I say it's 9.9 They *think* it's 10.0...

Would this have a starting point of a 10.0 for Silver? Kip, cast, back hip circle to undershoot standing dismount?

Hi, Do you think my daughter can compete this on bars. She is silver. Pullover Cast Double Back Hip Circle Cast Squat On Jump To High Bar Tap Swing Kip Cast Back Hip Circle Baby Giant Cast Pike Sole Circle

I was surprised that Sunisa Lee's routine scored higher than Lu Yufei's. Do you think this was right?

Hi all, I just started, thinking of great Romanians on bars like Nadia, Theodora, Silivas and Dobre.... and then I just got short. They have a long line of such of great champions on all events but not really on bars... how many great Romainan can you think of on bars? Who are the best 20...

I figured I would start posting some of drills and systems that we use in the gym as that is what ChalkBucket is all about. ChalkBucket was created in 2005 to help everyone learn more about gymnastics. The cast handstand tower is a great way to practice cast handstands on uneven bars without...

My daughter recently fell on her bars routine during a competition. She got right back up and completed her routine, but I'm afraid the fall will mess with her head. What's the best way I can support her? This is the first time this has happened in a competion.

Hey! Coach here. I have two girls who have been competing Xcel Silver. One has been in this level for 3 years now, and we're all ready for her to move up. Problem is, she is terrified of jumping to the high bar. She will do a squat on and stand on the low bar, but won't jump. I know Golds can...

Does it matter if you do a "squat on" vs a "pike on" at any level? DD is level 7 and a strong bar worker but still does a little squat on. Would that negatively impact her score at all? She seems more comfortable doing this and her coach has never said she has to do anything different. Just...

My daughter keeps landing off the end of the landing mat after her flyaway dismount on bars in competition. Does anyone know what the deduction is for this?

Hi! I’m doing highschool gymnastics and I was wondering if this bars routine met the requirements: kip- cast clear hip, switch kip- cast back hip circle, squat on- jump to high bar, kip cast over shoot. if that doesn’t work what else could I add or change? Also what are high superiors and...

Hi my sister (age 10 level 9) has been told to compete her pak this season. She has trained a perfect pak but can also do a brilliant overshoot. She says overshoot is easier for her to do and she thinks she would get less deductions and an easier routine if she competes that. She has an in-house...

With so much that is not awesome right now, I’d like to imagine for a moment that my kid gets a season, and that she’s a first year level 10. I will lay out a bar routine and would love to know if this is a minimal routine or “up to level.” She (dd) says that it’s the former, but also that it...

So I have noticed that DD usually has her hands closer together on bars ( especially cast handstands and giants). She will often Shift her hands a bit closer together if they feel to her to be too far apart. Hers, I would say, are in line with her hips/shoulders so handstand/giants looks like a...

Hi there - my daughter is a new L9 and I'm working to understand some of the requirements . . . particularly on bars. Its my understanding that Shootover, not from handstand, not to handstand = B Shootover, from handstand, not to handstand = C Shootover to handstand = D Currently my...

So I only watch practice once a month or so for 30 or 40 min at the end so I usually catch bars. My DD is level 5 but they're doing a ton of uptraining level 6 and even 7 right now probably because of the uncertainty of meet season. So she gets to the high bar her coach spots her on a giant, she...

Hello everyone, I thought i would start a thread that is not talking about Covid-19 or sadly banned coaches. So here i am wondering what are typical routines done by 1st year level 10's? I do know that this can vary, i just thought it might be fun to actually talk gymnastics skill right now to...

I just started Xcel Gold and I’ve been using my ginnasta double buckles since... so about 2-3 months. I continuously peel off the bar when going back in my tap swing. It’s super scary and it happens everytime. My coach says it’s because I don’t regrip but I know I do. Also, my grips tend to bend...

What circling elements fulfill the level 6 bar requirements. I have a strong bar worker that for some reason cannot get the shift for a clear hip. She is working giants but will likely not be ready to compete it this season. Is there another option for level 6?
