The chart was actually not created from a lot of "gathered data".. I was a long jumper in the late 60's and had learned that the basic "physics" of the event was: The Faster you could run on the runway, all other parts being equal, the farther you could p jump. Fast AND "acc...

The grip to bar height is for the average jumper with a PR bar height near that height. If your overall PR is much higher you will have swing and plant skills that are above the average for that grip and bar height... Don't know if that makes since... The idea at any run distance is to maximize the ...

Vince and I have been friends for a long time.... And have compared notes all along the way...

His speed ladders have proven themselves time and time again...

hey one of the keys to running correctly is to teach "push" mechanics… and progressive stride lengths based on the amount of "push" on each step. You can find my charts at http://www.oneapproachrun.com The speed acceleration chart takes you step by step for approximately a 11.0 1...

have not posted or followed in a while........ but just thought i would share with those that still use PVP my thoughts... it should be optional from the NCAA.. baseball bats where "mandatory" but where avaible from more than one company.. the same with football helments. i have not found ...

hello He is swinging "TO" vertical and should be swinging "through" vertical. Another way to look at it is to continue swinging, from takeoff (yes long arms/elastic) to max height, using the arms to swing, pull, turn… all in one continuous motion. Another consideration is that th...

Good morning, There is too close and too wide....... It effects the run, pole drop, plant and swing... Plus the size pole you use... Grip the pole with you top hand and grab the pole with the bottom by measuring with the thump in y The arm pit.. The grip should be ... With the pole held with the top...

hello I had to re-write…….. i'll finish with a short note. if you have studied, analyzed or even looked at one of the vault heights numbers on my chart http://www.oneapproachrunn.com I hope you can understand that what I teach is science based, from my own research, as well as every "study"...

hello hey, Tully was not and exception... what he did was change more to a "physics based" method that would produce a greater "resultant velocity" or in short terms more force at the takeoff. This allowed him to grip higher and perform the correct technique more easily, consiste...

good afternoon, you have entered into a discussion that has no viable answers. are you saying he went from taking off under to using a free-take off or that he just lengthened his last 2 strides? This is actually far from what I was saying, and with such a gap in understanding I don't believe I can ...

hello

numbers/data impact what i'm saying...

simple by the numbers..

By the numbers Tully was no more under than Bubka or any of the other jumpers. he also was no futher out.

Tim was the same... yes he was "under" many times by 10cm.. but so was bubka.

Good Afternoon, Tully changed. When McGinnis did the first studies I laid the data out on a spread sheet (the old time, bookkeeping type, computers were not available) column by column 16 to 24 columns of comparative data, of all the vaulters he collected, all the 1984 trials jumpers and the Pepsi M...
