At times having a dad who is a coach is great, at other times it's a huge pain because he tells you things that make you think and well, it's easier just being in the dark sometimes about this sport.
DD is getting to spend some time with her dad this week and he's worked with her some in the gym as his own training schedule has allowed. One of the things he did with her today was hanging in Lgrip and doing handstands on a floor bar in Lgrip and he told me that she needs to be doing this as part of her training. He was curious if she had the flexibility naturally to work in lgrip and he says she does and she should be working on it moderately to develop strength in this grip and maintain the flexibilty. He said she wouldn't need it until much higher levels, but by then it would be late. He said not everyone has the natural flexibility to do it and those that do need to be doing it.
Coaches how do you feel about this? Is he right? Is it really that important? Will she really lose the flexibility if she's not using it? And if it's really that important why isn't it being done at gyms already?
