As the father of a D1 female gymnast, I can say that while the training is extensive, so are injuries and fatigue. There is no off season for gymnasts and overtraining is built into the culture. Particularly among girls, they will hide their injuries so they don’t get pulled or disappoint a coach. They can also over develop certain muscle groups if they are not careful. For example, one of my daughters injuries was a mild hyperextended knee injury on floor. During rehab, the docs said this was because her quads were overdeveloped and gave her a bunch of hamstring exercises for balance. So, gymnasts bodies look great, but it comes at a cost. Very few make it to college mainly due to injuries over time.

I guess most people don't know about still rings, that build incredible strength! Static skills that require immense brute strength

@MrBeckenhimself 2 года назад

My grandpa was a gymnast in his youth. (rings) Not a pro, but a gymnast no less. He had a great physique especially shoulder, back and arms.

‘team 3D alphas’ Nucleus overload explains this pretty well

@alex20na 2 года назад

Yes, but their method is more like greasing the groove....like he said in the video "They don't train until fatigue". I think greasing the groove and nucleus overload kinda go hand in hand to some extent.

Common sense answer in a nutshell: 1.) They started VERY young. 2.) They have been doing it for a VERY long time. Put those two together with good and consistent execution and it really shouldn't come as a surprise. Genetics play a role of course but not to the degree of good old fashioned hard work over many MANY years.

Gymnasts place their segments in particularly weak positions from a mechanical point of view (leverage), which requires extraordinary, long-term training in order to generate and create strength in these positions. Iron cross is the simplest example, you only need to look to understand the experience required to generate strength in this position. It's one of the few sports where you can become strong in any weak position. Anyone who train gymnastics or calisthenicson rings (high level/elite level) probably laughed a few times after reading How to become a Supple Leopard from K.Starrett and his famous "external rotationate everything to create force"

@VegasMoe 2 года назад

You need to remember that Gymnasts are really "Anaerobic Athletes". We are trained for 3 seconds up to just slightly over a minute. Vault takes 3 seconds. All the other events, Men's and Women's, include Pommel Horse, Rings, Parallel Bars, Horizontal Bar, Balance Beam, Uneven Parallel Bars have routines that are 50-70 seconds. Therefore this is NOT an aerobic sport, it's all ANAEROBIC. We very rarely do skills past 70 seconds.

Gymnasts do not rest. Overtraining is part of the culture, nearly 6+ hour workouts 6-7 days a week. Conditioning through incredibly painful DOMS.

I think this guy's confused ballet with gymnastics? When was it frowned upon for a young boy to do gymnastics? It's in many ways a patriotic right of passage for many entering manhood as it's molded through simular disciplinary methodologies as colonial and military systems. They also do max out through hypertrophy its just not all that they do. At the start of their season they will be stiff for the first week or two but they just go above and beyond, that's the difference

@ienjoyapples 2 года назад

Can I assume you're not from the U.S.? In America, amateur youth gymnastics is almost exclusively for girls. When Americans think of gymnastics, they don't think of Yuri van Gelder demonstrating super-human feats of strength, they think of girls prancing on the floor in leotards.

They have no legs which is huge for true athletic and functional performance

@liammckivergan8131 3 года назад

Nah that's not true, gymnastics have extremely strong legs which are engaged and actively almost constantly. Tumbling, floor, horse and vault all require leg strength

@tiagovazkez9356 3 года назад

@@liammckivergan8131 isometric and some sprinting doesnt make strong functional and athletic strength. Most sports focus on exceling in something by neglecting something else. Many gymnast events focus on acting as if they have no legs and others like soccer require the players to act as if they had no arms. That doesnt mean they dont use it but playing soccer wont give them a 225 strict press.

@fitnessaccount1358 3 года назад

@@tiagovazkez9356 you act like gymnasts can’t train legs, they can train them if they wanted to but their more focused on the skills in their sport rather than overloading their legs with heavy squats

@caza728 3 года назад

@@tiagovazkez9356 That’s one thing I prefer about women’s gymnastics (besides checking out the chicks). It is more balanced between lower and upper body strength. It is not optimal to have minimal lower body mass relative to upper body mass (particularly on balance beam) and vice versa.
