I didn't start lifting until this year...and am on the biggest poles of my life...i would also say leg strength is a huge key as well. If you don't have leg strength, your run and takeoff wont be as powerful, and that is prolly 90% of the vault. If you look at Toby, his quads and hamstrings are huge. Prolly why he brings it down the runway and is on huge sticks! Just my opinion...

ugh. 20+ pulll ups in high school. 13 ft. strength certainly isn't everything.
