I got a kip but it sucked about two years ago, now I'm training for level 7 possibly 8 next season! It is possible to do it in a small amount of time, I got mine in about 3 months when I had a bicep tendon tear in my knee. Grant I to was doing like 500 a day back then but I worked hard and did...
Are you training the skill for level 7 or for future dismounts? I was just going to say for level 7 I would suggest the back handspring as your flight skill. For me the roundoff was so much scarier than the back handspring! And I feel like the judges will probably be more impressed by the bhs...
It's broken and the ligaments are torn. They said my ligaments are pretty much ruined and that next time it happens (which apparently it will in the next year) I will have to get a surgery where they will tie my ligaments in a knot to tighten them again. Well I'm done gym for four weeks, but I...
I thought my shoulders were to weak to do a cast handstand but really I was sacred. To make myself more comfortable with leaning I would put my feet on the edge of my couch and kind of rock back and forth so my shoulders were behind my hands then shoulders over hands! It really helps! Also I...
I don't have a specific music for you but I do have advice. Do not pick one of the first things that come up on YouTube! Especially that Ariel music I hear that about 10 times in each meet. Also try to pick something that is not just repeating the same notes over and over, honestly it just gets...
Hey guys so I went to the pt and she said if they don't do an X-ray and an MRI she will call them and say u need one. She seems to think I either broke it or tore a ligament. Thanks for the replies I'll keep you updated! :)
Last summer I Broke my ankle and I was in a cast for three weeks with no crutches. It was actually just a fracture and a very bad sprain. There's a lot of info so I'm going to separate it so I don't confuse you!
BEFORE CAST:
My ankle hurt really bad one day while tumbling. I kept going because I...
Haha! That's a little scary! The only problem with my coaches is that all we do for conditioning is press handstands and pike presses. They really have us focused on cast handstands but until we get that we can't go with the other group for strength. I'm trying to condition on my own at home but...
So lately I've realized that you look a lot better as a gymnast when you have easily seen muscle. I have a solid 4 pack but I really want a six pack. The lower part of my abs is definitely the weakest and I was wondering what the best workouts are for that area. Thanks in advance!
So for everybody who read my last post about my flyaway fear when going from a cast I have some great news! I did it tonight! It feels like 200 pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. I am competing bars this weekend! Yay!
Haha sorry accidentally hit post! What I was saying was get the kt for the arches, it comes with great directions. Also you can leave it on for a few days and shower with it! Hope I could help! :)
I have the same exact problem except that if you painted the bottom of my foot the whole footprint would show up. In other words I have no arch at all. This actually caused me to break my ankle over the summer and that's when the doctor started taking about ankle support. Every day I have to...
Hi everybody I am a level six gymnast and I usually do very well at meets. That is until about last week, when my old fear of a flyaway came back. I used to completely not do it, then I got it! I had to compete the cast flyaway so I got that about two months ago, the I got scared again! I have a...
