yup... very similar in the mechanics of the take-off, just adding heat down the runway for long jump

hello

tully and bell jumped 21-7ish from 6 steps....

that was my reference for 18/19 footers...

we worked on the penultimate with a "stubby" pole so it was a natural to see have far they could jump from there, without the stubby of course..

dj

ps......... their approach for 6 steps was 41/42 feet
Come out of the back... Get your feet down... Plant big

LJ and Pole Vault

Unread postby baggettpv » Tue Apr 15, 2008 12:25 am

Let me throw this in from Andjei:
A good HS vaulter (4 years into training) should be able to:

LJ 22'
Hold 14'8"
Pole size = body weight + 20 lbs
Over grip at 24"
Plus a few other measures too.

So training should be geared for these performances their senior year.
