Pegan piked (Maras). Cassina to Kolman.

Joscelyn Roberson to Georgia

As we expected, after getting a LOT of social media attention for visits to other schools, Joscelyn eventually chose to be reunited with her former club coaches at Georgia.

She should do well with NIL in Athens.

hollow cast handstand?

Most would consider cast handstand in a hollow / stretched position throughout as ideal. Coach Nick Blanton referenced this illustration from Championship Gymnastics.

It’s possible to do that technique. (In fact it’s fairly easy on Parallel Bars as a swing handstand.)

But rare on WAG Bars.

I’m personally a very happy coach if the gymnast can lead with the heels (arch) to horizontal, then change the body position to hollow / stretched.

This is the guy who kicks out of Double Pike.

gymnasts are heavier than they look

When people guesstimate the weight of female College gymnasts, they always guess low. Young women who have been doing Gymnastics for years have dense bones. Muscle is heavier denser than fat.

Fitness blogger and new Mom Kelsey Wells wanted to lose weight after she gave birth to her son. That didn’t happen.
