Re: Lifting 2 days before a meet
There are a few thoughts, for pre-meet, some coaches will have you do a few reps of a light Olympic lift to, as stated above, stay tuned up neurologically. Another approach is do one or two reps of 90-100% of a lift to target the upper level of muscle fiber. The only way to train muscle fibers is to...

Re: Title IX Reduces Women's Track Opportunities for Succsess
No I think there are issues with Title IX, but not the ones you mentioned. First off lets ignore the fact that you're discussing the NCAA a privet corporation and a law signed by Congress promoting the general welfare of the United States. Yes you are correct in the superficial fact that schools nee...

Re: 2 A DAYS?
I sort of half disagree, your generic fitness is good for specific times of the year, that type and volume of training is good for your first part of the year, but not during competition time. During competition time you don't need to be doing that much. You need to be fit to be a pole vaulter. Duri...

Re: HOW MANY TIMES TO VAULT PER WEEK?!?!
Generally not a good idea to jump two days in a row.
Yea two jump session a week is good out of season. Then once you are in season you might have two jumps session and one competition day.

Re: Coach in distress
The problem is continuity of language. To say that "bending the pole is the goal" may be not correct from where you are sitting. But then again we all say different things. Bend the pole to you, may be different than what the parent means. Meanwhile coaching education is fairly poor in the...

Re: Supplements
Meanwhile it's thoughts like the above that are mis-leading. MOST nutritional supplement developers make banned substances in the morning, and then supplements in the afternoon, if the equipment is not cleaned correctly you can have a cross contamination. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA so ...

Re: Hamstring injury won't go away
Sprint technique is crucial to the vaulter. Now lots of people over stride, but the object is to find the most ideal and closest to perfection that you can. If foot strike to too far out in front your hamstrings need to pull body weight over then your quads can extend your leg for push off. The less...

Re: Speed Training
Obviously speed development is crucial to the vault, and is difficult to do on your own. It takes a great deal of energy to train at top speed so it can only really be done every 2x a week during the speed development stage of training. Here are a few speed development work outs that I use in specif...

Re: Bending Trail Leg?
Physics will tell us that a straight trail leg will allow for the longest possible lever, creating the most amount of torque about the axis, ipso-facto the greatest amount of force possible to be created with the swing. When we talk about the human musculature the stretch reflex allows for better en...
