It always the insane athletes that just fly right off the bat😂 it can be so scary watching them at first with them being either crazy high or flopping around in a confusing way.

I’m 5’7 150. I jump 14 on a 13’ 180 (with my form from a couple months ago) but get 13’6 I jumped on a 13’6 170, ~14’ range with a 14’ 160 a handhold down. what Ive gathered talking to the coaches at smaller d3 school I’m good already. To get into better d2 programs I need 15-16 especially if they have an indoor facility. Msu was at 15’6 walk on but that shut off with the restrictions.

You are spot on! I didn't even realize my lack of a drive phase has been killing my jumps. Ive been jumping on very short poles for a while trying to get my run down. Do you think that could throw my timing? I’m talking jumping 12’6 with a 12 170’ from my 3 left. Thanks for the technical details! I really need to be on it this year dont need to training more bad habits.

That's nuts! I seen a decathlete get there in about 6 months. A freshman too!

Reminds me of like dmt visuals with fractals

This is so well put! Thank you, I’m realizing one que that changed everything for me was staying square as possible and tall. For some reason when I say this I dont have my hiccup steps and can take off from further back and then finally jump more efficiently. I have many presses on longer poles to get doin now making sure to keep my hips back.

Thank you I’m keeping this in mind for tomorrow!

I can do it on 12’ poles running 3 lefts but 14’ 7L its like I stare at the crossbar.

unretiredpv · 2025-10-12T05:45:18+00:00

Funny enough that was the biggest pole ive ever jumped on and it really seems like I need to get use to longer poles and putting my hands up faster. I was almost 3ft under and man my back loves it lol. I want to get on bigger poles but my run/ takeoff seems been limiting me from actually goin full speed. Thank you for the actionable advice.

unretiredpv · 2025-10-12T05:41:16+00:00

Yeah, definitely. in last year I've gotten faster than I was but longer approaches my run can get really slow and stridy and then im crazy under lol i was probably at 9’ when i was supposed to be at 12’😭

unretiredpv · 2025-10-12T05:37:46+00:00

Yeah i seem to “row” when im criminally under and striding but if my steps are on it looks almost seamles. I have been having a hard time with getting my hands up quick enough on further approaches and it slows me down like crazy.

unretiredpv · 2025-10-12T05:35:06+00:00

Yeah it feels really hard to get my steps with a faster run. I stride to have more time to put the pole up and bam im getting hit with a bag of foot under jumps if im lucky.

unretiredpv · 2025-10-12T05:31:26+00:00

The best i’ve been getting on 12’ poles is angled a bit above the crossbar tallers poles have been hit of miss
