Help getting to the push off.
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 8:51 pm
Hi guys. I'm a 13'6" jumper I weight 155 and I'm on a 14' 165 UCS. I have been asking a lot on how to get over my top handgrip and I'm having trouble. Kirk B (anyone who reads other posts will know him) provides me with really good info on the run and takeoff and it's gotten a lot better. My takeoff mark has been more consistent and I'm not taking off so late(not perfect but better). However I'm having trouble with getting to the "push off position". I know everything is built on the quality of the thing before it so that's the advice I'm asking for. I just don't understand what it is that I'm doing the that causes me to not go way up over the pole because I get so vertical and I pull. So I'm asking advice for:
1. Anything at and after takeoff to get my hips up and over my top handgrip.
2. I've heard from a decathlon coach that I don't bend the pole enough or as much as it should (T or F and why?)
3. Do I row? I can't figure out if I row or I my top arm just straightens when I drop my shoulders.

I know I missed it but it was a good jump at my PR.
Thanks guys
