4-05-11 Vault Practice

Hey guys! Today was so windy and my legs were pretty tired but I managed to do some good things. I was working on going straight into the pit(not to the sides) and mainly staying tight on top. I think I did a pretty good job at doing this. Still need to continue to work on it along with other things but I am very excited how things are going. I am going to be doing P90X: Yoga X tonight. Here is the video from today.

Hey guys so I did a pole vault circuit which went really well. I feel like I am always improving in some way in my drills. I also started doing something different with my lifting. I am trying out what are called jumpsoles. they put you about 3 1/2 inches off the ground and they only cover from your toes to the start of your arch. I am lifting in them and I will do my plyo's in them. I have done research and it makes sense to me how they work so I thought I would give them a try. A lot of people have seen huge results in there speed, vertical, and overall strength. Here is what I did today.

4-03-11 Vault Practice

Hey guys! So today was my second vault practice since coming back. I am liking what I am doing. I cant control my top end though. I was trying to stay tighter on top. I feel like the pole is just to short and to small to really work on my top end the way I want to. I will have to go from 14's to 15s  though because I do not have anything in between. The 14' 170 is the biggest 14' I have. Then the next poles are 15's and there's a  150,155,160,165,175 and a 185. Well here is the video. Hope you enjoy. Sorry to the people that hate the music I put to my videos.
