6 Step PR

Well I dont know why it took me so long to post this, but I jumped a 6 step (3 left) PR last saturday. My previous PR was 4.65m from outdoors last year just after the USA championship on a bungee, and last saturday I made 4.70m and 4.75m crossbars during my session. Here's the video of my 4.75m jump. There's also a link to a more clear version on the right in my "Run PR" list.




The pole was a 15' 13.6, which is a 195 (I think), and the grip was somewhere around 14'3'' or so. I was definitely happy about the jump, and the flow through the bottom. In a perfect world I would be on a bit softer pole with the standards back at 80, and would come around the pole better up top, but the 13.6 is the softest 15' pole that I have, so I have to make it work! Anyway, maybe soon I will be able to roll that pole a little better and be able to catch the ride better up top.

Other than that, training is going great. We're doing some heavy running on the track right now, lots of heavy sled pulls and sled pushes and a good amount of bounding. Today I'm going to try going back to 12 steps on the runway. Lets hope for the best.
