1-24-2011 Practice

Hello guys, hope the vault training is going good for you! Today I had a day that felt like an off day because I was sore from lifting the day before. I went from a 5 step on 15's today. I think I did some pretty good things on top(for feeling the way I was). I was pretty blocked out with my left arm today on a lot of my jumps, at least more then the previous two practices, but I was starting to extend up the pole today pretty well. also I am sorry but I did not get any warm up drills only a couple 4 step vaults. I will try and start being more constant with that. I just hate disturbing peoples practice to have them record. I will ask them Wednesday if they think its annoying for me to always be asking for them to record. Anyways what I am trying to achieve with my technique is  1) A great run/pole drop 2) Great plant/Take-off(Outside) With a straight but relaxed left arm so I still can hit elastic and be able to swing to the top of the pole. I just am having a hard time swinging correctly. I know I block in a lot of my vaults but I have seen people swing really well that block(Tarasov), but also on the rings i struggle to swing well (IMHO). I will post video on here tomorrow of me trying to swing on the rings. I am open to advice. This is something that I think I can really improve on. It will allow me to start doing what I want to be doing in my vaulting career. I just want to learn and become the best jumper I can be. Also post links to the videos of you guys jumping. I like to watch new vault videos. Its one of my ways of learning.
                                                Keep reaching for your goals!
