"The Topper" exercise for the TOP OF THE POLE VAULT
Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2014 9:11 pm
The goal with a good fast swing is to get inverted and realign with the pole. This devise helps you feel where that balance on the pole is without ever having to run down the runway. It helps you build strength to go up the line of the pole without falling toward the crossbar without ever having to run down the runway. This devise helps the pole vaulter understand why you want to be in line with the pole. Try pressing the pole tip up when the pole is not in line and close to your body. It's very hard. When the elastic is connected to either foot and the pole tip you have to keep the pole close to the body and in line with the body to move the pole up. While moving the pole up it is hard to balance the pole. Every time you have to use muscles to keep the pole in line with your body you are developing the strength to move up the pole without falling out toward the crossbar.Learn how to stay in line with the elastic forces of the pole propelling you vertically at the top of your vault.
"The Topper" pole vault exercise helps you balance, build muscle memory, strength and align your body on the pole while the pole recoils.
An excellent exercise to build strength and balance for the TOP OF THE POLE VAULT.
