Since the top arm is further from the fulcrum(the box) would that not give you more mechanical advantage than using the bottom arm? That is the whole idea of how wrenches work correct?

So just to clarify, I believe the forward and upward extension of the bottom hand throughout the downswing provides the following benefits: 1.

I feel like we are going in circles. David, you have told us,ad naseum, what is the incorrent way to vault. Please tell us the correct way. I have read a lot of critiques from you about the petrov model, yet very little insite from you as to what is good technique.

I've been dealing with something similar for over 4 years now... Get rid of it now while its still fresh! In addition to the previous comments, I recommend seeing a massage therapist. If you don't have the money for that, find a lacrosse ball and a hard surface to penetrate into the tissue to break...

Kinesio tape can prevent or even help muscular recovery by helping to circulate blood flow. Read below to find out more. I still have yet to see a good randomized controlled study that has proven that Kinesio tape workes.....If you have one I would love to have it. I'm not saying that it doesn't wo...
