Gymnasts (20)

The first of the weekend bonus posts this week brings you more gymnasts, starting with young Egor practising his double back dismounts from the rings...


 ...and then showing off some more training skills...


And then some more hard training for the shoulders (for the iron cross on rings, by the way)...

    How the heck do you get tan lines like #9's?

    Excellent question!! It could be weird lighting in the gym, but we think it is chalk and that he's been rubbing (admiring?) his own chest and biceps!!

    I know that you miss coaching -- at least on some level.

      I recognise your 'name' but can't think why. How do you know we are missing coaching so much?

Is It 'Goodbye Younglifter.com'? (2023/352)

One month ago, the superb 'body image' site younglifter.com suddenly disappeared. It was a great site, known to afficionados as the 'green pages' and run by a guy in Chicago, Corin M. Hugely popular, and suddenly gone. Does anyone know why, or whether it has re-appeared under a new name? Meanwhile, here is our tribute to those 'young lifters' (and some not so young now!) - keep up the good work in your gyms, guys!   Yep - use whatever you have to hand!!

A bit of specific training: Finally, a bit more gymnast fun stuff to finish - and this one doesn't go wrong!
