quick note- static bubkas are not possible ;) . A better term would be controlled bubkas. Theres a range between being static (not moving at all, think about how you stretch) and dynamic/explosive. Try training your 'bubka' muscles through all stages, holding your legs out at 90 degrees, slowly going through bubkas (technically dynamic), and swinging bubkas (very dynamic). As the season progresses, the more you focus on purely dynamic the less conditioning it will be and the more vault-specific it will be.

Must be the intro kines/biomechanics classes im taking, but i thought id throw that out there.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph

haha, it's all good bro, you do have a good point. So yea, those were "close to dynamic" bubka's haha, not aimed on swing. Just pre-season core-conditioning. -6P

I did that all summer and i gotta say it was the best thing i could have done. My legs got murdered last week from the runs and lifts, but having a strong core not just helps with gymnastics but it makes you faster too, and it's making a huge difference so far.

I know this doesn't really have anything to do with the video but what kind of back exercises do you do? I had back problems at the end of the hs season last year and it killed my club track season.

very simple, it's a circuit workout: 20 V-sits, 20 supermans (holding each for a second before going down), and then 40 side planks (20 each side, 1 side at a time), then repeat that, 3 times, everyday. let me know if you have anymore questions. -6P
