Dang!!.. I know I am not the biggest vaulter but I go ahead and say I was about 120 and used a 130 pole now I am like 127-130 and I think I migh move to a bigger pole..not sure yet...
SOMEBODY MAY BEAT ME BUT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BLEED TO DO IT

yeah i was about to say, trey is prolly the heaviest of the 'in shape' vaulters mentioned here. plus the tallest and most likely one of the strongest.
when i was vaulting well last year
i weighed 182
and i was using a 16'9 205 holding at 15'9. So if we go by 20 lbs per foot
thats like weighing 182 and using at 225 lb pole, so thats about 43 lbs
the sad thing is little lindsey regan was poles almost 40 lbs over her weight
