Do you think gymnasts are too muscular?

No, they most definately are not too muscular.  Gymnasts are awesome, and probably in the best shape of any athlete.

Not even Arnold was perfect so you may want to stop worrying about it; however i thnk the concensus among modern weight trainers is that to build muscle mass you have to focus on forcing the muscle to fully contract during the 'pump' phase - usually attained with high weights low reps HOWEVER different people may find different methods work better.  Also give adequate time between sessions to allow the muscle to rest - overworking muscles have proven to produce LESS mass not more.

It depends on how old you are as well! But that is pretty small so I wouldn't say too skinny but you are thin!! But theres nothing to worry a/b if you are a cheerleader then a lot of your weight is contributed to muscle! Being a former cheerleader I know what you are talking a/b! So I think you are just fine honey!

You are extremely muscular...However, I think you look good.  I am extremely attracted to muscular men with the brains to go along with the bod.  If you are able to maintain your physique that's wonderfully, but don't get any bigger. :-)

Disons que c'est surtout au niveau du réglement FIG qui dit que la catégorie Senior commence à 15 ans pour la Gymnastique artistique féminine et pour la Gymnastique rythmique.\n\nAu niveau performance, dans ces deux disciplines, la gymnaste est au top vers entre 16 et 19 ans ..  donc participer à 16 ans permet en général de faire 2 olympiades ce qui est rarement le cas en gymnastique.  \n\nCa tient aussi à la morphologie des gymnastes, la gymnastique est plus facile quand on est de petite taille et de faible poids pour les filles ... dès qu'elles stoppent l'entrainement les filles reprennent leur croissance.\n\nPour info depuis les derniers jeux olympiques (ou c'était déjà en application) l'âge minimum pour y participer est 16 ans.\n\n\nNadia Comanecci est entraîneur aux Etats Unis et est très réputée dans le domaine de l'entraînement gymnique ..

You bet I do. All the gymnastic moves, cardiovascular action etc. Most cheerleaders are in great shape.

Physical characteristics\n\nPhysical attributes necessary for competition success in female gymnasts have significantly changed over the past thirty years.  The progressive increase in the difficulty of skills since the 1950's and 60's has increased the physical demands and the acrobatic nature of the sport.  Today's elite female gymnasts are small, lean (low percent body fat), and well muscled which results in a high power-to-weight ratio.  Generally, female gymnasts reach their peak power-to-weight ratio prior to puberty and are ready for elite international competition at the minimum age requirement.\n\nMale gymnasts have also changed over the years and are now smaller than the gymnasts of the 1950's.  Male gymnasts are lean and heavily muscled, yet possess adequate flexibility and agility to perform the required skills at elite international competition.  Modern successful male gymnasts have a high power-to-weight ratio which is normally reached during their twenties which makes them somewhat older than elite female gymnasts.

Always Gymnastics. Gymnasts are the most Athletic in my eyes, as they have SO much control of their bodies and it takes much much more than physical strength to perform. I also enjoy Ice-skating, but living in Deep South Texas, we don't get to skate often. (lol)..

i don't think what you're doing is enough.  people who wanted to build muscle use like 50 lb weights.  increase your reps just a little bit more and you should see results.  not too much, though, or you'll break your arm

I would say that society values people who are in shape (toned and fit) more so than bulky rambo-style huge muscles.

Do you mean "muscular", or are you referring to the magic stick

Depends on the event. More of the artistic parts are naturally best done by women. Men in the sport have tremendous upper body strength, so parallel bars and rings for the GUYS can be SICK to watch. I would say gymnastics is the one and ONLY place that men and women can truly compete as EQUALS yet use the better advantages that each gender brings to the event.

I saw the movie "Stick It" and I don't think it made gymnasts out to look stupid/preppy.  I love to watch gymnastics and I respect anyone with the kind of discipline a gymnast has.
