There have been a number of posts over the past couple years on needing help on bars. I also notice at DD's gym that bars seem to be the lowest scoring apparatus and the one to hold girls back. What is it about bars that makes it more of a struggle than the other events? Bars is actually my DDs best event (she just learned cast to handstand in a matter of hours), but I wouldn't say she has a typical gymnast body (she's got so-so shoulder flexibility but great strength). It just seems strange when I see girls where floor and beam seems to come so easily, yet they struggle on bars. Is there a general pattern for most girls on best/worst apparatus as they progress through the levels (e.g. if you do well on floor at L4/5 does that continue)? I know there's no right answer -- just curious.
