(:W %)= ݋&gVٰűڊ+9O1O֒Fz( ]3ecٺE jW-΄ ApqI:xSC i6EEsider the number of participating hours we have, the injury rate in gymnastics is surprisingly low. The most common injury, and it s not so much an injury as it is just an ache o a pain, may be to the ankles or wrists, and that s usually for athletes who are just starting out who lack good conditioning. In the six years we ve owned this gym there have only been three times when kids were hurt badly enugh so they had to go to a doctor. One of those three happened during an open-gym situation in which a friend pushed a boy off something and he fell and broke his arm, and the other two were broken arms from just falling and landing badly. <br>Upon enlisting the support of most of the parents for his new strength program, Ayars had to sell the athletes on the weights.  Most of the younger ones were gung ho and thought it was the neatest thing in the world to lift weights. Some of the olderathletes, especially the female gymnasts, either had a fear that they were going to look like men if they weight trained or believed that weight training wasn t important. <br><br>Flipping for the Program<br><br>Once the new strength program was underway at Sandhills and the positive results rolled in, enthusiastic support replaced the former resistance. In his current program, Ayars introduces weight training to athletes as young as seven years old, having them do squats with a light bar, or even a broomstick, to teach the technique.  We start them with light weights they can handle easily so they can work on technique, and then we just slowly pyramid the weight up. <br>Ayars keeps the reps in the three-to-five range, increasing weight as long as the athlete s technique is good.ch Tomberlin is a strong supporter of BFS. "I think it's the best program you can use for high school athletes. From a time management standpoint, we usually don't have two to three hours that no bouncing. Despite the conservative nature of this method, Ayars has set a standard for the girls to power clean their bodyweight for three reps, and he already has five girls as young as 13 years old achieving it. He also wants them to squat their bodyweight, a goal that he says most of his athletes achiev quickly.<br>One key auxiliary exercise in Ayars program is the overhead squat, one of the BFS power balance exercises.  My experience has been that the overhead squat is one of the best all-around body exercises an athlete can do, says Ayars.  It works on flexibility, which of course the gymnasts need, and it s very good for working on balance. In gymnastics, having the arms overhead during the exercise transfers well to what they do on the balance beam, because during part of the routine they will have their arms overhead and their knees bent. <br>A Strong Futurteachers take their classes."<br><br>Weightlifting is also a competitive sport at Washington County, and the school goes to at least one weightlifting competition a year. "We usually take two teams, an elite team and another team lly in regard to promoting eating disorders.  The book painted the entire sport withago we took six girls and two won their weight classes against boys!"<br><br>T
