Search is my first response... If you're going to go work out, I'm sure you won't be as lazy as not scrolling down a few posts or typing a few words into the 'search bar'...

If you are a beginner, you should barely be mentioning any workout other than 'technical workout'... Getting stronger can be difficult, but developing sound technique can be twice as tough. Maybe once or twice a month (if you're truly serious).

Posted: **Tue Oct 14, 2008 6:05 pm**

Hello

I beg to differ.. this program is great for everyone, every event…

The fall of the year is the time to “lay the foundation” to build strength, develop agility, create flexibility, set the basic techniques not only for speed development but the very specific technique for your event …

If you are not in another sport and not competitive on your x-country team… this is the workout you should be doing.. and keep the jumps sessions technical and short..

this is a pretty tried and “trued” program for beginners as well as world class..

Altius could give you a much better argument than I... but here it goes.

What it comes down to is this: What is the limiting factor? I would say that 99+% of the time in beginners it is not a strength component; that is, they are not most limited by how much they can squat, they are limited by how well they can plant, take-off, etc.

I am not saying that beginners should not lift, I am saying that 95% of the work they do should be fundamentals of technique.

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:39 am**

I agree. The learning of technique will give a sound strength base for the beginner. Like doing a hard activity for a standard base of time. Just watch out that the learning stops when the body grows tired and can't perform at a high level anymore.
Technique vs conditioning specific
As one technique gets better the volume will decrease, with an increase in the conditioning/running.

Most beginners don't have access to pole vaulting in the fall and winter. If they have access, by all means they should take full advantage. But in most cases that does not prevent them from doing the workouts given by dj and Rick.

Do you really think anyone on this board would choose lifting or running over pole vaulting when presented with the two choices?

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2008 4:48 pm**

The issue is not which is more fun, but the balance that beginners think should exist between lifting and technical work in order to become a better vaulter... many lift too much, like I have.

2/3 times I was lifting I should have been working on my plant, run, take-off, and swing.

Posted: **Wed Oct 15, 2008 6:43 pm**

good afternoon

It all depends on how you lift and that the lifting is not “the” workout of the day but a supplemental workout.

The weight lifting program I posted adapts to beginners as well as experienced/world-class.. It is specifically designed to work every muscle group in a way that you can develop and strengthen each muscle (large and small) that the athlete needs (full body) to perform every physical move you make. Beginners should use little or no weight and will gain endurance, muscle structure, strength, power and flexibility. Advance athletes receive all the same benefits from this program and will use progressively heaver weights, following the principals of progressive overload and specificity of training (SAID) Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands.
The PM weekly training patterns are adjusted to other technical exercises on the two vault session days, long and short run, if you do not have access to pits in the fall to jump into.
