As I mentioned in another thread, my boy will probably be moving up from L4 to L5 or maybe even L6 pretty soon. All in all, I think he's ready. This weekend at home, he actually made it all the way through the L6 mushroom routine.
My concern is for his handstand. Never been a strong point for him, and I'm not quite sure why. He seems to have the strength (maybe not enough?), and he can certainly assume the pose for a couple of seconds, but he's nowhere close to pressing into it, and he can't hold it once he gets there.
Not being totally confident that he will get sufficient guidance at the gym, I'll ask you coaches and gymnasts alike, what are some good home exercises that he could be doing? We have a floor, walls, a set of paralletes, and a dad who is willing to lend a hand.
