strength develo-pment for PV...

[baggettpv]

Hey guys.....it's not how much force you create on a bench press, but how much force you can move your body around a stationary support. Let's not forget the age of the athlete either...I circuit trained thru high school and benched 270 (weighed 145) then got specific in college.
Let's see, club record for free hip handstand on the high bar is 6 in a row...

freehip to a handstand... maybe number one all time exercise for vaulters...

get busy athletes... if you can't do "one" you will miss out on your potential in the vault..

Wow! That chick has done 40 of them now and doesn't look like she's going to stop!

I was trying this on my pull up bar after this and I eventually fell off after attempting it many times. I can do a lot of different bar work, but either my bar doesn't allow this, or I've got a lot of falls in my future.

Great point baggettpv! Just glad to see others stressing the importance of controlling your own body weight.

hello

a good way to learn this move is to put your high bar 5/6 feet from the floor and put a 12" pad underneath..

start in a vertical position on the bar.. hands at the waist.. cast the body away from the bar ... as the hips come back toward the bar start the rotation... shoulders back.. feet down and "spin" around the grip.. the momentum from the 180 rotation.. head down/feet up gives you the force to "open"

hopefully

you gymnastics people.. help us out here..

We use a front section of an old pit under ours. Depending on your initial skills you may need "Lots" of extra padding front and back... for the fly away's.

baggettpv & DJ, looking forward to having you two here for the camp next week. We've had many entries and inquiries the past few days. It's going to be awesome!
