Urban Gymnastics at Camp
For 2013 — with the help of Parkour experts from Gym Extreme — we added some Urban Gymnastics cross training for the guys and girls at Adlard’s annual High Performance Training Camp.

Luke Wiwatowski on the Aussie Men
The Australian National Team member speaks his mind:
Nationals has concluded and there are a few things to take away from the competition. Firstly this is a building year for all the athletes and we are taking a different approach to previous cycles in this quadrennial. Our focus is in difficulty building first and concentrating on cleaning and polishing our routines later in the cycle. the results may look disheartening at this competition and many will say perhaps this is the wrong strategy. …
For the last couple of years the Australian Men’s Team has consistently come between 16th and 19th at various World Championships. We’ve held a strategy for a long time of simply concentrating on clean routines with little difficulty and for the most part have been resting on our laurels for way too long with the standard of gymnastics changing around us. If we pursue this alternate strategy then whether we succeed or fail at least I can safely say we gave a red hot go at dislodging the status quo. I can also fairly safely say we have little to lose and possibly much to gain. …

using sliders for pirouette
John Smith from NASA has a list of 52 exercises using furniture moving sliders to physically prepare Artistic gymnasts.
Here’s a good one. Handstand on one slider, spot pirouette. Then full pirouette. Gymnast tries to torque with the hands.
