    WAG Hand and arm placement in BHS

    I am an adult athlete in my mid-30s who competes NAIGC dev. I've been out of the gym for the last year for a variety of reasons, I miss it desperately, and I am trying to organize myself for when I go back. As an adult athlete, practice is adult open gym and my coach is whoever is coaching...

    WAG Gym Insurance and Adult Gymnastics

    Hi everyone, I'm part of an adult team that competes NAIGC. We aren't college--we're associated with a local club and mostly in our 30s and 40s. Our gym recently notified us that they may be losing their insurance for their adult classes, which means both the adult class and our adult team...

    WAG Visualizations

    A question for athletes/former athletes about themselves and parent/coaches about their gymnasts: When you visualize yourself doing a routine or a skill, do you do it from first or third person? Are there skills you can't visualize, or can't visualize from certain angles or perspectives? Does...

    WAG Vault Table Fears

    I grew up vaulting on the old horse (not particularly well, admittedly, but basically competent), but that was 20 years ago. I never actually competed as a child and I completely missed the transition from the horse to the table. I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting to the table. It's an issue...

    WAG A Beam Dismounts

    I'm an adult gymnast who's going to be competing NAIGC level 6 this year--it's my first time ever competing in any sport, let alone gymnastics. The program at my gym is very self-guided and self-coached, which includes coming up with routine compositions. I've been scouring YouTube on beam...

    WAG Nausea When Stretching?

    I've been having an issue when stretching middle splits and sometimes hamstrings recently. I feel the stretches where I'm supposed to feel them, but I also feel...it's not quite pain. More like tendrils of uncomfortableness in my lower back and glutes--an unpleasant sensation, but pain isn't the...

    WAG Gymnastics in Korea?

    This is probably a little out there, but maybe someone has some idea? I recently moved to Korea, and I'm looking to learn a little more about the possibility of gymnastics here. Does anyone know anything about gymnastics in Korea? I'm also trying to learn the event names in Korean for a...

    WAG Grips Bunching Up

    I take an adult gymnastics class, which is only offered for an hour a week--not enough time to build up calluses for bars. I quickly found that I rip very easily when practicing swinging skills, getting 4 or 5 rips in a matter of minutes. My coach initially recommended tape grips, which worked...

    ROBHS Fear

    Could anyone offer any advice for overcoming a fear of ROBHS on floor? I was doing them just fine for a few months, and then I just started balking. I didn't fall or hurt myself, I just got scared. I can do them without a problem as long as there is any kind of mat there. I spent most of...
