i weigh 160. But i think the world record for most mass over a high bar goes to Scott Wenholz. This guy weighs about 250 and jumps 17'2" :confused:

. I hear he's on 10.'s, same size poles as bubka was on.

Wow Wenholz didn't look nearly that big in Neovault.

I just sent out a 13'6" 225#.............Yes that was a 225. It had a 7.8 flex.

I weigh in at 200 pounds and I'm only in high school. When I first started, we had to cut a foot and a half off of a 170 pound pole just so that I would have something to use

This does not count as this was never in competition and was on an illegal pole GRIN :devil:

10 years ago LOL at Earl Bell's place I jumped 6' and weighed 290.
I used a special thick wall training pole that was rated under my weight.
I should of used a stiffer pole becasue my standards were 4.5 feet back and I landed deep
I hear someone else jumped 7' there to break my FAT MAN RECORD and weighed 300 lbs.

LOOKING for a pattern for a 10'8"-275lbs ESSX pole but I think it may not bend.

Let's see...I vault with a guy right now that weighs 215# and is holding 3' down on a 14' skypole...then there is a coach that I met at camp last summer who jumps 16' holding around 15' on a 16 ft Carbon FX, oh yeah he weighed 235# he said, and his pole was 200. And my coach last year vaulted 7' on a 13' 180# pole holding around 12'...the bad part is he weighed 245# of steel muscle, arg!

So it seems like the guys are topping the "heaviest vaulters" list...what about the girls? I jump against a girl now that weighs 165 and jumps 8'! Thats the heaviest girl I have seen...but shes not fat, she is just extremely gung-ho and muscular. She had a full ride somewhere but lost it due to injuries, pretty sad.
