So, If LJ is related to PV performance then is anyone doing any trainiing on the long jump?

hello

tully and bell jumped 21-7ish from 6 steps....

that was my reference for 18/19 footers...

we worked on the penultimate with a "stubby" pole so it was a natural to see have far they could jump from there, without the stubby of course..

dj

ps......... their approach for 6 steps was 41/42 feet

Let me throw this in from Andjei:
A good HS vaulter (4 years into training) should be able to:

LJ 22'
Hold 14'8"
Pole size = body weight + 20 lbs
Over grip at 24"
Plus a few other measures too.

So training should be geared for these performances their senior year.
