My daughter is a copper or like a level 3-4 no we don't bolt it to floor someone stands on it to spot her at all times yrs she can do. Her pullovers, back hip circles, mill circles and she uses it for strength training too all and all. We love it just make sure you get a mat for it

I'm not sure what a back hip circle is, but it is very sturdy. I have mine on carpet and it does move around a little but it is safe.

my daughter is doing front hip circles and kips. we have found it to be sturdy so far with only a mat underneath. so far she has been able to do all of her skills and some of the ones she is leanring for the level 4 and 5 routine. my daughter is 8.

You should not have to bolt it to the ground. My kids run from across the room and launch themselves onto the bar. It moves, but only slightly. FYI - we have it on top of a 1/3" mat.

There is no jumping around. It is all weight driven. The most you have to worry about is putting the weights/bar down between rest periods but that's not an issue as long as you're aware and not drop them.

Yes, my daughter has been doing gymnastics for 5 years and loves hers. Very sturdy and easy to move.

It is fairly soft, which makes it great for beginning gymnasts. It is not good for more advanced gymnasts, because they can't work on turns.

Maybe. My seven year old does double back hip circles (sp?) and the whole thing shakes and rattles violently. I'm guessing that we will retire the thing when she turns nine.

My Trampoline did not require any bolts at all. The silver pieces all fit into each other, and there is a push-button that lines up with the holes. There is some adjusting required to get everything fitted together. It is much easier to get the base together with two people, and when the silver pieces are in the final position, if they are upside down it makes it much harder to flip over.

Yes, my 6-year old does high kips and circles with no problem. We did get the extended base legs and they do help. It's a great beginner's bar.

I'm not sure what your question is but we do own this trampoline. My youngest daughter has been involved in gymnastics and has loved it - it's also her place of "refuge" when she wants to think! It is very sturdy - we have had to replace some of the posts and the net when a storm tore it from the ground. (order@1800trampoline.com) After that we also purchased the straps that you can use to anchor it down - very essential. It's large and very sturdy - she can do her back flips and all kinds of gymnastics moves!

My daughter competes at USAG level 3, which this year is the previous level 4 skills. She can practice her routine on this beam at home. This is the same routine that she does at the gym on the high beam. Doing these skills on a lower beam at home really helps their balance and confidence. By the way, the gym has 2 beams exactly this size that the kids are sent to practice on if they are struggling on the high beam. It is also the same width as the high beam.

Yes you can you become completely inverted I have not done any ab workout, because I can not stay inverted for very long, the blood runs to my head This is very hard to assemble, the instuctions are not very good. If you do purchase this, when putting together finger tighten the screws first and then tighten after assembled. I used a small rolled up towel behind my back for strech, that seems to help. If I could do over, I really dont think I would purchase.

you can do almost anything, provided that you have strong balance and control skills... Since the power dip station hangs from a chin bar and only rests on the door frame, you would need to adapt (removable) straps to secure the station while doing rows, to prevent it from moving to the sides and backwards... Good luck

The circular one will allow you the ability to "roll" as it is, on the floor. The semi one is basically the circular cut in half, its going to sit as is, and basically not move when your doing PT on it. Let me know if that helped you out.

The idea is that you will sit well above the ground - your feet will not reach the ground. You don't sit "down" - you raise your bum up into it. Think of a bar stool. You can hoist yourself up using the bar that's low in the front. It should be fine IMHO

I'm 200 pounds, and there's no movement of any kind. The Diamondback is build solid and heavy with a wide footing. I don't see any way for it to move around during an exercise.

We have this bar in our basement with an 7' 2" foot drop ceiling. My kids are around the same height and my smaller one can do back hip circles on the bar at the highest height with no problem. My older child can do back hip circles with the bar set slightly lower. Pretty soon he'll only be able to practice things like kips on it, however.

You have to put it on something solid above the springs, like I used a square of cardboard it just helps it pick up the movement. It was recalled a while back because of a strangulation hazard, however the news ones have these plastic wire guide that prevents this. Completly worth it

Well it's pretty intense and there is some jumping. If you have issues with your knees or hip I wouldn't advise you try. But one can also do the routine with a little less vigor, and of course stop or slow down. It will definitely give one a cardio & core work out.
