Gymnastic-based core workouts.

On high bar:
straight legged leg lifts to parallel with ground (3X10)

Same thing but go all the way to the top of the bar (3X8)

Same thing and finish on top with a bubka (3X6)

If you can do all that in 1 day your core is ready to vault 17'+.

Those are the intense ones we do. You will want and need core muscle endurance (crunches and sit ups) before you start muscular strength training.
