Could a competitive gymnast use this to practice cast to handstands, clear hip circles, and/or pirouettes?

I'm not sure. It know would move around a lot unless you figured out a way to secure it to the floor. I think you should email the seller with your question and the weight of the gymnast.

I would think so. At least you hand and fingers will be strengthened. You might want to augment it with a resistive rubber band as part of your exercise routine.

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

Sorry don't know. i use it for ankle weights. But i doubt it as it would interfere with wrist movement.

You will have the full range of motion. This brace is more for side to side support.

Yes, You can use underhand. The angle as any straight bar puts some pressure on the wrists.

Yes you could. It doesn't impede use of your hand as there isn't much padding. It's comfortable to wear. But I don't know how long the material will hold up if you are using it with dumb bells, bench presses and the like. After 1 year mine has shown some wear with some stitching coming loose. But I have used it a lot. It is an awesome product. I have used it primarily for my wrist but have also wrapped it around my elbow to ice the elbow.

I suppose you could on a table top but there is very little tension control. It wouldn't be a great workout for upper body.

I would think so if you use the swinging arm bars. The counting is really all about the arms not feet. Great question!

I own a reformer without a stand and I used to take lessons on a Performer in a Pilates studio that was on a stand. I find exercising on either pretty much interchangeable - I don't think the stand is at all necessary.

I would say yes. I currently use the medium(green) band around my ankles to strengthen my hips as well. I hope this helps.

I don't see why not. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter to practice tumbling. It doesn't have any loose parts and doesn't come apart. It is constructed well. It also folds up in kind of a stack style.

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

If you mean using it as an upper body/arm only trainer, the short answer...yes. But before starting with any new workout regime, consult with your doctor and/or physical therapist. This way you can make the most of this machine.

I'm going to say yes for two reasons. First, I saw my granddaughter using hers to practice serving. Second,SKLZ sells one for volleyball and it looks pretty much the same.

No, this is a ballet barre. I think you are needing what is called a gymnastics trainer bar or Kip Bar.

I think that depends. Is balance something you need to work on as well? If so, I would get a bigger board to give you more space to practice.
