Thanks to this Crossfit gym I just recruited a 15 y/o retired level 9 gymnast to our Weightlifting team. It can definitely be done but it does require a great Crossfit owner. The owner of our gym is awesome.
Gymnastics is a great foundation for weightlifting. Or just about anything. Wish I had trained in gymnastics as a child.
(in b4 someone says if I do it now I will fall and break a hip)
