Hello, i'm new here and i have a question,

gymnastics train with weights too or its all about bodyweight?

Thank you

 Mostly BW, more and more female gymnastics programs are using weights as well as in collegiatee programs but I know for a fact UC Berkeley didn't besides DB for assistance work/recovery/mobility work. 

 

 The USOTC does use weights for their MAG (men's) gymnasts so I have been told. China has been known to have them squat as well as the Ukrianians.

 

 But by en large, the bulk of work is done using bodyweight.
