DD had last week off of gym while the gym prepared for summer classes & had their team pictures and banquet. At her last strength test she had a vertical jump of 5in, 0 leg lifts, no splits (R or L) - she was about 2-3in off the ground, a 21 sec hollow hold, and a 27 sec arch hold.
The did their beginning of the session strength testing last night and DD increased her vertical jump by 1.5in, her hollow hold to 1.5 min, and her arch hold to 43 sec!! But that isn't even what impresses me the most. As of 2 weeks ago (her last week before the break) she still could not do any leg lifts and had her splits a few inches off the ground. Last night she not only did both R & L leg splits all the way down, but did it with her leg elevated on a panel mat (1/2 unfolded)!!! And then she proceded to do 2.5 leg lifts!!!!
I stood in the parents area stunned. Where did this kid come from??
