Dumb question: why don't men do BHS on floor? Just RO into their back tumbling.

More power and torque into the element.

I hated doing bhs… they hurt my wrists

 

[tempest]

I have no idea how McClure is going to pick this team.

The algorithm probably will

 

[Passion]

High Bar is done for tonight and Shane Wiskus is 2nd on HB.

Top 3 (from just Trials, not Nationals) is Richard, Wiskus, Malone

 

[Passion]

Paul Juda hits PH - 14.250

14.05 night one

 

[irichluck21]

Juda needs to go, he would do FX for sure in TF, PH in TF, HB in TF

 

[Passion]

Richard gets through PH as well - 13.6

Brett McClure can enjoy a small breath of relief

 

[Passion]

Wiskus hits Rings - 14.150 up +.2 from night one

Malone - 14.3 on Rings

 

[JDB]

"I ironed my shirt on my ironing board. I could have used Brody Malone." Johnny R.

 

[Passion]

Khoi makes it through FX - 14.450

Alex Diab only 14.45 on Rings.

 

[Passion]

Disaster for Yul on PH, an event he really needed to hit.

Not looking good for him tonight..

12.900

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Juda needs to go, he would do FX for sure in TF, PH in TF, HB in TF

He's looking better than ever.

 

[Gymnbf]

why this team seems to be having so many issues with ph dismounts? Its odd

 

[Passion]

Asher Hong hits a great FX - 14.150

6.2D - 7.95E

Their routines do seem awfully long to me. It's obviously stamina then.

 

[Passion]

Sigh, they finally show Bock and this is the routine.

13.900 for Bock, still top 3 on PH here so far.

 

[JDB]

Their routines do seem awfully long to me. It's obviously stamina then.

Eight skill count can't come soon enough.

 

[Passion]

Whittenburg 14.850 on FX - highest score of the night on that event.

5th overall on FX so far though because of the 13.650 night one.

ETA: Floor is done now for the competition so he's 5th on FX at Trials.

Floor at Trials:
1. Wiskus
2. Juda
3. Richard
4. Hong
5. Whittenburg

All this plus to save room if you are just doing one booming element. Back flexibility too... when I did a whip to double full it was actually much better than my BHS to double full.
