I have taken Bog's suggestion and started a new thread . There has been some discussion on schedules and how many hours gymnasts train and there has been a wide variety in the amount of hours. I am guessing that there is no set magic number of how many training hours is "best" because each individual gymnast is different and learns differently. Some need a lot of repetition and learn better when they are in the gym a lot, and others can make corrections quickly and hold those corrections in their head during the next practice and apply them at the next practice with many days off inbetween. Any other thoughts?
